My experience creating my portrait was a very interesting and required many steps. The first step that we had to do was print out a picture of someone with the same name as us and is not famous. I found a girl who with light skin and curly hair dark hair. Therefore, I had to use a light and dark value, and the color that I chose was red. The next step that we had to do was grid out our picture. After we gridded out our picture, we had to draw in each box what we saw in the picture. Then, the next step was to paint. Painting was the most difficult part to me because you had to be very careful and make sure that you get all of the values. Creating the portrait in general was a challenge, but I am glad that I received a chance to get that experience. It was very fun, and I enjoyed myself.

The colors that the artist used in this work were orange, blue, and black. In art class, we have been learning about the many of different color schemes and things that you can do with colors. For example, we learned about complementary colors and split complementary colors which is like contrasting colors. The different colors and schemes that we learned were very helpful in creating out portraits. In conclusion, I think that the artist was trying to create a calm mood to just look at the art and admire it.

For this artwork, the sprite element that I thought it touched on was social, political, and economical. This artwork touched on social because it is a family, and it is clear that they are socializing with eachother as a family in the morning time. I say this because usually in the morning is when families read the newspaper. Therefore, this is social. Furthermore, another sprite element that this portrait touched on was political. This is because the newspaper usually has something to do with politics and other news updates. Therefore, political is another sprite element that this portrait touched on. Lastly, this artwork is also economical. I say this because the newspaper is also usually about the economy because we are apart of it. In conclusion, this artwork touched on a few of the sprite elements.

This is an portrait created by an artist named Carrie Mae Weems. I can relate to this artwork because this reminds me of what goes on in my house. When me and my sister were younger, I used to want to be just like her and put make up on and get myself dolled up. Also, now we still do this, but the only difference is that my sister's daughter wants to be like me. Therefore, I can truly relate to this image.

I believe that the message of this is that out community needs someone to take action and clean up the mess that is constantly being created. Therefore, Banksy obviously created this artwork to get a message across to many. I chose this artwork because I completely agree with Banksy and how he see things.

  The artwork that I found that interests me is "If, then," found by Alexa. This artwork interests me because it applies to a personal situation with me and another individual. That certain individual says that they love me but doesn't show it because we haven't talked in forever ! Therefore when I saw the little note, it caught my attention because I can relate to it. This is a very true thing.

My nonstalgia object is bananas in pajamas. This is one of my most fondest memories. I received this object when I was just a little girl and have loved it ever since. My mom had put it up for a little while, but just last week, she brought it back out. Her bringing it back to my attention, instantly gave me many memories of when I was a child. I really love bananas in pajamas!
