For this project we were given a sheet of paper with information about an unknown person's likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses. I had zero clue what to do for a good 5 days before I started this painting. I mostly brainstormed and sketched, but nothing I came up with was something I felt like I'd be proud of. I went back to the original sheet and wrote down a bunch of adjectives that came to mind when I read the person's interests. They struck me as someone very kind, happy, confident, and approachable. I tried to portray this in my artwork. The person also had a lot of interests that struck me as very colorful and vibrant, such as art, music, culture and imagination. This all gave me an idea to paint a stylized portrait of a woman who was colorful, happy and confident. I am definitely more pleased with this piece than I would've been with a collage, which was my first idea. It was really nice to paint something more freeform and abstract, instead of something realistic.

A Lil InfoThis is all of my art from Art Three, which I took second semester of my second year of high school. In this class I had the most laid back art teacher I've ever had before, and I really took that opportunity to explore different styles, subjects, and mediums. When my teacher moved mid-semester and we got a substitute who has been through art school and worked as an illustrator, it was a really awesome learning experience, and I found myself growing as an artist even more.
