The reason I chose my piece of art because I found it interesting with the color and the detail of the art. And it also seemed like a military based art, which was an interest for me. Each part of the art project had some kind of detail that stood out to me. And it seemed like an easy project to work with, but i was wrong on that one. There was many problems down the road making this painting. First off I had problems keeping track of the original painting. I found this art on a google related website and then lost it. I tried to retrace my steps but found out that for some odd reason they deleted it from the website it came from. But luckily I printed off the painting before it was deleted, I had to work with black and white. I could tell by the light grey and black on the printing what color it actually was. I thought I could have done better at my painting. Because after I was finished with it, it seemed like all the effort that was put into the art washed away through my prospective. And the detail in it didn't seem to have as much as the original painting, mine seemed dull and boring. A few parts of what I did I was proud of, the drawing I did excellent at but not the painting of the project.

Observational drawing Now, first to start off why I chose this for my figure. It seemed like an easy background to draw but also had a very colorful look to that would be appropriate for my figure. There wasn't that much detail into the background though there should have been more of the detail that was needed. Some of the issues with this figure was that I had problems finding the right and appropriate background. I thought about how the figure was standing and something that would suit that stance. To give it that color and look I chose a background with a rainbow and hills. I didn't make the color pencil dark enough so I went back and pressed harder to get the darker look to the drawing. After that was finished it looked more professional then it did before. The figure stood out more when the rest was all colored in. The drawing that I did I thought I could have done way better then I did. It diffidently wasn't my best piece of art work, I could of chose a background that had more detail to it. But proud I finished it and it turned out ok, not really what I was hoping for when I was working on it. I learned more about drawing figures and what detail should be placed, I had fun with this art project.

Social issue project The main factor of why I chose the social issue suicide and depression is because I have been surrounded by people that dealt with this kind of situation. In the past I've had girlfriends that were stressed and felt like they need to make the decision to cut themselves. This encouraged me to make this project and how bad and stressful this can be, to show people. I think stress promotes all of this so thats why I put the word on the back this project.
