I am me, myself, and I.



I think that my art project was not to the best of my abilities...i feel that because i basically gave up on the project it didn't really reflect me as much as i wanted to. I just think that since i spent to much time on little details i didn't get to the point where i can show myself.

Artist-in-Residence: alexander DeMaria


i like this piece because it is really cool how he can cut up paper and arrange it into a beautiful piece of art. i am really not sure what is going on in the picture but i think it is people going to attack each other and then they merge together. i think that the contrast between the off white and the gray causes you to look closer to the work. i think that this incorporates into his collection of work, because it is in the color scheme...i also really enjoy it because the way that he cuts the work you can tell that it takes a lot of time and there is so much detail.

how long does it usually take for him to make this type of art?

Reflecting on self-portrait progress

I decided to make a picture of a theater. The view of the theater is as if you are walking into the theater to find a seat. I didn't finish but drawing all of it but I was going to draw in all of the theater chairs and balconies with seats in them. In all of the various seats, I was going to draw things that represent me such as: my race, my family, my culture, my personality. Feedback that I got was to incorporate more stuff about my connections with my immediate family. I am just going to keep working and it shall be done soon.
