I have created this work because I wanted to create a african Piece with colors I never seen those art pieces done with.  I was hoping to create a defined painting of an african woman. I what to achieve a strong look with the three colors I used. I think that my work communicates strength, elegancy and struggle. I think I achieved my outline, but I don't think i achieve the sharpness and definisce that I wanted my painting to have. My current work relates to my previous work because I wanted it to be an african portrait. I usually paint african related pieces.

I think that me and the artist Wang Yuping has more of a connection than a lot of other artist. We both drew pictures of people that was on the realistic side. I believe Wang Yuping has more definition in his work and it's way more realistic but I feel like we connected on the idea levels.

The first thing that I did was sketch out my person that I was going to paint. Then I started to paint my person. I started to do dots but I figured that I was not going to finished. Therefore, I just finished my piece with just paint strokes no dots. Include links if applicable. I seen this painting of a black woman on south street. She was filled with color. I thoughts about that picture and I knew that I could only use three colors for the project. Therefor I made it my own. At the time I did not think to take a picture of the painting but I wish I did. This work I have created shows the hardship, strength and dedication that a black woman has. I believe that the painting reflects on my community in a positive way.My work can influence young artist to step out of their boundaries and try new things. Also my work can influence young black girls to be strong. With my artwork I have created it's important to use a stroking technique so that If you want the brush lines to be defined or soft. It matters to use a specific technique so portray your image.

For this project I tried to do pointillism but I did not complete that task. I learned that pointillism is very time consuming and you need specific paint brushes for the sizes you want your dots to come out in.

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.

Artist Statement

As an oncoming artist, I like to express my emotions in many different ways. It could be expressed physically, emotionally, and mental. But, my favorite way to express my feelings are through the work of art. For my final project in quarter 1 I’ve decided to create a painting of a galaxy. When I think of a galaxy I feel my body go motionless as if I was floating in the stars and threw the planets atmosphere. When I was painting I used acrylic paints in various colors. If you look at photos of the galaxy you could see many different extraordinary colors. So again as a upcoming artist I had to find out how to blend my colors in with each other to make them look real. I also had to learn how to actually use acrylic paints. My painting represents the universe. In the painting to me what stands out the most is the colors. Without the color you would be dull and there would be nothing to look forward too. With color your eyes winded with hope and your mind would change in hope to see the future.  

Abstract

Hello, This is Tiffany Irick . Today, I will be providing you full audio by Myself interviewing Rite Brunton. This Audio is for a 4th quarter project Oral History. The question asked are to be answered by the interviewee to re-cap on any memories about the civil rights movement times. I had interview Rita in Her home. We figured it would be best. As our interviewee answers these questions she thinks about the things the african americans had to go through. Hope you enjoy the audio for the Oral history Project. She talked about the things that went on in her life as a young girl. She provided bits of information that she remembered.

Research-

My interviewee had said a couple of this that caught my eyes. One things she had said went something like this “ ….we played baseball with hispanics.” At that moment I looked back and wanted to research things about hispanics being around or in company with the blacks. So on the http://www.tolerance.org/latino-civil-rights-timeline link 1953 During "Operation Wetback" from 1953 and 1958, the U.S. Immigration Service arrests and deports more than 3.8 million Latin Americans. Many U.S. citizens are deported unfairly, including political activist Luisa Moreno and other community leaders.

1954 Hernandez v. Texas is the first post-WWII Latino civil rights case heard and decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. The Hernandez decision strikes down discrimination based on class and ethnic distinctions.

I found out that In the civil rights movement there wasn't just black people involved, there were other races like the latios involved trying to get freedom. There are two happenings dated in the link .
