“Mind Dump”
Size, marker, ink, magazine cut-outs, glitter on paper, 2021“Mind Dump”
I decided to go into this project without any idea and create whatever I was feeling for that day, but continue to keep it cohesive with each other. I don’t feel like it fits perfectly together, but I’m still proud of it. My favorite part of my project is the juice box and the rainbow flowing across the paper, it’s very colorful and nicely executed. There is a lot of symbolism in this project, “I’ll be fine in the morning,” is the idea that things may be hard but tomorrow is always a new day and it’ll be better. That’s mainly the idea then there are other small things like the numbers for counting down, the mouth symbolizes a door to the soul like going into my creative side, and then the birthday one because I turned 17. My least favorite part is the birthday cake I really dislike the colors, so I think in the future I will change that.
“Tranquil”
Size, glitter, found objects, acrylic, markers on canvas, 2021“Tranquil”
My idea for this project was simple. I wanted to create something pink and shiny. Obviously, it’s exactly that but even more. I started with the background, I dripped paint down another canvas and put this little one underneath it as a technique to not waste paint. That’s how I created the interesting background and just used that as a base. My phrase “I love who I am when I’m with you,” does not recognize a person. It resembles my creativity; I love who I am when I’m creating. It gives me a sense of who I am and actually makes me feel alive. The sun crying doesn’t have to be a bad thing, it’s crying out of happiness. 3 is my lucky number and you will see it somewhere in almost all of my artwork this semester. I used a falling effect for my three people to help your eyes make their way around the work. I love everything about my work, my favorite is either the sun or my three people. There is so much to look at. If I could change anything it would be the google eyes.
"Fat"
8x10, glitter, acrylic, marker, 2021"Fat"
My idea was to paint a mushroom. It was a fun little project that I really just wanted to mess around with some technique and colors. This was my first real project using acrylic which I never really used before and really struggled with. I wanted to combine new ideas that I had been feeling like using mixed media and different colors. Although this piece is very simple it was the start of my creativity burst and for that I'm thankful. This artwork doesn't necessarily mean anything deep or metaphorical, but it does mean something for me as the beginning for all the art I created this semester, all of which I'm proud of. It's more of a tester piece for me trying out new styles like abstract and surrealism.

"I Am So Hungry And It Is Only Second Block"
size, watercolor, paint marker, glitter, 2021"I Am So Hungry And It Is Only Second Block"
Art is whatever I want it to be, so I'm going to create whatever I want. I love just having fun with it and not stressing too hard about what it's going to look like, because if I don't like it I can just start over. Time is irrelevant when it comes to my art. I don't need people to like it because validation is not what I'm looking for. I'm questioning my creativity with this piece and wondering why am I even here. I love the person with the hair the body looks so cool. The circle is not perfect whatsoever, it's lopsided which I wanted. I think I could've created the purple words a little better they look a bit off. All my art is surreal I don't think I've created any different this year.
