5/26/2021 0 Comments "Artist Statement-Identity"My artwork has a blue and green colors mixed and blended together. There is a side profile of a lady in the bottome left corner that is blended in with the blue and green. I modge podged over the canvas with the side profile and then I layed down images that represents me and what I love to do. There is 16 different images scattered around the canvas and around the lady. They're all different shapes and sizes. Some of the pictures are overlapping in the coners but not all the pictures. I created this artwork by painting the canvas with blue and green water-color paint. Then I modge podged the side profile that I drew in the bottome left corner, which made the water color pick up so it blended into the lady and she became the color of the canvas background. Once that dried I went over with modge podge again and layed down the images I selcted that are apart of my identity and things that I love. Creating this artwork didn't take a lot of steps, but it took me awhile to draw the lady and I never did get it to look like me, but it still turned out good. The idea behind artwork was to show and express the things I love and what makes me, me. I chose the background color because those two colors (blue and green) are in my top favorite colors. The lady in the artworks represents me and looking at who I am. The pictures that I chose all have meaning and great importance to me. I have my friends and I for one picture, with them I am outgoing and always laughing, they are so important to me, we all push each-other to be our best and we all can have a fun time but also have serious conversations. I have three basketball pictures. Basketball takes up most of my time and I have been playing since I could walk really. I have a picture of Pierz basketball with BALK (Britney, Alyssa, Lyndsey me, Kenna) and Courtney and Emily. I chose that picture because during the last strech of basketball us six stayed home to distance learn so we wouldn't have to miss the last games in case we got contacted trace and we all got so much closer. The other basketball pictures are from my AAU basketball team I joined called Minnesota Comets, I chose those pictures because its a new experience for me, playing and making new friends. The picture of me hunting is the time I shot my first deer, I am not a big hunter but I go with my dad because I like spending time with him. The volleyball picture is of Maddie, Alana, and I, we got JV and were scared because it was a big jump from JH to JV but we had each other. I put "faith" because I would say I am a religious person and believe in God. Spotifiy and Caribou I just love. Platte lake is where I bascially live in the summer, its my happy place, and since I moved we sold our house where I grew up so our cabin is like the "place I grew up" that we still have now. My family is the most important thing in my live. My parents are always there encourging me and supporting me through everything and without them I would be no-where. My sister is my inspiration. I sometime feel the pressure from coaches and my parents even that I have to be just as smart, and good at sports as her, which is a LOT to live up to but she is there giving me tips and just there to listen and help me with everything. My dogs are like my little siblings since I am the youngest. They're my entertainment and next year without Courtney they're all I will have when my parents get to much. Track picture is Jenna, Maddie, and I its my first year out and without them I wouldn't even consider doing it. They make it so fun and make it seem 100x less scary. On the jetskis is Lexy, Alana, and I. Lexy and I are cabin neighbors and Alana is only four cabins down from us. Without them at the cabin I would be so bored, they make my summer so much fun and we all have the best time together. Sunsets at the cabin are the best, and a great thing to see at the end of the day. Without sports I don't know who I am or what I would even do, I really don't have any other hobbies. My overall thoughts are good, I do actually like how the background color blended onto the lady it looks good like that, I just wish that she looked more like me and I had more pictures so more could overlap instead of just a couple. My goals were to show what I love and who I am, and I think I did a good job of that.

5/18/2021 0 Comments 5/14/21Some studio habits of mind that I am using are express and envision. I use express by trying to show the meaning behind by artwork, showing my ideas about me. Envision I use by doing rough drafts and seeing how it looks and moving foward from there. I painted a canvas one of my favorite colors, then I printed out pictures that are important to me and what I think makes me, me. Then I am drawing a side profile (suppose to be me) and putting it on the side like it is facing all the pictures. The beginning I was going to just write down the things that are important to be, who I am. But instead I am using the pictures. I really like the color of the canvas that I did. Its a good mix and makes the pictures and side profile pop. I am still working on my side profile so it looks more like me then a random person.
5/7/2021 0 Comments 5/7/21I am using express by having meaning of who I am, what I like, and what makes me.... me. Using this I'm learning to create my art trying to show all of that. I am also using reflect, everything that I wrote down about me, my life, what I like will reflect off onto my artwork. Talking and expressing my ideas with Mrs. Underhill and some of my classmates getting their ideas seeing what would work best and look the best. My idea is to do a side profile of a women (maybe she'll look like me a little bit) and for the background have pictures, and symbols of things I love, and things that describe me. I found artworks that I like, in the first picture in the left top corner I like the background, the right top corner I like the way she did her hair, still not decided on how I want the hair. The bottom left I liked the idea with the scattered parts, but I don't think I will do that. Bottom middle is what I was orginally going to do, have the words inside of the profile, but the way I draw the face is too small I think for that. Some with the right bottom so small I think. So thats why I think I'm going to collage the background.
