For this project we were tasked with finding toys from our childhood and using them to create a piece of art. In this drawing I have the brown bunny I use to play with, a yellow construction hate my dad gave me for going on job sites, a '03 hat that I wore when I was little, an etch-a-sketch, a yoyo, and some marbles. I colored all of these items as their original colors but chose to color the background with greens and blues that remind me of being little again. This was done with color pencils and a white gel pen for highlights.

For this piece we had to create something related to COVID-19. I chose to do mine in a comic book style because I think that it kind of tells how surreal everything felt when it all happened. It also allowed my to tell more of a story than just a single snapshot into what was happening. I drew a lot of my ideas from what I remember seeing and hearing and also from the typical layout and style of comic books. This was done with watercolor, watercolor markers, markers, and a white gel pen for highlights.
I have always admired Georgia O'Keeffe's work and had the chance to us that for this homage project. This is a collage of magazine clippings put together to make an homage to O'Keeffe's The White Flower. First time trying to collage but it was fun and very time consuming to find the right colors and to place all of the tiny pieces.
For a while I have wanted to do a project with the statue of David and I saw this project as my opportunity. We had to take something that was old and modernize it. The statue of David is pretty old so I decided to modernize him in almost a vapor-wave style kind of way. This was done in acrylic on a canvas.
For this assignment we were tasked with using our art to make a statement. Sometimes people are told to just sit down and shut up when they are discussing important topics so we took the idea of being told to sit down and made the chairs a symbol of this. In my project, I tackled climate change and global warming. I printed off papers with text on them, tore the edges around the print, and burned the edges. I then glued the pieces of burnt paper onto a board and drew chairs over it. After that was done, I traced around the print to make it more noticeable, almost like even though the chairs are in the way the print is still making its way through.
In class we were given a list of objects that we had to have in our composition and that was it for this project. I arranged mine as so and it is meant to be a game of chess in space. I did this project with watercolor markers, graphite, color pencils, a bit of charcoal, and a white gel pen.
