I decided to do fan art. I’ve never done it before and the book that I read didn’t have a picture that would show the most important character. The author gave very little mental pictures of the character besides that she is a robot and alien who thought she was human. I drew this picture based on the picture that I saw in my mind. In my art work as a whole I like to tell stories. Every story has its unique ending and beginning. Depending on the story, if it's happy I tend to use bright colors and if the story is sad or stressful I would use dark colors.

In my art work there is a story. There is a girl named Cinder. She is part alien and part robot, who thinks she’s human. The girl is dirty because of her job, as a mechanic. The job that her step mother made her get so that Cinder could provide for her step sisters and her step mother. To paint my picture I used paint and sharpie markers. I put a lot of time and effort. At first I didn’t think that I could do it but when I got to the end of the painting it doesn’t look to bad.

As an artist, I create art to demonstrate the meaning of self expression and freedom. I hope to achieve the gift of attracting someone to explore that art world, who doesn’t like art. My goal when creating art is to do something out of usual or express creativity. I started off thinking art was just for people who loved to draw, but art is for anyone who loves to create the unexpected like me!

Part of my process before I begin any of my art is to think about what I like and to research any type of art that fits this category. The techniques I utilize is if the art form matches a part of my identity.

My current piece I’ve just created is “Fauvism and Natural Hair.” I created the theme of the piece by taking my love for watching natural hair videos on YouTube and how the art form of fauvism is so colorful. I am attempting to show how beautiful and free spirited women with natural hair all. I used various colors because fauvism is known for being full of vivid colors. I made a woman with natural curly hair on one side of my canvas and straight hair on the other. The colors also showed how fierce women with natural hair are.
