I think my artwork is awesome because I like to keep my art real majority of the time. I like to draw about real problems and issues in the world sometimes and this artwork shows an issue that i wish could be solved. This artwork is about how majority of girls, females in general are insecure and try to be like the women that they see in the media. It's about how females aren't really happy and only pretend to be happy and constantly have things that the media are putting in their head on their minds. I find this to be an issue because females are not living up to their full potential because their to focused on trying to look like what society thinks is beautiful. This is one of the reasons why I think my artwork rocks because I like to draw about serious problems sometimes.

The artist who did this artwork is Bansky. This artwork is called "policemen kissing," it was done by Bansky in the year 2005. Bansky is a graffitti artist who I think is changing ourselves/culture/society. The artwork done above, I think Bansky is trying to get people to see that being gay is alright, or at least that's what I think he is trying to say. I think that is what he trying to say because in the background the two yellow signs say "At any time, and "At any time except sun." Those two yellow sings I think mean that homosexuals should always be accepted. I think Bansky is a groundbreaking artist because he is always taking on problems and challenges that are going on today that people don't like to deal with. He expresses his distate and concern of today's problems by expressing them through his graffitti art or as some may like to say his vandalism on property. In his art he also tries to get people to try and solve and think about what he is trying to say through his art and what problems and issue he is trying to take on, and that is why I think he is a groundbreaking artist.

Google is the site that I always get on everyday because it is so useful. On this website I look up anything I want to find out because the asnwer is always on google. If I'm confused or don't know the answer to something, Google is always my first choice to find out what I don't know. Google is apart of my identity because it always helps me out and that's why I could never let it g o, so that's why google is apart of me because it is included in my everyday life.

I think Jackson Pollock was trying to say in his painting that you don't need to know how to draw to become a great artist. To me he was trying to show and express himself in his own unique type of art. He mastered this technique for he did not know how to draw like other artists but he never gave up, which in turn caused him to become a successful artist. He made his own type of art tecnique known by mastering the art of splashing paint on a canvas and so much more. His map of mind shows that he had a lot of creativty and a lot of thigns that he wanted to express so he released them into his art.

Jackson pollock painting

Different colors make up a painting
Their splashed here, there, and everywhere
They brighten up the mood, because their vibe is so intense
My mood is suddendly uplifted by this painting of rainbow colors
With lines and zig zags that spread everywhere
They go on and on spreading their gift
Until they reach every nook and corner of their canvas

                                                       Jackson Pollack poem 

Paint flies here and there

Onto a canvas drips the soul of a man

Inspiration is conquered in a painting

As a search comes  to an end a new style of painting is beginning

Liquor becomes the death of rareness

Anger consumes a soul in despair

Paintings are growing in popularity  

Yet anger is far from subsiding and day by day a life begins to perish  

Denial is so clearly evident

When it's all to much to bare    

A true free-spirited mind is stripped from the entirety of the lost 

The bearer of the grief haves one name indeed as it is marked upon paintings as Jackson Pollack

 The Dada movement was a protest against the bourgeois nationalist and colonialist interests, which many Dadaists believed were the root cause of world war 1, and against the cultural and intellectual conformity—in art and more broadly in society—that corresponded to the war. This picture was made in 1919 and it was about the society and cruelty and unfairness of it. This is a perfect representation of the Dada movement because this was what the movement about. It showed different pictures of what was going on back then and how it can relate to the dada movement.

This is a colorful artwork that I found online. In this picture there are a lot of colors. There are primary colors, secondary colors, and tertiary colors. I think the artist of this painting was trying to create a homey feeling.  I think this is a picture happy picture of there homeland. With all the brilliant and bright colors I think this picture was created from happy anf joyful feelings.

My experience in creating my own portrait was very fun. I learned about portraiture and a little bit about it's 

history and it's evolvement. I also learned how to grid my portrait and draw it onto another gridded piece of 

paper. I painted my portrait with black, white, and a mixture of black/white to create a gray color. My portrait 

turned out quite well. My experience with portraiture i would have to say has been great.

This is a photograph by Carrie Mae Weems, she is applying her creative background to take on gun violence in local urban communities and how it affects everyone around it. I can relate to this photo in many ways. one way I can relate to this photo is because i have families members that were affected by the gun violence. My cousin was shot by a gang member but luckily survived.I also have friends who have family members who have died from gun violence. Everytime I watch the news I always hear about someone being shot or killed from gang and gun violence. These are some ways I can relate to this picture that Carrie Mae Weems did on gun violence.

 This is a letter written by a truly concerned and supportive friend for her gay friend. She really cares for her friend and tells him to keep his head up and ignore all the negative people trying to get him down. I picked this because I can relate to it. I have a gay best friend and people are always bullying and criticizing him because of his sexuality. Yet, at the end of the day I'm always there for him and tell him that those people are never going to change and to just live his life as he pleases. This is my reason for picking this note because I felt a connection with it, because I am also a true supportive friend for my gay best friend.

  I have nostalgia for the Barbie dolls because they were a main part of my childhood. Almost every time a Barbie doll came out i would get it, and I had all the accessories, even a big pink doll house. They use to be the doll that everybody wanted. Now it's different because new dolls such as Bratz have came out. Even though Barbie dolls are still out, It's just every time I see a commercial for a barbie doll or any other doll I just can't help but to remember my good childhood memories with Barbie dolls.
