Social Justice Portrait

For the past two weeks I have been working on my social justice portrait. I decided this week I was going to focused on using my talents and frustrations and put all my emotions into my art, and that is exactly what I did. I had to find the right image describing how I felt after having an eventful week this image stood out the most to me. I took its originality and made my own ideas regarding it. It took so much time and patience to complete this but it was well worth it. What well this week is even though I did not have all the materials to complete this portrait instead of giving up on it I was able to compromise other ways that i might complete it. One part of the project that I found a struggle was trying to color and outline the hair because I have to make sure that I done color over the written names which took longer to do so. Also, my black marker was a really thin sharpie so that was as will slowing the process of finishing the portrait, it was exhausting coloring the hair itself took about two days to do.I did really well in this class for this week, because I took something I was strongly passionate about and took my time seriously and created a very powerful piece. When analyzing the finishing product with not words or explanation attached to it you are able to see that this portrait tells and shows so much untold stories.

Haunted house

The annual haunted house hosted by room 13 every year was a success,  as a room 13 student I had taken part of the haunted house. Each student whether it was in pair or individually was assigned a room, and our job was to come up with a theme that scares people. Also the annual theme for the whole haunted house was face your fears and my room consisted of a doctors office where as a lot of people are terrified of needles including myself. As people scattered through each room our goal was to make sure that they left terrified. What really went well about this project week was the amount of team work me and my classmates made. We kept the disagreements to a minimum and just compromise and gather our different ideas of ways we thought of scaring people, that way everyones idea was heard and taken into consideration since more than one group came through we rotated each others ideas. Also, due to the three of us being in different class periods we took turn finishing the room with no co

Black Girl Magic

Image
This week I traced a very important picture about a African goddess, the power of black do not crack. I traced it from the computer and then switch a few things that was from the original picture into my own creativity. This week Project I used a white paper, and a pencil and I scribbled so that when I traced over the picture it would be easier to erase the extra lines that was once placed. What was difficult about this project week was trying to determine if I wanted it to be color coated or just leave it in black and white and make it look like an elegant sketch. I think I could have done better this project week, and putting a better effort then I did. I was a little lazy with this weeks project which caused it to be incomplete.

Illustration

This week I had challenged myself by hand drawing instead of tracing an image I fully drew it out. With having so much doubts I had forgotten How good I was at drawing from previous years. So I Looked up on youtube on how to draw facial parts. Then, it all started coming together and I found myself perfecting it even while watching how to illustrate it. Took me about two hours to create but I can say it was worth is because it came out so good. What went well about this weeks project was how easy and how enjoyable I forgot it was to draw anything. For the rest of the week I actually hand made several drawings after finding interest in it again. Parts of the project that I found a bit difficult was  drawing the eyes I was trying to make sure they were equally apart from each other and that they were not too far apart. I did well during his project week, everything went and, exactly how I wanted it to. I actually did not stuggle to draw that at all what so ever. I actually was to
