Oil Painting

Doing this oil painting was a lot easier than my first one. I had a good idea of what to do and what not to do, but it would've turned out better if I had better paint brushes to use. I kept messing up on the hair because of that, but the rest turned out okay. I had a little trouble with the background because the paint dried too fast but it looks fine now.

Sculptural Painting

I made this using paper towel rolls and tissue paper. I cut out the shapes I needed for the umbrella and glued the rolls to the back. Then I glued the tissue paper to the background and the umbrella. The black is paint and so are the rain drops. It didn't turn out that great, the glue and water mixture made the back curl out and the umbrella to droop down so it's not out as much as it was before. But overall, for something I had no idea what to do, it was fine in the end and was fun to try something new.

Mosaic

It's supposed to be a rose, but when I put the glass in, they sank and I had to add more glass so it doesn't look that much like a rose. After that it didn't look like much so I put small pieces of red and clear glass around it.

Story Art

This is a story about learning to play the piano, but what it's really about is that you need to practice something to be good at it and don't give up. This is going to be in pencil and I'm planning on using some red for some parts.

Fortune Cookie Art

"You are ready to let your creative talents blossom." was the fortune I decided to work with. It took me a while to figure out what I was going to do, but when I came up this idea I got pretty into this project. The idea was to have a flower (rose) come out of a piece of paper, so it would be like the paper (the creative talent) was blossoming. I feel like this is my best artwork this year.

Coloring Book Art

The theme for these are obviously Alice In Wonderland. I am still working on them, I'm going to color them in. It's not really abstract, but I didn't know what else to do.

 This is some progress I've made, but I'm still not finished, I still have a few more things to color in.

I have everything colored in now but the background (grass, water, etc.).

I'm finally finished with this project. It's not that great, it just took a lot longer than I thought it would to color everything in and try to find the right colors to use.

Photos of Forgotten Things

The lost and forgotten pictures I took were all planned out. I went through my house and picked out some things that I thought could have been easily lost or forgotten and put them in different places around my yard. I put them in places that would be normal to see the specific object that was "lost" in that environment. I tried to get cool perspectives for each object, but not all of them worked out. This was a cool project for positioning things in ways that look natural and/or seeing things through the lenses.

I used an iPad app again for editing these pictures and didn't try to change them that much. I made the pictures darker and either added or took away the contrast. I also took away some of the color (saturation). I did these edits because I wanted to make the pictures look old and drained out. Some pictures turned out that way, but others I decided looked better more defined (higher contrast).
