My piece was inspired by the children's books that I read with my son. I wanted to create something that felt whimsical and imaginative. 

I chose the location I did because I wanted it to look as though the insect was lounging in  a corner and I wanted it to be near my room. 

I have been paying attention to the different styles of illustration in children's books and have really been thinking about how under-appreciated some children's book art is. I also thought about how an image can transport the viewer and also pique a viewer's interest in finding out more of the story. I like to imagine that there is a story being told in my drawing.

I am now paying attention to the varied styles of street art and I think more about the purpose behind the art that I see and the characters that artists create, similar to how children's book illustrators have to think about the characters that they are illustrating.

What is the meaning of the work you created?

The title of our artwork is “Different Stages”. It means that everyone is different and everyone is developing in different ways and at their own pace.

What inspired your work?

Friendship inspired our art work, for a long time we have been trying to see how we can all be the same until we realized that we are all at different stages and we came to a conclusion that we are all at different stages and we will soon grow into our full potential. So we all agreed to draw the a flower growing through its different stages until it was full grown 

Why did you choose the location you chose?

We chose our location because it was an area that was empty with a blue background and it made the image pop more. 

How did this project change your perception of Art?

This project made us  realized that we can use our lives as inspiration for our artwork Also,.In the beginning, we didn’t think art really had a deep meaning. But now since we experience the critical thought process we understand that art has a bigger purpose than to just be seen. 

How did this project change your perception of Art you see as you travel around the city?

The project changed our perception of the way we viewed art as we traveled because it wasn’t just patterns and bold colors it was more of a statement trying to be perceived.

Our work is displayed on the right side of the third floor on the blue wall across from the windows. We chose this location because it was an area that was empty, which meant the viewer's attention will be focused on our work.The  blue background made the image pop more also.

Before this project, we didn't think very deeply about art. In the beginning, we didn’t think art really had a deep meaning. But now since we experience the critical thought process we understand that art has a bigger purpose than to just be seen. We also learned that we can use our lives as inspiration for our artwork. The way we viewed street art change as well, we no longer just see patterns and bold colors it is now more of a statement trying to be perceived that was carefully thought out and planned.

​The meaning of my art piece is that anything can be art.

There's really no meaning of the art I created 

My art is inspired by the people who like doodle drawing.

I chose the location I did because I think it fit in with the other art that's on the wall

This project change my perception of art because I didn't now anything can be art.

This project really didn't change my perception of art I see while I travel around the city.

The meaning of this art work that I have created is to love your natural hair and have confidence in your appearance no matter what race you are. I have always been natural, I never had a perm/relaxer but I never really like the texture of my hair. I had a hair type of 4c and it was very hard to handle so I started putting certain treatments in my hair to make it 4a/3c. This change made me have more confidence in wearing my hair in its natural state. This is what inspired me to draw my piece of art. I put my art in from of my advisory. I chose this location because I wanted the people that I will be going through high school with, to see something that represents who I am and understand me more. This project made me realize that most art have deeper meanings behind it that some people wont understand. When I travel around the city and I see street art I don't usually think about why the person drew what they drew and I just see the big picture and I don't get a deeper meaning of the art. Now that I have done this project and I understand art better I will try to analyze what the art means and the purpose of the art.

My H.O.P.E. Sign

Posted by Eva Litke in ART 9 - Hertz - a1 on

​I created a sign colored in the basic colors of the rainbow (roygbiv)  with the phrase "Hold On Pain Ends" leading across and down the square paper. The meaning of my piece is that even when times are hard and life seems stressful and hopeless, there is always hope around you somewhere. Then, when you dig deeper into the meaning of "hope," you find the idea/theme of the word (can be) hold on, pain ends, and that there is a light in your future, so don't give up. I included the rainbow background behind the phrase because in my opinion, rainbow's can represent opportunities and happiness that can appear in many forms, hence the multi colored patch. This ties together to show that hope is always around, and pops up in many different forms.


I am extremely into music, and I am always writing new song lyrics for myself. About a year ago, I decided to look up "life quotes" on google images to find inspiration for myself for a new song. That was when I came across a picture with the phrase "Hold On Pain Ends" and I immediately wrote it down because I thought it was genius! When Ms. Hertz explained to us what we were going to do for this mini project, I thought about the quote, and made the connection very suddenly to rainbows.

I chose to put my drawing/piece on the wall next to the door to the school store. I chose this location because I know that many students come by that area every day for the school store, as well as just to hang out, so I could be sure that my art would be seen by many.

I have realized that art doesn't have to be a drawing, it can be a phrase, or even a word, that has lots of meaning behind it.

There is much more art around Center City than I really realize.

The meaning of my piece is that life and death are fragile like glass. Life is represented by the glass, and when it breaks it reveals the skeleton which represents death.

I was inspired by the way people think of death. I think people get too upset over it because they are scared of not knowing what really happens after you die.

I chose my location because I see it every day while at my locker, so that I can check up on it.

This project made me feel like it's something I can actually do.

This project didn't change my perception about it because I had already been obsessed with street art and graffiti
