My artwork is simple but very fancy. I wanted to take something simple and make it look very nice. My art is just a flower but I have added some dots and circles in the back front on my art work, I also added black fades strips inside the flower. At first I didn’t really like my art, it was just the flower and it looked basic, but then I decided to add the black strips to make it look better. I think it all came together, It was very colorful.

I want my audience to see the details in my art, the colors, the dots and the different patterns. I use to work with a lot of patterns and do henna designs which had to do with different items. I worked with different type of flowers also. My designs fit with art practice because at first I started off with a basic flower and then I added every design I thought off and included it to my flower to make it look good.

I created an art wheel out of a dancer’s outfit. When I first had seen this idea it automatically made me think about my childhood as a dancer. Instantly I had a flashback on how colorful and bright our outfits were on that stage. There was not a better choice selection for me then to do this dancer. Overall, I had a lot of fun creating the vision and actually creating the work. I think my visual display of the color wheel came out very nice and the time and effort is very well shown as well. Most people should give a positive feedback. I have gotten positive feedback and people’s feedback during the process of the art work.

I like abstract art and lines/curves are very easy to work with but can be very elaborate if done right. I wanted to paint a sequence that blends itself into the other colors over time, I did this so the audience can see how subtle and then extreme the transitions of colors can be. I didn’t expect any particular reaction based upon the vision I went with but I expect people to just say their honest opinion of it as they have up until now. This piece has my signature wavy look to it which reminds me of many of my past works.

I always tend to go more in the abstract direction because I like the style more than realism and the end result is more of my liking. This relates to the fairly recent artists that have moved away from the realism approach that was originally established, leaving us at a time of preference. My personal preference is of course abstract which is displayed in my pieces and it fits into the more obscure art styles that have arose lately. Although I like abstract art a lot my inspiration was just the idea of abstract as a whole, no specific works were drawn from.

I always liked the art that leaves you thinking without much to go on so I wanted to recreate that. I learned through this project that easing up on my brush leaves more control even though the entire process goes a little slower sometimes as a result. All of the paint has to be done going in the same direction so that colors do not clash or mess up how the colors look on the canvas, so it took long compared to how quickly I usually finish a piece.

Basically this piece was just my abstract take on the color wheel. It took me awhile to get everything aligned right, but I’m proud of the end result.

I created this work because I wanted to make a spider web for the color wheel aspect of the project, but as I looked I saw others had the same idea. Instead, I made something similar, but it’s like a web/wheel instead of a full web. My vision for the work was for it to have multiple wheels that had the primary, secondary, tertiary, and tint each in their own wheel. Also, I wanted it to be very straight and proportional , like I wanted the colors match for each wheel. For anyone who sees the project, I want them to look at it and not see the mistakes right away, but admire what it is and what it could be.

I haven’t really made any art in my life because I don’t consider myself an artist, but I can relate this to my artwork back in 9th grade. In 9th grade, I drew a shoe which was based off of the shoe I was wearing at the moment. Although the art piece lacked color, it reflects how I draw and in this color wheel project there have been improvements in my art and creativity. In today’s art, there are similar aspects where the tertiary, primary, and secondary colors are used and it is similar to how it is used in my project. The color wheel also gives the basic for color art in general. Art is created with different and various colors throughout the years, so the color wheel brings out that history of the basics in color art. This aspect reminds me of the value scale I did in 9th grade, with the different shades of black and it gets lighter the farther you to the point of white. That project was the first thing that came to mind when I thought of the color wheel. This link was my influence for the project, but I don’t have a specific artist that influences me today.

http://www.jalapenopaintwerx.com/blog/bid/209865/Paint-Color-Ideas-for-the-Home-Jalapeno-Paint-Werx The technique I used to make sure the wheel had 24 places was I added the tint before the primary color of that tertiary. So, if I had a red-orange space on the wheel then the next space above would be half tint and half primary color which was red used to make the tertiary.

In all, the project was one of my best pieces of art that I created. Although I wasn’t able to make my vision into a reality, I believe my project draws from my own idea of a color wheel that looks unique and different from any other. I don’t consider myself an artist in terms of drawing, but there isn’t a such thing as great art given that there are so many interpretations of a good art piece. I made my color wheel knowing this aspect of there is no good art, I was able to freely paint.

I chose to create my work because I wanted to be different from a lot of other people. I seen lots of eyes for the color wheel and that was exactly what I didn't want to do. I choose something that was “loud” to me. My painting was of a man who was screaming. Hile scream he was blowing out colorful bubbles. I want to something I spoke to everyone and I just spoke quietly  but spoke loudly. I expect to get nice reactions from our My audience saying if it was different. My current work relates to my previous work because I like to switch it up. It is very colorful and it speaks loud.  I believe all my previous work was  very colorful and it spoke out loudly.  my work has never been boring. The word fits in with the current contemporary or because people are still  painting now.  this is Art that's been and still is being created. My work fits in with the history of art practice by painting. The oldest painting known to man is about  40000 years ago. People are  painting. My work fits into the group exhibition or series of projects I have done by color choice. my work has color pop in common.  my work varies with different shades of color.  Leonid Afremov is one artist that I look up to when I think about color. His work is so bright and vibrant. It is almost like you can see every color in the world. My work can lead to a portfolio of color. I can create more work or painting that express a story with colors. To make my work vibrate i  had to go over my colors more than once. I used that technique so my colors would pop out and stand out more. I haven't learned anything new this quarter by doing this project.  During this quarter  created a color wheel that was different from the others. A color wheel that spoke loudly and clear. I believe if any my work was more loud like this color wheel I can really have a nice and bright collection. This quarter I have realized that color can bring a painting more to life than ever.

