I chose this piece of art because I enjoy music and I play the trumpet which is similar to what he is playing. His shirt and the back ground will probable be the hardest to get the right color. I really would like to use colored pencils or something other than oil pastels. I am not a fan of oil pastels. Drawing may be the hardest part of it too. There is a lot of detail for me to draw.

I had very few problems really. I had troubles with the face and shirt. I couldn't get the shirt to look natural with the wrinkles that are in the sleeves. I had problems with getting the face to look right too. I finally got the color pretty close, but getting some of the detail to the face was hard to do. The best part was probably the back ground. That actually made sense to me.

I think my art work was successful. It doesn't look exactly like the original painting, but i think it is pretty close. I like the way everything ended up looking. I could have done more still probably, but for the most part is is pretty good. I like the way the hat and back ground turned out the best. I also like how the pants and trumpet turned out.

 * ART.VA.II.HS.5 || **// I can reflect on the process that led me to my final, successful piece. //**




 * //I chose this idea because I love music. I choose to go with the festival theme because this is the first year the high school band has gotten a one at festival in over a decade. I put him in a concert uniform and used our festival music to decorate.//**


 * //I didn't really have any problems. The hardest part was just trying to make all my ideas come together and look good. The most taxing part of this was cutting out all the music that is behind him. It took two days or more to cut it all out because I went measure by measure.//**


 * //My artwork was very successful. I had a lot of fun with this project. I liked the fact I could make my person into anything I wanted to. I really just love how everything turned out. If I could change one thing it would be how big I wrote on it. I would make it bigger so it could be seen further away, but I like how it turned out.//**

 * //My social issue was divorce. I chose this because my parents divorced when I was 5 and it has impacted my life a lot. I tried to focus on what the point for divorce and how you shouldn't be divorced. You can always work through things.//**


 * //I didn't have a lot of problems with this project. I had fun with it. I had a lot of interest in the topic so it was easier for me to do it and come up with ideas. The hardest part was figuring out hoe to put facts into the project.//**


 * //I believe my artwork was very successful this time. I like the fact I could do whatever I wanted with the idea. I had a lot of fun with the project. If I could change one thing it would make my people more people like. I am happy with how it turned out overall though.//**

Picture


 * //I believe the social issue being addressed is about smoking. The fact that it can destroy your health. It damages your body. And along with the environment around you. It is saying not to smoke.//**


 * //The artist is saying how its bad to smoke and how it is gross. The figure in the painting is very displeasing to look at. So I think the artist is trying to get the point across that smoking is displeasing to people. It is also displeasing to the environment.//**


 * //I think the artist did very well with this art. It moved me to realize how unpleasent it is to smoke. I think the artist really captured the idea.//** ||
