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.
