For my project, I decided to work on Cornelia Baltes’s artwork. She is a unique artist and her artwork contains different colors and shapes. For this project, I decided to go out of my comfort zone and do a design that was similar to Cornelia’s. I decided to draw a hand and next to it, it was different stripes. The colors I used was Yellow, Purple, and Black. The reason I picked yellow and purple is because the purple makes the yellow pop and the black was for outline. I started off sketching with a pencil and later when I was done, I use acrylic paint. The colors and shapes with similar to Cornelia’s art. There isn’t anything specific about the hand, I thought it would go together and it did. The one thing I would change about they project is to probably use another bright color.

For my capstone, I decided to do a mural which would help the school hallways look better. This project started as an idea in 9th grade and evolved to be what it is today. My partner and I worked together to create a painted wall with flags and the name of the school on top of it. To create the flags, we sent a survey out to the school to collect information concerning the different countries our students are from. We used all of the information and collaborated with our mentor to decide all of the flags that should be included. I tried to find an interesting way of writing our school name that would also fit the style of our school. Through this, I think I got a better understanding of how diverse our school is. This project took a lot of physical work and even more planning but the final product is worth it.

    My final project for high school is a mural. This mural is very creative and lights up the hallway. My partner and I decided to work on a mural, we started with 5 mini walls we would do but then decided to do one wall that represents everything. The wall contains flags of the students that go to Science Leadership Academy @ Beeber and the name of the school. We wanted to include the students and their opinions, we started off with surveys for the students which asked for “What country are you from?”. From there we started sketching, my partner and I  had different ideas first but we decided that we should combine everything together. While doing this mural, I have seen many students connect with the flags that we put up, they were excited for their flags to be on the wall. Cyrus and I put a lot of hard work on this project, we both went out of our way to get the supplies we need. This mural is my favorite high school project that I spent days and days working on.

For my quarter 2 project, I wanted to work on a mixed media art. While having many ideas, I knew I wanted it to be based off of Henna, henna is something I am very passionate in and I think the more I do it, the more better I get. Henna is a big aspect to art, henna can be a paste or a design, even though I do both, I wanted to practice more on my drawing designs. I wanted this mixed media project to be something motivational and something to put around the house to show creativity.

For this project, I decided except of doing a canvas that everyone does already, I should do something different. So I chose a wooden board. I painted the whole board Yellow because I wanted something bright. The henna designs were red and green because of the holiday and the quote was black and white. For the wooden board I used acrylic paint, for the red and green henna designs, I used acrylic markers, and lastly for the quote I used black and white watercolor.

The quote in wooden board said “Hold the vision, Trust the Process”. This quote is very meaningful because it talks about holding on to the thought or vision and to just go along with it and this is what I did with this project.

This artwork is different from other work I did because I am only getting better at henna and its a learning process. A new technique I learned was to test out all the products first and go over with a simple draft.

I am very proud that the work came out bright and very neat. Next time I would work on a different concept, to try it out.

For my quarter 3 art project, I wanted to do mixed media. I think media media is very cool and you can also physically feel the art of the canvas. For my mix media project, I wanted to do wings with actual feathers, with a pretty background,  little pendants and a quote. I chose to do this because I wanted it to connect to my grandparents that passed away and I never met them. The quote is in Arabic lettering, and it said “Think of Others”. This quote connects to my grandparents because even though I never met them and barely know them, I still think of them and how they would be.

I did many art works before, but this project is different because I haven’t really did a quote on a canvas. I always thought it was so basic, but on my art work, I put more materials on it. The process of my artwork on confusing. I kept changing my mind about different ideas. First I wanted to do an ombre background but at the end I decided to do a different background. The first thing I did was sketch my idea. Than I started of with my background, I painted it light brown, and than I put late in different places so I can add white. After the paint all dried up, I drew the wings and glued feathers inside the wings. Than I wrote the quote in bold lettering. After most of the work was finished, I added little navy blue pendants.

I would say, these artworks fits with what I made because My feathers were dark also, but yet they are beautiful. The artwork is very detailed like mine. In conclusion, my art work was kind of personal but not so. It’s a pretty art work, and a lot of people might think of something different when they see the art. But in the end of the day “The artist sees what others only catch glimpse of”.

We wanted to do something that is similar to the project choices mixed with something we really like to do.  Our overall vision for the work is to mix and older style of artwork with a newer style of art. Henna is an older cultural art and it is very detailed. Graffiti style lettering is a very new form of art. When you put these two together it creates something new that you rarely see. The message that we are trying to send is that nothing should be stuck in it’s category and trying new combinations can turn out well. We made a unique artwork and that is not seen a lot. Practicing on the henna designs and also the letterings help us a lot. I like working with 3D art and street art and this is mixed with a little of both. Our artwork is similar to  ZADIE XA because the  work is very detailed. First we sketched out where we would do my henna designs and then I started with a little flower into a big henna designs over all the buildings. I make a sketch in my book then I drew it on the canvas. I colored it in with acrylic markers and went over it again with another layer of acrylic paint. Our work shows philadelphia which is the city we live in.  It could make different artists get together and collaborate to make new ideas. Without shading the lettering wouldn’t look the same. The shading makes the letters 3D. It it was all white it would be very hard to read and look very flat and basic. I learned to go back over my paintings with layers of paint which is something I didn’t do before. I hope everyone likes our art work.

Graffiti Lettering by Cyrus Foster

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.

This unit was about expressing ourselves individually & in a group by making a video. It was also about how people can express themselves in different ways with different things in their videos. Our video gave a look into how people with different interests and backgrounds can manage to get along. Our video also showed several ways in which we interacted with each other.

2b. For each video, there had to be a certain topic to it. We had, “Fringed topics.” Since we had a tricky topic to work with, we had a difficult time making the video. We decided that we should just express ourselves in the video. After making the video, we looked at it together and found out that the video would reflect on fringed behavior rather than fringed interests.

2c. As explained in the previous paragraph, our topic was “fringed topics,” but we changed it around to make it fringed behavior. Key points & focuses of this topic were self-expression, honesty & interest in the actual assignment. After having writers block & collaborating, we finally decided to focus on the self-expression part.
