Updated Assignments
So I made a few changes and updates to some of my past assignments
 |
| Sunflower - I placed the quote on the bottom of the poster instead of across so it won't interrupt the flow |
 |
| Tolerance Piece - I added more words so it would create and overwhelming feeling and moved the face and gradient so it follows the rules of thirds. |
 |
| Conservation Poster - I aligned the bottom text and made the overall text smaller |

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 :)
