As others artists probably say, my reason for doing creating this was because “I wanted to.” I didn’t know what I wanted and I just sat idly looking at random Google images. I saw landscaping photos and then I got a sensation of doing some type of landscape. At first I didn’t know what direction I should take whether it was paint or whatever so I asked Ms. Hull for her opinion of what she would do. So I ended up using black construction paper and a black colored pencil to take care of the dark shades of the mountain and a white crayon for the snow. Then I took pastel and marked the different areas of the sky for the positions of the colors and where they blend. Then I took paint and threw it over the markings. The photo showed the clouds having a violet hue to them so over the sky I put purple pastel. I personally enjoy the peaceful and colorful look of landscapes because it is not something I experience everyday and it showcases a very positive side of our planet. From my religious point of view, it just reminds me of the amazing beauty God can create.

I lack the power to produce my own inspiration, an unfortunate step backwards with art. Luckily, it only takes a little bit to fuel a need to brush out the idea. So, talking to my teacher became the inspiration. I write poetry and Ms. Hull’s idea to sketch up something based on one of them was perfect. It’s not complete yet because of my terrible timing, but it was a great idea and I had an urge to sketch up my own poem “Epiphany.” What I plan to do is a sketch. Nothing fancy, just something to get the image flowing if I want to do anything else to it. First I will sketch out lines to match how far back the scene will be and use a photo to help sketch the background. It should resemble the Route 15 trolley that runs through my neighborhood. Then I will change different sections of the background to match the specific descriptions in the poem. All I need is a picture of what my background should be (hard to get when you get a bus in the morning instead of the usual trolley). It’s a love poem. It’s about a girl, a trolley and bunch of metaphors referring to, and possibly exaggerating a moment when I was either heading to school or home. I play with words too much and from what I’m told I write some good stuff. I was thinking about sketching up one of my lyrical piece of art, but haven’t paid it any mind until now.

Yeah so I screwed up the picture and so I stopped doing it. Kinda lost interest afterwards especially when I somehow put a hole in it and the fix looked bad.

Like Ed, my idea was drawing up my “avatars”/”aliases.” I wanted to draw my favorite ones instead of the 15-20 of them that I have. I prefer drawing things by themselves so it will take some time. I didn’t know whom to start with and what I would use to inspire the picture. I used google images and that was so-so in helping me. I went online found a couple websites and for some it worked out pretty well. I got… about three done, plus a couple of random drawings I wanted to do. I couldn’t find any pictures to really base off of so I couldn’t finish what I wanted. I don’t know what to say except that I had fun drawing. I like to sketch things and that was what I did
