This is my world problem artwork. The idea of this piece was the more modern form of bullying and loneliness which is, isolation. In today's era bullying is not what teen movies portray such as out loud teasing and physical violence. Although those cases still happen, the most common form of bullying is isolation which makes a person feel invisible. More often than not, this isolation happens to those in society's are weird or misfit. This isolation can be a conscious or unconscious decision by others towards a person, but at the end of the day, it can still hurt that person because they feel alone.

This is my color wheel. This was pretty simple to make, and it did help me practice my blending of colors.

This is my practice of learning skin tones. I learned that skin tones are harder to make than I imagined. However, I also learned that skin tones are layers and layers of different hues and that some people of mixtures of hues ranging where on the skin that a person is looking at. For example, a person's neck can be darker than their face or have a more red undertone than their face. I'm still improving on skin tones but, understand it more than before.

This is my piece for National Hispanic Heritage Month. The painting was meant to represent Hispanic culture and appreciation. In drafting the idea of this painting, I researched historical Hispanic paintings and celebrations. Then, I tried to includes these things with my own style of painting. I used a lot of warm hues such as reds, oranges, yellows. I really liked how the painting came out. However, I could improve on the skin tones and the painting of the dog. Also, the wheat before the sunflower could how painted a bit better.

 In the painting, the print is of from the bottom of a converse shoe. The idea of this painting was to take the pattern of an everyday object such as a bottom of a shoe and make it interesting. The color family I used were reds, magentas, and purples. The painting itself didn't come out that great to me, I feel like I have taken more time to blend and make straighter lines. Overall, it's okay.