I created my project using Wix. We were supposed to design a website with 4 pages. My goal for this project was to meet all the requirements but make the website easy to look through. From my own experience on the internet I know that I hate seeing pages filled with words. It’s very unattractive and makes me not want to read. Throughout this project I kept that in mind. To make this a little easier the project was completed using checkpoints. With checkpoints no pages are rushed and you have about the same amount of time to finish each page. When I first started I was going to use weebly. Weebly didn’t allow me to make everything I wanted the way I wanted it to be. After that I moved over to Wix and I liked it a lot. I learned through this project that it takes many errors to get your final product because i’m the type of person who likes to do everything 1 time and 1 time only. If I were to do this again I would know to use wix which would save a lot of time I wasted trying to find a site to use. I think i’m going to continue editing and updating this site as I work on my resume.

My overall vision for this assignment was to create something colorful and pretty. I expect

that my audience will like how visually appealing and creative my color wheel is. I think they will react in a positive way. I did a colorwheel last year. The one I did this year I felt that it wasn’t an improvement from last year. I was rushing this one and didn’t really put a lot of effort into it than my previous one.  

It fit with the current contemporary art because the art nowadays is always so creative

and appealing and I think my color wheel has those same qualities. My art fits in with the history of art practice because a lot of art I saw in my lifetime was multimedia art and I think my art is that to because I used sharpies paint coloring pencils and markers. My work fits in with the series of projects I have done because they were all creative and colorful. My artwork relates to other artist because artist try to create something that is eye catching and I think I was trying to do that with my color wheel. A new technique that I learned is easily get your design on the board and you can do this by using the blue tracing paper.

In this project I felt that artwork is  colorful and pretty. Also I think it is visually appealing

Think Before You post: Story of Amanda Todd

Amanda was on a meeting new people webcam website, and she was on there she met this guy. This guy convinced Amanda to pull her chest out on the webcam, and i'm guess he screenshotted it. The guy  kept making profiles on facebook that technically kept showing her chest and having everybody see it when every time she switched to a new school he would go under cover and make a new profile and add her as a friend. Then she put a video on youtube talking saying how she was getting bullied and blackmailed.  A little after a month after posting the video, Amanda hung herself in her home.

• Immediacy- the way that immediacy plays into this  story is she just showed her chest to the guy that she didn’t know. Amanda knows she shouldn't had did it, but she did it anyways impulsively. Amanda  just did it because he was pressuring her to do, so she just hurried and did it.

• Permanence- the way that this story shows permanence is when she posted the video which is was 4 years ago, and even though she died it’s still up there. That shows how if you put something on the internet it’s going to be permanent.

• Lack Of Control- When Amanda showed the man her chest he probably screenshotted it, and Amanda had no control over where that picture went even though she didn’t know it was up there. Amanda still had no control over it when she died  and that's just a perfect example of lack of control she had no control over who had the picture or even where that picture went.  

The effects of this situation with Amanda is that she showed her chest to a stranger on a webcam, and ended up getting bullied for showing her chest. My advice would just be Amanda should've never gotten on that website if she never would've got on the website with strangers then none of this would've never happened. My point is think before you just do something impulsively.

Here is the story and video of Amanda Todd: https://nobullying.com/six-unforgettable-cyber-bullying-cases/ AND https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gycqAJcDFM

Michael Brutsch is a 49 year old man who worked in Reddit, and went by the username of “violentacrez” . In 2008, Michael made the “jail bait”. The “jail bait” was a place where Michael put images of 14-year olds in bikinis. Although this was a big thing in the web, this wasn’t the worst that michael did. Later in his career, He made a subeditor called “creep shots”. "Creep shots" is a post in Reddit where people posted pictures of women in public, without telling or asking them for permission. All of Michael’s Negative blogs, plus his racist comments got him fired from Reddit, and gave him his nickname, “Troll of the web”. Now michael is 57 years old, and still holds the nickname “troll of the web”.

How does Immediacy, Lack of control, and Permanence play a role in Michael's life ?

