I choose this painting because of the way that the colors in the painting go together. The thing that I think will be hardest in this painting will be the sky because of all the different shades gray. I think that I will use a oil pastel or temperate paint. The biggest problem that I had during this project would be mixing all the colors together to get the right color for the sky and the apple. The hardest thing of this whole painting would be the painting of the sky with the clouds. The way they formed together in certain patterns and the colors mixed together and created. The easiest thing I think would be the bricks at the bottom of the painting. I am happy with this painting because I worked hard on it and it turned out pretty descent. The bricks and the water turned out really good and the guys coat turned out really good. The only thing that I wish I would of changed or did better would be the clouds in the sky they turned out descent but the don't look that much like clouds.

The reason why I chose to do this theme on my person is because I wanted it to be different than other peoples drawings of people. The biggest problem that I had with this drawing was to color all the camo on the persons pants and on the Mossy Oak sign above and below the figure. The reason why it was hard was because you had to get it all the same shade of the color and if you didn't you would have to redo it. The easiest thing I thought was about this project was drawing the person it was much easier than trying to find a theme for the figure. I am happy with this figure because I think that the figure and the background go good with each other. The camo on the person works good with the black paper in the back ground.


 * ART.VA.II.HS.8 || **// I can explore social and global issues through the creative process. //** ||



I chose my theme because terrorism is a major issue in the United States now days. It all started a lot at 9-11 when the terrorist ran the planes into the twin towers. This is what inspired me to do terrorism because many young men and women are risking their lives to try and stop the war on terrorism. Also many of the man and women that are serving in the United States armed force have been killed or seriously injured trying to stop terrorism. Another reason that I wanted to do this social issue is because all of the families that have lost their loved ones because of terrorism. Some problems that I came across during this social issue project was what social issue should I do for the project. It took me probably at least a week to figure out what I was going to do for this project. Another problem that I encountered during this project was the background. The paper wanted to stick together so I had to gently take it back apart. The most important decision that I had to made during this project was trying to get the clay figure to stand up. I think that this piece of art work persuades the audience very well to see that terrorism is very bad for the world. Its shows facts that show how bad terrorism is for the world and what happens when some one commits a terrorist attack. This artwork is working because of all the facts and pictures that I have put on it. To show information about terrorism and the bad things that can happen because of terrorist. If I could do this project again I would let things dry a little bit longer than I did in the first time.

Critique of Social Issue Painting

The image that I am writing about is the last painting in the group of paintings. I think that the painting is trying to tell the world that smoking is bad for you and the people around you also. This painting does a good job showing what can happen to u and the people around you if you smoke. The shades of colors that the artist used go well with the theme of this painting it makes you feel kind of said for the people in the picture. This would make it so the people that smoke would want to stop smoking so that they wont harm themselves or any one else. I don’t think that this artwork would be able to be hung in any place but a museum. The reason why is I think this is because of the message that I shows its audience. It is not really meant for little kids to look at it is more for adults that are looking a persuasive paintings. The painting is really great at keeping the viewer focused on the topic of the painting with the way that the figures work together with the background. Also there are many different types of social issue paintings out in the world today and I think this is probably one of the best ones that I have seen in a while. The reason why I think this is because you can tell what the social issue is right away and it really shows what can happen if you smoke. The figure is blending in with the background and it shows what will happen if the person doesn’t stop smoking that they will die and they will no longer exist.
