Tenzin Chemi Q2 Portfolio

​This quarter, we were able to do some very interesting projects. Freedom in perspective played an important role in each of these pieces. The first project was creating a collage of whatever the artist desired. I decided to make a piece that represented culture. In this piece,  I knew I wanted to have patterns and different colors to show culture in my perspective, rich and colorful. However, I also wanted my piece to have simplicity in it's looks, so in the final product looks both colorful and simple. Our second piece was drawing fabric by shading and showing contrast to see the creases of the fabric. The third part of our project was to take a picture of something showing depth of field and then editing it on a given website. The final piece of the project was to pick a piece of writing such as a poem or a novel and illustrate something out of it. I picked my favorite poem called There, I still will be by Mirtha Michelle Castro Marmol and illustrated the poem in my perspective.  

The poem goes:
I gave you the sun 
But you wanted the moon. 
When I gave you the moon, 
You wanted the stars. 
So I reached blindly, 
for the most infinite stars, 
And wrapped myself 
Around each one of them, 
Just for you. 
The stars, 
the moon and the sun combined, 
Weren't enough for your fickle heart. 
So I took my tears, 
And made you a sea, 
So you can sail the earth 
And find the impossible treasure, 
You constantly seek. 
Yet every morning, 
my sun will be there to wake you. 
Every night, My moon will be there to calm you. 
And if you ever need me, 
Look amongst the stars, 
Wrapped in each one of them, 
There, I still will be.
