 * My theme I chose was about cheating. I chose this because right now I’m going threw a phase of cheating. My stepmother cheated on my dad, and it’s really affecting me. So, this was the only thing on my mind. **


 * I didn’t know how to make it look like someone was cheating. I found a picture on Google that inspired me and found it easy to do. I struggled with making a bench to make all three people fit on it properly. It was also hard to make so many people in as much time as I had. So the front sides aren’t as I hoped, but I loved the overall product. So I had to make the decision to make the backs look really good. I didn’t end up putting on as much clothing as I hoped, so they got painted to hide the clay. **


 * The one thing that doesn’t work for me is that the one guy has a shirt on. It was designed to look like a tux and it does, but the two girls aren’t decorated as much as him. They don’t even have clothing just paint. I wish I could’ve spent more time on the quality of how they look, but I didn’t have enough time. Other then that I love it. If I had a chance to do it again, I would’ve spent more time on the background and the people. I don’t think I really incorporated a lot of cheating into the whole product. **



The social issue is smoking. They portrays it as smoking is bad.

I think this because the pollution in the air that it’s causing is really bold and it’s one of the first things you see. He made it stick out to draw attention to it. Also, there are dead tree’s in the background which could also say it’s killing the environment. It also makes it look like its bad for his health. I feel like there’s many ways you can interpret this.

I chose this because I thought it reminded me of my boyfriend and I. I also wanted to try something different, so I used watercolor instead of normal paint.

My major problem in this process was that I couldn't figure out a background. I had no clue on what I wanted to do. I finally figured it out, but then I struggled with the actual background paper.

I liked how it turned out. I'm really proud considering I wasn't excited about this project at all. Im glad I finished it the way I did though! 

My Art Piece :) I choose this because I love the whole kissing, love, holding each other look. I also think the different colors and texture of the art work are extremely good. I also thought it was going to be a challenge to recreate the same colors and texture as this one. I think the hardest part is going to be matching all the colors. Also, repeating the same texture of brush strokes will be difficult too. I hope I can recreate this to look something like this.

The painting didn't turn out as good as I had hoped. But in reality the painting had so many unique painting techniques that it was impossible for me to recreate the same exact thing. It was like he didn't even have a planned set land mixed colors randomly and went from there. The hardest part was getting the brush strokes the same. it seems so impossible. Overall I like my own but not compared to the other. I am happy with it though, because I did pretty good recreating the piece.
