This is my final project. What i did was i experimented with black and white photos and color photos because my life isn't just black and white. and then i drew my foot and my tattoo because that is really important to me. and then i painted what i thought hopeful thinking would look like.

This is my self portrait piece. It is based on the idea that we are shaped by the people in our lives- friends and family. Therefore I made a collage of all the people who have made an impact on my life in the background. Then I created a face sculpture out of cardboard by layering it. Then I painted over the sculpture some of the different roles I have or have had throughout my life.

This is my final project of my self portrait. My inspirtation for this project was to illustrate the inside of me by putting together all of the things that make me who I am in a collage. Some of the pictures describe me and some of the pictures are things that I love.

For my final project I used oil pastel to make an original design signifying the bond I have with my older sister. The darker blue line is supposed to be an S for sister when the project is turned vertically. I used pen to make a stained glass like background. The bond I have with my sister is a very important part of my life and represents an aspect of myself.

For this final project, I chose to use my favorite form of art and put it all together for people to see. I've always been one who loves to take photos and make a scrapbook out of them. For this project, I chose to do more of a collage of some of my favorite pictures I took when I was in Europe a couple years ago. Traveling let my desire for photography grow so I could capture some of my favorite places and moments in life. I am very proud of this project and wouldn't do anything different to change it.

This picture is a photo of me and all of the areas I have tried to improve in this past year.

The list includes:

Reliability, Opportunity, Family Leadership, Sleep, Relaxation, Timeliness, Writing, Observation, Art, Music, Accountability, Friendship, Creativity, Preparation, Conversation, Listening, Comprehension, Brotherhood, Disk.

I had the idea that it would improve my overall health, wellness and liveliness. Personally I believe it worked because I have had a very successful year academically and socially. I have also discovered many different hobbies that have helped me be more active during my down time.

For my art final, I did two paintings. The idea behind this project is that I wanted to do something that showed two completely different sides of me while still showing that it's one overall person. So I did the same painting in two totally different ways. The difference in the color choices in the two paintings represents two things: my outer versus my inner appearance and my mental illness: manic depression.

I didn't want to use black or white in either painting unless i had to. I also didn't mix the colors with the mixing tool. I just sort of swirled them a little with my brush to keep the colors more separate. In both paintings, I painted a tree for all the stereotypical reasons that I'm still growing but at the same time have grown so much. But the tree is shaped like a dancer (in an arabesque with her arms over her head) because dance is the thing in life that has brought me the most joy. Also, within the leaves in each painting are shapes that are significant to the personality that the painting conveys. Also, orange and green are the only two colors that really appear in both paintings because those are my two favorite colors.

The painting on the left is my "outer" appearance. I have a sunny and bright personality which is conveyed in the painting. Also, this tree is hollow to show a lack of depth in an outward impression. The shapes that appear in that painting are:

A treble clef - for my love of music and the way it's changed my life
The number 5 - the number of head injuries I've survived.
The number 2 - I am the second born in my family. And 2 has been my number in every sport I've ever played.
The first letter of each of my family member's names: V, A, K, M, and D.
A smile - because I love smiling
A footprint - because I want to be remembered by those I love. And I have broken knuckles in my feet but continue to live my life in spite of them.

The painting on the right is my "inner" appearance. Outside, I may come across as careless and fun but there are a lot of dark places in my mind and messy things in my life that have left me scarred. The shapes in the leaves in this one are:

Stitches - self explanatory
The word "ME" - because I'm really hard on myself and cause a lot of my own issues.
A knife - from a very dark self-mutilation phase
The letter "A" - for a guy who I was in a really bad relationship with.
The letter "L" - for all the lies I tell/have told/will tell.
The letter "D" - for my dad and our rocky relationship.
A moon - for the summer I became an insomniac and endured the most miserable three months of my life.

Sorry that was so long. I feel like a proper explanation is required to explain why I painted a tree for my self portrait.

When I was considering what type of project I should do to represent me and my life, I immediately thought of all those close to me--my family and friends--and my unique experiences. With this in mind I decided that pictures would be the best way to portray this. It was hard narrowing down which pictures I wanted to use because I have so many, and I attribute the large size of the piece to the massive amount of pictures I wanted to include, but there was a distinct pattern to how I organized them. The middle of the collage is of me and then spreading out below and above are pictures of those close to me. On the sides are from places I have traveled to that hold a large significance for me...Europe, Tennessee, Colorado, and Brasil. I used scrapbooking paper and stickers to add my own personal flair; scrapbooking is one of my favorite crafty past times so it seemed appropriate. I really enjoyed this project and look forward to displaying it in my apartment next year!

In this project I attempted to use as many different colors as possible that were outside of the box. I mainly used bluish colors but in different shades.

I couldn't decide what objects to choose so I chose 5 songs that represent an aspect of my life/personality. Songs include: Meloncholy Hill by Gorillaz (far right), Jezebel by Iron & Wine (top right), Steppin Up by MIA (top right), Sound of Muzak by Porcupine Tree (middle dark band), and The Warning and a few other songs by Hot Chip (bottom left). I identify a lot with music in a way that probably indicates more about my person than material objects. Especially because material items I own are also owned by many others but no one has the same itunes library as I do. I've always associated itunes libraries with fingerprints, everyone's is different and unique.

Okayy this Painting is the Realistic Landscape I Painted Chicago because I am from Chicago and it is my very favorite place in the entire world. I made sure that I painted all my favorite places in Chicago on this Painting.

This next painting is my Imaginary Landscape. I painted what I think the triangle would look like from the inside. I painted the Bermuda triangle because I have always wondered about this place. I was always curious on why its such a dangerous area. And also i thought it would be a fun and creative landscape to paint

The top picture is of an imaginary place. I chose to do Atlantis. I tried to not make the lines on anything too sharp or straight, so as to make it seem more underwater-y.

The bottom picture is of the real place I chose to do. I tried to paint houses along the coast in Greece. I have never been to Greece but it is my dream vacation spot. The architecture and the land would be beautiful to see in person. Also, my older sister has been there and highly reccommends it.

The above painting is my imaginary landscape. It is of a fairy tale castle in a distant land. I really wanted the grass and trees to have a distinctly green color and the castle itself to be more colorful and stand out. This painting is easier to identify than the personal landscape, but I did that intentionally since it is supposed to be from my own imagination. The personal painting, below, is meant to challenge the viewer to think hard about what place it represents by looking at the colors, shapes, placement of the shapes. It is the more abstract of the two. It is a representation of Starbucks because it is one of my favorite places on campus to go and relax and enjoy a nice hot chai tea latte.

My theme for the 25 color mixed squares was to use a lot of purple since it is my favorite color, and then intermix squares with colors that describe myself. I used greens to represent my Irish background, browns to portray my hair and eye color, and finally some bright yellows contrasting with grays and blues to represent my personality. I am very social and outgoing, (yellows/reds/oranges) but I also like my time to myself to be studious (blues).
I found that keeping the squares sharp was difficult even when using tape because I have shaky hands. Mixing the colors and experimenting was enjoyable.
