Artist Statement For my theme I chose high school graduation/memories. I have already taken this class before so I was able to do something different than all the other students. I decided to make something for my open house because I am actually graduating this year. I wanted to actually make something that I can use instead of just throwing away once its been made and graded. Mrs. Ruggles actually gave me the idea for this theme.

There were some problems I faced, such as the white paint wouldn’t cover all the cardboard color. I decided to cover it up with green tissue paper do help hide the brown color and it actually turned out pretty neat. The number that I cut out and painted black looked too plain to me and I paint splattered them with white paint. Then I have a problem because the numbers didn’t match the board theme to I paint splattered the backboard with black paint. It looks unique in its own way and I am pleased with it.

I believe my piece was successful and tells others what it’s meant to be. It’s obvious because of the colors, the graduation cap, and all the pictures that were glued on it. I wish I could shift the numbers over just a little to make is look better. Other than that, I am very pleased with it and I can use it for my open house. I can’t wait to see what others think of it when they first see what I have created.
