I chose this Picture because I thought it was like me in the summer time, because I Love to go to the Beach and hang out with friends.I also have dark hair and like laying in the sun The only problem I think I will have with is The dolphin because I'm not good at Drawing detailed things. What I plan on using for Pencil and maybe even Chalk Im not sure yet. The problems I had encountered was the colors the lighter colors its self like for the long chair I did like a darker green because I couldn't come up with the light green with the paint.also the skinits self was Totally wrong, it was supposed to be white and well it turned out to be like a brown color african american color. Other than the skin color and the green chair color I just went with the flow and made the shading darker than the color its self. Was this piece sucessful? I think it was a very good piece of work because I spent a lot of time following the grid and making sure that everything was in the right spot I like how i made the girl a darker color and it kind of goes with the beach picture and on an island most people like to lay out on the beach. The girl looks peaceful laying in the sun on vacation I would not recommend selling this because I don't believe that it is that great where someone would want to buy it but it is a great piece of art for me because I am not that artistic. I ended up paining it instead of using pencil or chalk.

I believe that my figure drawing was a very nice piece of art work because, I could come up with my own creation. Its easier for me to come up with something that I enjoy then to look at something and draw it. The hardest part of the whole figure drawing itself would have to be drawing the figure. I liked the game twister as a child and i figure it would be cool to do a twister theme. Other problems I came across was the circles and making them look like circles so how i fixed them was make it close to a circle and make a squiggle marks in the circle. I loved how I did the bright colors and then have the black to bring out the colors and the purple to out line the black .I think this is a sucessfull piece of work and I would recommend this to a art project. I think it was a very good piece of work because I spent a lot of time following the grid and making sure that everything was in the right spot. My Social issue was on Child Abuse and the reasoning I chose to do it is because I think It is happening more and more in the world and it makes me sad.I know of some people that have been Abused as a child And I also was Verbally Abused by my Biological father. I know how it hurts and I just want people to be aware of how many people are being abused on a regular basis. The problems I had encountered was my figure its self I had a hard time making the figure proportional to a child and making it stand and kind of bending his head down. When I put it in the kilm and my arm fell off afterwards. But then we got my arm to get back on. Do I think it was a successful piece of art yes because it was from experience and I think I did really good with the colors and the splattering and my Hands on the box.

Social Issue Critic The Social Issue I chose to do was The smoking one because it is trying to show that Smoking kills people and kills your lungs and how it effects the world.I think they could have showed how it affected the family and how it affects the world. The materials they sued looked like they used Paint and Pencil for the sketching of the person. The social issue does affect millions of people in the world today and needs something done such as raise a higher tax payment where it will make people not want to buy it and it stops more people from dying of Lung cancer. I have had a few family members that has died of Cancer because of Smoking or lead up to because they smoked in the past. I just wish they would raise up the tax payment and age for people to buy cigarettes so they are less teens getting sick of even close to death because of cancer in the future. The persons point of view could be of watching someone in their family dying from Lung cancer and not even have them realize it.Its hard to sit and watch someone you love kill them selves and have them not ever look like they care. Tar is the main killer in the cigarettes, every time you puff on a cigarette it kills your lungs and hurts your heart and eventually your brain. She was also trying to get a point across that this is killing people more and more each day as the teens get the age of eighteen and are of age to buy a pack of cigarettes. I like how this person decided to put a lot of Emoition into this piece. It shows how the darkness of the picture means it hurts the world or could mean that person, It could also mean it is something bad or wrong in this piece! The person tried to make the painting stand out in the world with the skinny figure and having the smoke run out of the Cigarette.