In this article, it’s a story about a girl in the 7th grade who was name Amanda Todd, who commit suicide from being blackmailed from a 36 year old dutch man. She was in a webcam watch by random strangers and she decided to flash to the webcam. An account name “Tyler Boo” decided to screenshot her flashing to the webcam. Tyler boo started to threatened her saying that if she doesn’t send him more pictures of her, he will expose those pictures to every person she knows and everyone in the world would see it.  Amanda refused to send him more pictures of her, so Tyler boo uploaded the pictures on a porn website and send the link to every Facebook friend she had. The next day when Amanda went to school she was know as the “girl in the picture”. She was slut shame and embarrassed. It was leading her to depression and anxiety. Later on Tyler boo went on and made a new fake Facebook page calling himself Austin Collins and connected to all of her new friends from her new school to make it seem like he went to Amanda’s school, the profile picture was of her flashing. She thought of an idea so she grab a black marker and white paper and made a video of her explaining her story on the paper and then posted it on YouTube, The whole world saw the video. On October 10th Amanda decided to take her life away in her mother’s house alone.

Immediacy: The lack of threats she got from the blackmailer cause her to have depression and suicide

Permanence: Well the pictures that Tyler boo had of Amanda he posted them everywhere and now the whole world can see them until today

Lack of Control: it led to the point where Amanda had no one to talk to so she took away her life since she was getting threat's by the same person.

If I would to give advice to Amanda and everyone else is to speak up and report it! Don’t take your life away, there are other solutions that can be handled in a different way.

For my project, I had to create make an online portfolio of my work and my résumé. When completing this project, I had to first think of a theme for my website. Once that was done, I was able to finish my About me page and soon the Résumé and Featured Projects came into onto the website and I got everything done really quick.I had to change the background multiple times for copyright reasons. Soon, I changed this into an image that I have taken instead of finding one through search engines.I learned how to navigate well through the website maker in an efficient time. I learned that I really like an artistic type style for myself and it reflected through my website.

I would probably do a different theme and play around with the controls, along with the other things that I can possibly do with the website provider I used. The reason why is because I would be able to create something better than what I have with more experience. I would tell other people to play around more with the different things available on the eix website because this was something that I simply didn’t do. I don’t believe that I was inspired quite much for this project, but I know that with this project, it made me wanting to express myself even more than I do now. All pictures and images were personally taken from myself for this website I have created. I believe my message on the homepage has really dictated the mediums for my website because I didn’t think much for the mediums until I figured out my message.

I have created the color wheel because I felt that it would be easier for me to just do a regular circle but I wish that I was more creative in adding stuff to my circle to show some creativity in my project. My vision was to show that I can use tertiary colors, primary colors, and secondary colors for a color wheel. My main vision was to show that I can be very creative in a art project. Which is something I will bring to Quarter 2 project. I expect my audience to know that I at least tried to be very creative in my project and worked hard on it. I think they will say that my project is very nice and she worked hard on getting the right colors. My current work relates to my previous work because I’ve used different colors before to show my creativity.

My work fits in the creativity of current contemporary art. My work fits in with the history of art practice because in this time I am still learning how to do different art styles and how to paint. My work fits into a series of projects I have done because most of them involved being creative and for this project you could be very creative in what you do. How artists use colors to make a nice piece of art influences my images. I have been influenced by Vincent van Gogh because of the creativity he had put into his artworks. I have also been influenced by Pablo Picasso also because of his work. A certain technique is important to the work because it helps you get the right color you need to make your work. My technique is to make sure I mix the right amount of colors to create another color. This technique is important to the work because it is easier to get the right color also so that you don’t add too much of a color. This is also a technique I have learned in the process of making this work.

In conclusion, my piece was overall a good project but sometimes difficult to do because it was difficult getting the right color for tertiary colors and mixing them with white and getting the right color for that. But at the end I still tried my best. My artwork shows the hard work I put in to create it and how I used the colors to express the meaning of my piece.

When thinking about doing this project I decided to make my color wheel out of a spider web because, I really like the design of the spider web. I also didn’t want to do a basic color wheel because other people were doing it.  My overall vision was to create a huge spider web with different sections to show the color wheel.  I expect my audience to see the difference between the tints and original colors. My current work relates to this color wheel project because in middle school I had did something similar to the color wheel. The only thing that was different about it was  that the paper we had to color had numbers on it that corresponding with the color.I think my work relates a little bit to contemporary art because when I looked up what it was I saw how the artwork was colorful and eye catching.

The art piece I chose to do was a color wheel of a eye with a certain background. I chose this piece because I thought that it would be interesting art piece and I wanted to see the outcome of it. When I finished the art piece I was very satisfied with the results I did not expect the piece to come out the way it did. Even though there was a number of people who chose to do an eye I still think mine was good to I did not really pay attention to anyone else's. I have always went all and out with my artwork on previous project but I do not think that I did that for this project but I will be sure to do that on the next one.

During the process of making this piece I had a few difficulties such as mixing the colors and how dark or light the colors would come out. I think that in the past there has been a lot of color wheel art that have become famous. This projects is not really similar to any other projects I have done in the past but it did come out good like other projects I have done in the past. The important techniques I used were time management, patience, and hard work. If I were to do this project again I would make sure that the colors are mixed well and make sure that before I start I have all of the materials I need to begin.
