YAY!
So after submitting some pieces to the Scholastic Art Awards I am so honored to have won a Gold Key for this piece!
This piece means a lot to me and I still get hesitant feelings looking at it and posting it haha. But when I was brainstorming what I wanted my self-portrait to consist of, I knew I wanted it to showcase almost everything about me, the good and the bad. So, after looking on Pinterest and planning different ways to make my ideas look the best; I decided to use my happy-self-face, which was created from a collage of all the happy moments from my life and things that I like. (And I did use a program on the web to create the collage.) Then, my favorite part was creating the silhouette of my side face on my face. (And I had my friend, J$, help me with it.) Last of all, the part that took the longest was writing all of the problems and true feelings in my life which makes up the silhouette face. Overall, I wanted the self-portrait to convey that, just because somebody is put together on the outside does not mean that everything in his or her life is together. So the half face symbolizes what people may see on the front, but the silhouette shows another point of view that people may not realize.
It's awesome to know that hard work actually does pay off! (As cheesy at that sounds, it's true lol.)
And I hope you might have learned just a little of what I got out of this project :)

Anti-Bullying Typography
I really like the expression, "build up, not down" so I wanted to incorporate that into an Anti-Bullying awareness image. I had a though time deciding what the image should be but my AP Art teacher, Mrs. Ottum, suggested an arrow and I went with it. I loved the idea of having "up" be the main part of the arrow and cut out. Then I made the outline of the arrow from the rest of the words. I chose yellow and orange for the colors because they are happy colors and orange is usually known for anti-bullying awareness. Last of all, my teacher also came up with the idea of adding the dots and so that helped to add some more interest. Spread kindness :)

Concentration 1
Hello again! So for my concentration I decided create an Ad campaign for the GYC 2015 Conference. To find out more about what GYC is, visit this website! www.gycweb.org
I really wanted to explore advertising and I felt most excited about creating a campaign for the GYC event. And so, my first piece of art for this ad campaign is a poster. I first brainstormed of the theme, A Disciple, which is based on the verse Romans 1:12. It definitely was not easy. Then, I brainstormed how I wanted the poster to look, which was probably the hardest part; but I learned that sketches really do help and you should really do do them, lol. After sketching and considering what messages I wanted to convey through the poster, I decided to start out with having the theme go diagonal across the poster. Then, I added in Bible verses that had the concept of discipleship in them behind the name. Next, I love making images out of letters and words, and so after using Google and Pinterest for ideas I decided to create a sprouting little plant out of the I to signify growth through discipleship in an individual and others. I really love simple designs; so I included minimum information on the outsides and then emphasized GYC in yellow. The yellow adds brightness to the poster and signifies revival. And last of all, the gradient just puts everything together :) There will be another 11 pieces in my concentration that will all unite into one ad campaign.
