Assignment Fifteen-Identity

My childhood was filled with much fear and uncertainty. It was filled with bravery tests, and danger and fear. Obstacles to overcome and truths to become aware of yet It was also filled with things to love, things to grow close to, people to learn to trust, relationships to work on. As many times as I was reckless and got hurt or made my parents worry I was equally as blessed to have received such love and friendship and travel and experience life in a way few get to.

Assignment Fourteen-Graffiti

While I’ve always been a big fan of graffiti, I’ve never been able to create my own. But I’ve always loved words and messages and I like to choose them with care and consideration, especially in relation to myself and my life and the influences and opinions I make upon those around me, those I love.

Assignment Thirteen-Self Portrait

In your life you are not just you, one single individual—you are a combination of all the influences in your life, good and bad. Another, anything that had any influence on you, anything you’ve seen and any choice you’ve made. What you love and what you feel makes you who you are.

Assignment Twelve-Collecting

While I do not actively collect anything, I believe the act in itself is merely a hobby, only the usage of such a composition could be art. I have heard of many strange collections one I enjoy is my sister’s she collects hard covered book’s sleeves, and with a friend has come up with quite the collection. Lately she’s decided to implement this collection into a large scale, yet portable work of art. Clipping her favorite images, words, and colors from the sleeve’s she’s crafted a portable collage that she will use, add to, and share with her friends as they go on and go out in the world to lead their adult lives, away from where they grew up, beginning to redefine the concept of home to themselves.

Assignment Eleven-Perceptual Cramp

Everyone gets stuck sometimes, and everyone has different ways to get out of ruts. I find that through life it evolves and changes, I do things now I would’ve never considered, and things I did back then just don’t work. Art is living and evolving, it reflects your ever-changing life.

Assignment Ten-Found Materials

Art reflects your interest, and likes, it reflects your past and your dreams of the future. Anything can be art if applied with an artistic mind. Inorganic or otherwise, temporary or everlasting. You can be inspired by everything around you and make anything into a work of art.

Assignment Nine-Two Handed Drawing

As difficult as I found this to be, having little to no control over my psychotic left hand, I steadied the best I could and went for symmetry, I found drawing simultaneously with a unified mind, vision, and goal aided in the process greatly.
