Pinwheel for piece!!!(: I chose to do my pinwheel on music. Music has always been something i  can turn to when i'm upset, or even mad. I love the color orange and i also love the saying, "Peace, Love, Music! Description: Big bright orange pinwheel. Cd in the center with a speaker over it. There is a piece sign painted over the speaker and cd. The piece of steel that holds the pinwheel up is orange and says "Peace, love, music on both sides. Each corner of the pinwheel had a music note and on the folded corner parts, there are hearts with peace signs in them. Problems: Some issues i ran into were trying to make my pinwheel spin. So i had to have my dad help me and we put a rod in there with some attachment pieces on each side. I also had trouble finding something to do my pinwheel on so i chose music because Mrs. Ruggles asked me what i do when i'm upset.



Figure Study!(: I actally started out really liking this art and i didnt mind drawing the figure on the grid. I had no issues with that but when i started to think about what medium i wanted to use, it got difficult! I thought about chalk or oil pastel but i figured that it would be very hard to blend for the amount of blending that needed to be done. I chose paint because i figured that once it dried i could go over it with white to make the dress look like it was draping over her legs. I dislike a lot of my painting besides the windows and the chair under the female figure. I like how the painting turned out overall it is a very good piece of art and i am happy with it! I just dont like to compare it to the original because there are so many things that dont compare right to it.

Children Picture Translation: I think this process was extremely irritating and very difficult. I had so much troubles that i wanted to give up at many points. The easiest thing about this project was when i picked my background. I actually picked to different layers and i used 2 different sites. I used photo flexer at first to use the scissors to cut the young lady out, then i used queeky to fill in the colors of her dress and her hair, and her eyes. Queeky seemed like the easiest tool to me and my art turned out good because of it. After i got the girl all done, i added the castle as the back layer and i put a tree in there as another layer. I guess i would recommend you to do this project for the future students because it is helpful to know how to use the online tools now.
