__ Artist Statement __ For some reason finding the right picture took me awhile. I wanted to find a picture that had flowing colors and easier to do. I was looking for a picture that I would enjoy painting. Then I came crossed this picture of a little girl with a bunny. It looked cute and somewhat easier to do so I decided to choose this piece of art. As it turns out this picture was not that easy to do at all. At first I started with oil pastels and it was taking me forever to do, so I switched to painting. Painting was not much easier either because I’m not good at mixing colors. The background was the hardest part of all because I could not get the colors to blend very well. The skin color was hard o get with the mixing of paints and all, but I think that it looks okay. Overall I think that I did all right. It was the hardest art project I have ever done, but I pushed through and didn’t give up. I wish I could’ve done the background a lot better and I think that I could have if I took my time. I really like the hair and how it turned out although it doesn’t look like the original.


 * __ Social Issues __**

Homeless People I think that this social issue is showing me a homeless kid. He has no shoes on and it looks like he’s surrounded by cardboard which is what he uses for shelter. He looks sad and lonely with a worn out dog by his side. Everything looks dirty and the only thing he has to wear are the clothes on his back.

Kasey Sinclair ** __ Don’t Take Out GOD! __ **  Trying to find a theme was a little challenging for me. First I looked at ideas that I could relate to or that I had strong feelings for. I looked over the information and chose this one because I want people to see what I have to say. I’m a Christian and I think that God should not be taken out of the pledge of allegiance. It’s something that I’ve known for my whole life and I do not think it should change. While creating this I didn’t know what to start with. There were many backgrounds I had in mind and I chose the one that I thought was the best and would look good. Creating this was harder than it looked. I had to paint and paint and paint. Just painting the background was a hassle. All I did was keep painting until I couldn’t see the cardboard, which took longer than I had planned. Overall I think I did a better job than what I thought I would do. I would say that whoever saw this project I have done, they would know what I’m trying to show. If I could have the chance to do it over I would add more things like words and phrases. I want people to know what I think and I’m glad I had a chance to do this project to have a say for a change.
