This unit was all about overcoming obstacles, and not letting limitations stop our art. If you asked me a few weeks ago if I would ever consider making art without my hands, I would have said something like "why would I do that?" However, as this unit progressed, I learned that you can make some really cool artwork when you are limited. For example, I was part of a group project where we could not touch the canvas. We decided to splatter, which doesn't seem like it would be hard, but it was. So we went to the arting patio with paint & canvas in hand, and started splattering. The final product was very pleasing. Our sunset turned out really nice, and we hadn't even touched the canvas.I love how the colors blended together and how the black mountains contrast the sunset. When we were making this, we actually ran into an unexpected obstacle: we were out of black paint! I had to mix red, blue, and yellow (primary colors) to make my own black paint. It was actually really cool to see the colors change to black.

The BEGINNING.Here it is. The deepest, darkest depths of my high school art career. This was before I had any clue what I was doing, and marks the beginning of my journey as an artist. As a fun game, feel free to look through and then go back to my most recent art. You know, to see development and all of that. Enjoy the very beginning of my art education. Archives
