Quarter 4 Cheyenne Pagan

The first 5 pictures : DIY Project ; Stenciling 

The first picture is a stencil from a stencil website that I then printed out and cut out the black of the picture. I gathered my materials which were 50% bleach/ 50% water solution, an old black shirt, cardboard (I could've used paper as the stencil but cardboard would ensure that the bleach didn't soak through) I placed the stencil on the shirt and sprayed the bleach around it a little bit at a time. I repeated this process once more on a polo shirt instead (thicker fabric). I actually enjoyed the crispness of the first try. 

Next 3 : 200 pictures 3-4 edits 

 before & after 

These are my favorite because they are simple there isn't much going on and the way I edited the pictures were only slight color, contrast, or saturation alterations.

Next 5 : 200 pictures - non-edit just think look cool 

Next 2 : Copying an Artist


I like my representation of Murakami's original. It was fun creating it and shows something about me, impatient and messy. (:

Missing - Bicycles


For this assignment, I had been absent due to a stay away science fair when we had begun working on it. Reviewing and studying others pieces I do believe I have gotten the concept of the assignment and the way one must view an object in not only different perspectives but also its different spaces. I cannot say that I've first hand great experience with these techniques but considering myself an artist I want to set this as one of the goals for myself, at least to try.  

Next 1 : Outside 

I chose to keep my outside piece very simple and almost sketch-like but I paid attention to "sloppy" detail without thinking to much into it I added shades where my eyes told me I seen shades. I really wanted to stray away from a piece that would like semi-realistic or artistic to tacky by adding unnecessary bricks, which in my mind would appear more like squares. When relating to an outside piece the way you portray that artwork is also a representation of the way your mind as an artist processes the environment around you. For example, usually in fast pace environments the artist will show that fast pace with the quickness in strokes or how much space is being used on the canvas. Blank negative space, in this case, was the best choice in my opinion for this specific work. I was sitting in a simple calm park and with not much clouding my thoughts or view I didn't believe that there should be much clouding or lingering around the main focus, the tree. 

Goals: 
Try different spaces/perspectives with negative/positive
Try different styles of simple and complex drawing/painting
Do more painting projects ( I never realized that I had potential in this field until this year :')
Do more arts and crafts ( This was also fun and creative )
Learn from others but still finding my perfected personal techniques
Not be afraid of A. Failure B. Mistakes C. Something not being perfect 
& to really keep in mind "Art pieces are living..."- Hull : so I can't REALLY control what happens sometimes (:
