Heart

This piece is a painting of a heart and the word LOVE spelled out within the heart! I thought this piece was really fun to make. It was cool using light colors and it was simple but came out pretty nice. I really enjoyed going back to paint because I hadn't done a painting piece in a long time.

Flowers in Bloom


This is a chalk pastels drawing of flowers. I really liked this project a lot and I thought it turned out really well. I really thought it was fun blending the colors together and finding color schemes that go together 

Tyger Woods




This ink drawing is a drawing of Tyger Woods. I did this drawing because I wanted to make it for my brother and I thought it would be cool to use ink pen techniques to make it. I thought the outcome turned out really well and I thought it was really good :)

Music Albums



I made both these album pieces for a present for Zach. I didn't really think they would be good enough to put as a art project but when I got done I had taken alot of time into the pieces and I thought they looked pretty good. So I decided to make them my 3rd project of the 3rd quarter. Both of these Music albums are both Zach's favorite bands thats why I created it.

Connor Crest


I thought this piece that I made had a lot of meaning. This piece represents my family crest. This crest shows that I am Irish and it shows that I am proud of my heritage. I really like creating this piece because I learned alot about my past and other such things. It was a very different art subject I have done before but I thought it was still pretty cool and a different twist

Sun Set


I really liked doing this piece because I love using a variety of colors. I love seeing sunsets and I really like working on my skills on blending color so I thought sunsets would help that skill. I really loved doing the piece it was a lot of fun.

Passion within Art

I have many passions within Art. One of my passions within Art is that I love doing it. Art lets me express what I am feeling. Art shows emotion and caring in something you dream about. My passion in art when I was little was always drawing my family and naming the stick people my dad or my mom and so on. When I was little I told you what I loved right out but when I grew older, I found other things to show how I love something in more of advanced way. When I grew older I got more detailed in face features of people instead of stick people. An example of face features would be my Grease drawing I did last quarter. When I grew older I realized there is a wider variety of art then just drawing. I learned how to oil paint, water paint, oil pastels, charcoal pencils, scratch paper, etc. I learned that people can make a living out of art like Leonardo Da Vinci, Andy Warhol, Vincent Van Gogh, etc. I learned that their are different styles of drawing like scratch drawings or ink drawings. There are so many more arts and crafts that I have not been able to explore but I love that I get to do what I love during advanced art. I can't wait to learn no things and get better at art.
