I chose this piece to try and create my own version of it because it looks like it will be easy but it still has a slight bit of difficulty to it. I think that I will use paint or oil pastel to recreate this piece of art. I think that the hardest part of this painting is going to be the rocks at the bottom of the painting.

Calebs pre drawling

I choose this painting because I thought that I would have a better time drawling a deer rather than a person. Also i choose this painting because I have already painted a person the first time I took art 2. I really liked the way the deer looked in the painting and that is probably the main reason that I choose this painting. Some problems that I had in while doing this painting was trying to get all the right colors on the deers face and on its body. I also had a problem with the brush strokes in the back ground of the painting. I fixed these problems by using more coats of paint until I got the right color or shade that I wanted. I think that this painting was a success because it turned out almost just like i wanted. Yeah there could be some mistakes and stuff that could be fixed to make the painting better but I like it the way that it is now.

The reason that I choose this painting is because of the way that the deer looks and all of the shades of brown that is in the painting. Also it didn't look that hard to do so that is another reason that I picked this painting. I also thought that if I could do this painting i think that I can do almost any painting that I wanted. The struggles that I had was all the different shades of brown that was in this painting. I took my time and mixed the paint so it made that right shade of for the painting. Also I had trouble with the horns on the deer and trying to make them look realistic and 3d. I am happy with this painting because it turned out like i wanted it to. I like it more than the other painting that I did the first time that I took art 2. I kind of looked forward to this project because I wanted to make a better painting than I did last time.

I choose do this painting because I really like hunting and the figure went along with the idea really well. Also I thought it would be easy to do so I decided to do it to get it done and over with. I really didn’t have that many problems with this painting the only problem that I really had was trying to get the right shade of the color that I wanted. It really started to make me mad so I just went with a shade close to it if I couldn’t figure it out. I am pretty happy with the painting because it works greatly with the theme that I have been trying to stick to this year. The theme that I am trying to stick with is the theme of hunting and I have done a pretty good job of staying on that theme.





I choose my theme because it seems like a good topic to inform the people in Montcalm county. I think that the topic of drunk driving is a topic that every body should learn more about. Some problems that I encountered during this project was to first of all find out what I was going to make for the project. Another problem that i encountered was getting the glass to stay together and to get it so that all the sides were the same size. I decided to make a glass box because it seem like it would be fun to make it because I have never made one. I like how my piece turned out because of the things that I had to overcome during the whole process of making the box. I think that if it is shown in the public that many people will like it because it is something different than what people usually do.

Social Issue Painting. I think that the painting is trying to tell us about things that are happening in the world around us. The things that maybe not all of the people in the world know about so the artist is trying to show us through art. I think that many people would understand the topic better through art instead of words. One clue that makes me say this is because of the statues that are on the board. There are multiple statues and some of them are laying on the ground like they are dieing. Then there are other statues that are standing up like they are doing really well in the worlds economy. Another reason I think this is because there are different things for all the countries in the world. Some of the things that the artist put in this painting aren't really the best of things that happen in those countries. So for this reason I think it is hinting towards the problems of the world. Another thing that I noticed was that there is a picture of George Washington's head I think that this means that the rest of the world in not really happy with the United States being its own country. Also it has a picture of the world in a cage and I think that this means that there are certain countries that want to take over the rest of the world.These are the reasons I think that the artist was trying to show the things that are wrong with the world today. I think that this piece is very successful because it gets the artist point across pretty simple. I think that there could be things made more clearer but in the end I think that it is a good piece of art. This is what I think this painting is about.
