Black girl magic

Image
This week I wanted to do something nice but also add my own imagination to it as well. I had traced a really cool picture which was a pick and the top of the pick was a black girl afro, the pick was representing the cultural use of it. I then painted different colors on a plain board to use as a background so when i complete the picture I will then glue onto the board for more creativity. What went well about this project activity this week was that is was not as difficult to complete and it holds so much meaning. Each day that I was finishing the project I came up with more creative ideas on what to do. Part of the project that was a struggle for me is trying to cut the online of the picture to put on the board, I just have to be really careful that I don't over cut the picture. I did pretty good this class period, I was able to use the internet as inspiration to my next creative project. I had not as well complain at all this week, I enjoyed the progress I ma...

Social Justice Portrait

Image
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 ...

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 n...

My goal for this week was to figure out what I wanted to be which required me to do some research since I am paired up with two other people . What went really well about this project is that I discovered some creative ways in being a nurse zombie and add more affects to t...

I had looked or research the best picture that I would like to draw that looked elegant and out of all this one stood out the most to me . After doing it with pencil I traced over it with a black sharpie . The ou...

Halloween Makeup

Image
I have been working on special effects makeup , I have as well done much research on how to do so for an upcoming haunted house event my school will be hosting for students interested in participating . I looked up materials that are used to create such make up looks and to make it as realistic as possible . It is easier than it actually looks when you are as passionate as I am this is just another adventure in my makeup journey . Something that went really well with this project was the knowledge I contained after watching tutorials . Which then mad me realize how interesting stage makeup really is , it's entertaining and fun as well to try to do . I did not really have any struggles because I found it really easy to learn all I needed are the materials to start completing some of the looks I have researched about . But it may be a bit difficult to watch how to do it and not being able to have the tools to practice being so eager to start as soon as possible . I did very we...
