Graduation, chalk pastels
9/29/17
I chose this idea because it is something personal to me. It consists of one of my main hobbies, my graduation year, and my school colors. I put the year 2021 in alternating red and yellow with the 0 elongated so it looks more like a football. I also put a graduation cap over the second 2. I also added alternating swishes and sharp swiggles in the opposite color as the number above.
I used chalk pastels to create this. I wrote it in chalk pastel, but the lines didn't have very much volume so I used shading to thicken the line and make it look better in my opinion.
For this piece I am going to use Envision. I chose envision because 2021 can be anything for anyone. So I did a few things to personalize the piece. Some customization's are: school colors, my hobby, the graduation cap to show that is my graduation year.

Basketball, Acrylic Paint
12/11/17
I chose to use acrylic paint because I have never painted with that media before. This piece is supposed to be a poster to cheer on my very good friend at the basketball game. We had made a deal to make posters for each other and come to our games and cheer with them. Some challenges I faced was spacing. I had to make sure that I had enough room to make the letters the size I wanted them to be. From my mistakes, I learned that I need to sketch out how I want spacing and lettering so then when I do go to create the piece I do not mess up.
I discovered that I am not a very good artist. I do not have an artistic stroke in my hand that therefore my letters and writing just look like my normal hand writing. I now realize that I am not good at painting with acrylic paint and that is a media that I should stay away from.
