====//__**W**hy?..Why did I choose this piece of art above? It held an appeal to me that's why. I liked the darkness of it the way it turned a normal thing to something dark and creepy. I liked that quality that this picture gave, the way the face looked: fierce, determined, scary it all appealed to me in a way no other art piece could. While others choose children and lighter work I choose darker more disturbing work. It's not a normal piece of work but when I first saw it I knew it was the one I was going to do and I wouldn't have chose different.__//====

====//__**T**he process I took to doing this was long and quite strenuous..I had a lot of trouble with the face mostly because I couldn't capture the essence of the face correctly like it did in the original picture. So after awhile I had to begin to make decisions like how will I do this, how can I make it work for me, and how will it look in the end. But after awhile it all came together and it works for me. __//====

==== //__**W**hen I was finished with this art piece I was indeed happy with it. If I had a choice to do this again I would do this again this is my art piece and I am happy with it and I always will be. Yes, I did indeed have much trouble mostly the face but the arms and the detail I think I did well with.So no I would not pick another picture and yes I would redo this if I had the chance but I might do it a bit better and more organized this time. __// ====

__//**I**n this picture below it shows an artist's drawing of a suicide victim. To me this piece of art signifies suicide because the artist's choice of colors there dreary and sad but they also make a statement about taking life by the blood against the dark background. The artist caught what does happen in suicidal actions, there is wrist cutting and other things that happen and there is blood and to a depressed person there is only black and grey. This is a issue because people do commit suicide and it does start out like this picture bleak but it does end up bright and flowing. To me it seems the artist has had a view of the real thing that is why this picture seems so good in its view of// //s ////uicide. //__



====//__**F**or my end of semester exam in Art 2 I chose to do Suicide for a Social Issue. I, chose this issue because to me it is a big deal, people shouldn't take their own lives if they can help it, but no one is ever there to help. So I'm trying to make awareness of the issue so it can be helped. Another reason I chose this issue is because I had a friend who was depressed and I was always scared he was going to try something, I'm still always scared for him and I don't want other people to feel that fear so i'm making it my priority to help even by making a small project not many will see, but to those who see it I hope it will make a big impact. I'm hoping it will help, even a little bit counts in my opinion, even for such a big reason. That is my reason for choosing Suicide as my Social Issue Project.__//==== ====//__**D**uring this project I had very few issues. The main problem I had was to try to find a way to move people. In my opinion it still needs work but..well I did the best I could. I had to decide wether to put pictures on here that actually had an impact or just cushion it for people so they wouldn't feel offended or shocked by the images. But in the end I did put a few images on there that might still offend some, but if it gets the message across I'll live with the criticism. My project moved along pretty well in my own opinion and I think I did good.__//==== ====//__**M**y overall opinion of my Project was: I think I did ok. Everyone has their own opinions so I can't really say it had an effect on anyone because I don't know. I think if I showed it to people then yes it might have an affect on them but it's their opinion over mine. I think that some of the pictures I have on there are just for show but others are there to make an impact. But I think my little messages and quotes are what works the most because they tell people information instead of making them figure it out by looking at the pictures. If I had a chance to redo this project, I would most definitely do this again, it was fun and gave me a small sense of purpose for the moment. So this is my project Suicide, I would do over and over and I hope it helps those who need it.__//====
