In my art project, I did a self portrait of myself where I had to show a little bit about my cutlure also. My face is black and white, but everything else is colored. My lips should be the first thing that people notice when they look at my work of art, they are painted red. The details on my lips make them actually look like my actual lips. I'm wearing a green button up that has these oval-ish shapes. In the background, I drew a Nicaraguan flag and the little triangle that has moutains that represent the countrys in Central America. At the top of my painting, I wrote " Nicaragian Pride" so that people would know which country I'm from. My red lips should really stand out before anything in my drawing. In my painting I did not use any repeating colors, it was all diffrent. I used alot of textures and shading in my painting. The shading was used to make my shirt pop out and look real, the same goes for my hair and lips. The elements used in this painting is blended shading and hue. these elements work together because the blended shading really made this work of art pop and look more realistic. The hue was created by all the diffrent colors that I chose, none of them were repeated so it gave my project a rainbow type of look. the hue was helpful, it really made my project look less boring to look at. In this painting theres alot of warm colors, I chose them so it could look kind of fun and happy. The idea of this project was to show people what my culture is. This should mean that I am Nicaguarian, and have pride from where I come from. That's why I put at the top of my work " Nicaragian pride ", so that people will read it and automatically know that I am proud of where i come from. The way I feel about my artwork is great, but I feel like i would of felt better about it if I would of added more stuff from my culture. I feel like it's missing a few pieces.

    Also, if you look very closely at the painting, you can see some brush strokes that the painter made. I like that because the viewer can see how thick the paint is and how you move onto the canvas. Lastly, I like how there is light around the top of the painting. I love how the artist used different colors and shades. This art piece goes very well in my family's dining room, in my opinion.…

    In my artwork, I created a batik landscape of Ireland, with the house on the cliff supposed to be a house similar to one on my way to church. When creating this piece, I used a piece of silk, and then dyed it with various colors, ranging from brown to green. I believe this shows the theme, as I have been to Ireland, and I have multiple connections to it, as many ancestors of mine were Irish. Also, the house in the artwork was one that I see every time I go to church. I felt the house had an older and more traditional look to it, as it was covered with dead plants, and slightly broken in. I combined both memories, and created this piece. I believe this item connects with the artist Faith Ringold, as we both used mixed media to represent something…

    The mural painted by an artist shows a Hispanic man who’s going to war with other Hispanic men a few feet above him on horses. The man holds a weapon and a flag which resembles his country. His expression is nowhere near fear instead it’s courage and commitment on what he’s going to do. There’s a title stating “La Revolucion Mexicana” that translates to The Mexican Revolution that happened in Mexico. Then a phrase “I rather die on my feet than live on my knees” is a metaphor of what the man in the painting had to say. In relations to an image, this painting signifies a protest from the Hispanic…

    My preliminary plan was simply to build up the colors to a deep, crimson hue, and let that be the focal point of the piece, but it became increasingly difficult to produce a concentrated color that would have the necessary consistency. The paint would fly off in chunks rather than a spatter. The “happy accident” came when I attempted to scrape off these dried chunks, and discovered the resulting resemblance to bullet holes. It was unintentional, but now prevails as the focal point of the piece.…

    The painting includes figures who would have been expected by viewers to be slaves which are painted as the darker skinned men and women dancings with others of higher social status who might be free women of color which are the womens who are painted as the lighter–skinned women wearing more European-style costumes. The clothing’s style painted also show the combined European and African elements with turbans and headwraps in combination with corsets and shirts, and all the figures barefoot.

    Sharing your heritage to the world is a great thing because other people can learn from it and won’t be afraid to share their own. The reading Fish Cheeks, is a positive story because Amy Tan shared her own experience on how one day she thought differently about her own family’s culture. The story made me think about my own culture because I’m proud to come from a Hispanic Heritage and not feel ashamed of where we come from. It also made me feel upset because there are people that dislike their own heritage because they want to act like others and want to fit in. Of course, there are so many people that would judge you regardless, but that should not change your background.…

    Over the past semester, I can strongly say that I have grown immensely as an artist. I have been able to widen my range of skills as well as increase them overall. One of my best works, as well as one of my favorites is my Expressionist painting. Ih results in a nspired by one of my best friends, Eleanor, my painting displays a variety of Expressionist principles. Expressionism is based on the distortion of form and color, which often results in a wide array of expressed emotions. By creating colors that blended well and by using smooth brush strokes, I am able to create unity within my painting, which in my opinion makes it one of my successful works. Coming from a person who normally avoids painting and also…

    I am proud of the artifact that I had created because I had used my creativity to create my a. I chose not to trace an image, but to instead draw it with my own hands. I had also had put my full effort into this articulate. That is why I am proud of this piece I made. This piece was a challenge for me because I am horrible at drawing. I had to take my time dawning over and over again to get the right picture drawn properly. That was a challenge for me, but in the end the artwork look came out .

    However, it was blissful to see how the painter was guiding the people in every step of the painting. Yet, the outcome from every person was different; you could sense their personalities in the colors that each of them used. For example, one person used darker colors in the landscape. It could indicate that it was sunset, and added a table in the sand with two glasses; it portrays that she is more of a romantic person, while other people used brighter colors to highlight nature. When I started choosing my colors for my giraffe porcelain, I struggled in choosing a yellow color for the body, because there were about 5 different yellows. However, my brother, a 9 year old boy, told me to choose the one I liked the most and not to worry. It made me laughed at that moment, but made me realized that it was not about perfectionism, but to have fun and create my own giraffe. In other words, when a painter does their masterpiece, they do not choose according to what people or society tells you it the correct color to use! It is about creating your own colors that identifies you. As I observed around me, there were 3 people painting the same porcelain as me; but every giraffe was unique, one had a brighter yellow, another one had black spots, or blue…

    The art element that is the most important would be value. I say value because the clothes the boy has on are very dark, the background is dark. Maybe the artist is painting the boy in the dark value to show something frightening, or scary might happen. The art principle that is most important is emphasis. I say this because the artist clearly wants the boy to be the main focus in the painting, since he is the biggest item, he is positioned in the center, and he is Caucasian with the dark background.…

    Another component of Rembrandt's paintings that I applied onto my sculpture was the eyes. He painted the eyes sharply, they were bright and popped off the canvas as one of the first things you saw. Infact, he often made dark, subtle backgrounds so the viewer would be drawn into the face and the eyes he created along with the dark backgrounds caught the viewer's gaze. I created my eyes very brightly and soft to convey a Rembrandt look.…
