Quarter 3 Portfolio

Quarter three brought to light new ideas to simplistic concepts. I struggled with things that made me feel like I was back in elementary school. I love doing these things because it reminds me that this is really where the techniques lies. I was frustrated more times than I could count because of the assignments this quarter but it reminded me that I should always appreciate what made me as an artist. My water color was my favorite. The thing thatI could improve upon is that metamorphosis drawing. Another thing is that wire sculpture that really put me to the test. I wish that I was more patient with the wire sculpture so I could do more.

For the first part of this assignment I created an article and for the second part, I thought it would be creative to have cartoon demonstrating how the children would have felt if the contents of my article actually happened. Below is a bibliography of the sources that I used.
