In this box, we have two games, one is tic tac toe, the other is true or dare.  In the tic tac toe, there are brains and scissors, the brains are symmetrical and the scale of the scissors are normal. The squares in the tic tac toe game are tessellations. For the true or dare game, we wrote some questions and putted it in the box. On top of the box, it is more prominent because it has a hole. This game is simple, so the eyes don’t need to move around much, just focusing on one specific location. I created the box and cut out the piece. We created these two games just to cheer Liam up. 

Favorite art journals

I love these art journals because they both talk about being invisible. I love to be invisible. 

Weekly art journals are cool. I can improve my writing and sketching skills.  However, weekly art journals are time consuming. 

Favorite daily object sketches

I spent alot of time to do some reseaches and draw these sketches. It paid off, these sketches are all came out great. They all look good, except the last one, I like it because it has nutella. 

When I first came to AAA, I doubted my drawing skills but then I did the daily object sketches, I realized that I could draw. The daily object sketches are cool. I love them.

Who Am I?

When I first did the six sketches for my project, I planned to sketch something that related to my culture in Vietnam, so I could link those sketches to show who I am. After I drew the sketches, everything turned black, I looked and nothing, nothing could explain who I am in those culture sketches. I was panic because I hadn't had any ideas to draw. Then, I learned the Revelation and I saw the word "water." Everything changed and I started to draw unconsciously. God helped me, I am blessed. I did this artwork to express what I am thinking of this world right now and to show who I am. We, the human, are the water and we are trapped in this world. We are covered by the mountains, on top of us in the sun and below us is hell. We can't do anything to escape this cruel world except believing in God. I am a believer, I believe in God.

In this artwork, I used invented texture on the mountains, the symbols on the mountains just came out and I didn't even know what it meant. Tint is my value; I added a lot of white after I colored the sea with blue. Square tetrad theme is my color palette because I chose yellow, blue and pink. My artwork also contains three elements which are form, shape and line. The water is rhythm in harmony which is form, the mountains are two dimensional and measure for line, the measure appears at the bottom on the left mountain.

Art Critique

This was recreated by Annabella Harper, the original was called “Sunrise by the ocean”. When I first look at this picture, the yellow sun stands out the most. This is weird, I personally think that the blue sky stands out to me but my eyes think different, I close them and open it again, the eyes focus on the sun, the YELLOW sun. In my opinion, yellow makes the sun standing out, it forces my eyes to look at it. The road leads my eyes around from place to place. In this recreated artwork, maybe she wants to present about her effort, she is the sun, alone in the blue sky, but then she rises up with an unknown reason, she makes it up to the top of the world where nobody can ever reach her. She used the color perfectly, blue means lonely, yellow means motivation, optimistic, it shows exactly what I guess, it is just a guess. The overall creation is magnificent. If I could give a title to this awesome piece, it would be “Shine bright like a diamond.” The feeling that represented in the artwork are so strong, it hurts me, a lot.

Color Project Artist Statement

2 weeks ago, I was bored, so I typed in google the word “art”, I scrolled down and I saw an artwork that reminded me about my parents. It is created by Pierre Kenal Luois, and he named the artwork “High Heels Abstraction Dripping.” I am an international student, which means I live away from my caring parents. They own a shoes factory but they are not felicitous. My father has to go and buy every single material, he can ask someone to do it for him but he does not, it is hard for him to trust anyone, and my mother works with the employee. After looking at Pierre’s artwork, I was sad and depressed but then I prayed. I changed and looked at another aspect, I must turn those pessimistic into motivation, so I decided to draw it for my project, to show the world that how much I love my parents. I looked at the artwork again and thought how could I recreate this to make it my own, unique. First thing came up to my mind was changing the colors, but no, the original colors in the artwork are perfect. It showed exactly what I wanted to present. Blue means feeling sad, felling of depression, pink means over-emotional but I wanted to be optimistic, so huge yellow in the background stands for enthusiasm, confidence and optimism. In the printing world, the color pallet that Pierre used was CMYK, but for me, I lived in the drawing world, so I used tetradic. Time to make the artwork my own, I drew a dress and a handbag and colored it based on the high heels. I did want to use paints but I couldn’t, it was too difficult. I did not know what materials should I you, so I was stressed but luckily, my brain worked, it came up with something. I used pastel to color, it was dirty and dust but beautiful when you colored. I had to admit, I deeply wanted to use doc technique to color, but it was time consuming and I did not know what to do, so I passed and used the “original color technique”, colored everything with pastel. The artwork was finished, this was my first time drawing and finishing the artwork with meaning. Thank you mom and dad.

Thanks Mrs.Jacqui for helping me.
