For my Parson’s Challenge, I decided to use one of the more personal pieces in my portfolio; my fashion illustration collage. This collage is a layout of several of my original designs inspired by my mother.
When I was born, my parents made the tremendous sacrifice to leave me in China while they returned to the United States to finish graduate school. I never fully understood how big and difficult this choice would be for my then-new parents to leave their two month old daughter nearly 7,000 miles away from where they were. A few months ago, I found a diary my mother kept while she was in Texas back in 2001, featuring a collection of emotions and dialogues between phone calls with my grandparents and I, along with some sketches of me from photos. These diary entries inspired me to create a piece dedicated to my mom’s sacrifice all those years ago.

Instead, she always supported my love and desire to become an artist, leading me to actively explore my creative limits through drawing and painting classes. By creating the collage, I wanted to express my mother’s love through my art, and I incorporated a blend of light and dark colors influenced by my image of her personality and identity. I brought out the blue tones in this piece not only to add contrasting colors, but to also signify the peace and wisdom found in my mother’s character. Furthermore, I researched different flowers and their meanings to add into the piece, bringing life and beauty into the
My real age test placed me at 38.4 years old, just .9 under my actual age of 39. Apparently, I am doing what is necessary to maintain my age. The survey pointed out a number of things I am doing well, most notably are, my cholesterol level, which is quite low, my solid sleep schedule, which enables me to get 7 hours or more a night, having a healthy amount of sex, a solid social life with friends and family, life perspectives that reduce stress, and experiencing few financial difficulties all help me stay younger. Additionally, eating nuts, having breakfast regularly, minimizing red meat, and maximizing frequency of eating fish all contribute to reducing my “RealAge”. However, there are a number of things I can do to decrease my RealAge.
I, Deputy Gough received a call reference a white Ford truck driving in the Gamester trailer court all over the roadway. Upon my arrival I spoke with David Vore and Jennifer Vore. Jennifer Stated that Randy was the driver of the white Ford truck that said, “All Good Construction.” David and Jennifer both stated that they saw the truck drive through the yard hitting a slow child at play sign and the stop sign.
Over my years of school, one big influence on me has always been sports. Ever since a young age, I have always enjoyed playing and watching sports. In my four years in high school, I have fell in love with the sport of lacrosse.
The pencil liberates my stresses and sorrows. Bare and unimpeded, my mind is able to isolate itself from anything that was happening in my life. At my art table, which is merely an escape from reality, my curiosity is able to wander. Within this room, five blank canvas's look in on me as I become a mold of my imagination. A step inside my world develops into a sea of color and exploration. The vibrancy of the walls resonates throughout. Over the years, my room has served as my oasis. It’s my escape from monotonous and mundane routines. It’s my exploration of another side of me. I observe such works of art almost as much as I create. Taking notice of my classmates’ innovations and inspired by their creativity, my paintbrush begins to alleviate stress. I strive to produce pieces others will appreciate, but often find myself to be the true admirer. My pride, in this world, is driven simply by my own curiosity to express myself. I credit this side of me as the “passion” that supplements my insane drive for success. This passion has sparked critical thinking in me as well as how I see failure. Life is a blank canvas and you can truly draw whatever you want, and if you fail, you start over and don’t make that same mistake again! Hard work takes ideas quite far, but true success is derived from ingenuity and the generation of
I woke up and took one bite out of my pop tart but that one bite was all I could eat. My legs were shaking, and my heart was pounding. My dad told me, “It is a true honor to even make it this far so go out there and have some fun.” Once I heard this statement, I knew I was ready to go. I arrived at school and boarded the bus. The car ride was an hour and fifteen minutes of hearing the squeaking of the wheel on the bus. My teammates were getting their heads ready for the big game.
Her father’s words echoed through her head as one might hear a reverberation throughout the Taj Mahal. Continuous. Chilling. Having no control to distill the wavelengths until they mellowed out on their own accord. She tried to anatomize the depth of his phrase, more than dutifully needed but Davina needed to know why. Why did she need to keep an open mind and more importantly, who the hell was about to come bursting through that door. But then again, did it really matter in the first place. When she thought about it, the brunette could have laughed at the idea. That an unattributed, faceless figure had her panties in a bunch. Surely Dominic wouldn’t think to waste her time with venial diversions,
Prior to finishing my final piece I discovered how nostalgia and the recycling of materials is typical in art, especially amongst artists inspired by the past. Research on modern artists such as Doxey, inspired me to paint a chair to accompany my cushions. Further examination on a collection of art movements for example, Classicism, and Neoclassicism influenced my perceptions of art. Further research on the likes of Van Gogh, especially his piece, Dutch, 1853–1890, which inspired me to experiment with gouache, acrylics, and colour palate

The work is a colorful representation of the past as well as the future showing all aspects of life. There was no detail information on this collage of title work other than the name, but it spoke to me and I had to share this with the class. If you didn’t know anything about art, this work would get your attention and show you the past and take you forward into today. The complimentary colors used in this display has a smooth earthly tone, but as you view the artwork it has a very pleasant, comforting feel as you view the mellow soft colors displayed in this design. This type of work has vivid elements, it really get your
I created this collage to convey my hopes for the future and regrets from the past. I want to create a life superior to what I may have been destined for, bringing myself to a higher level than my parents, and paving the way for my future children. Self-improvement is the story of my past and the key to my future.
We had to make an art piece based on the images that we included in our collage. You could say thta the main theme was ‘the current waves of our society’. This task let me explore different mediums that could be used for art and I tried to keep creative with the choices: I used the usual mediums like pencil crayons, and acrylic paints and experimented with things like glitter and nail varnish. Although this task was not the task that made me discover my favourte medium, or the one that made me the most inspired, it was a satisfactionary
Mary Molyneaux’s mixed media paintings occupy the space between abstraction and representation. Multiple layers of acrylic, collage, and ink are applied. The result is the creation of subtle surfaces made up of soft colors, vibrant shapes and lines. The “Channeling Romare” series is a tribute to the collage artist, Romare Bearden. This is a multiple layered collage with a figure set against a background, suggesting a garden scene.
Although life may not follow through as beautifully and perfectly as one plans, one should appreciate and enjoy life’s gifts no matter the imperfections that humanity tends to discover. Such message encapsulates the following images in the collage: the odd-looking statue on the far right, flowers, green tree, group
I wanted Leanna to create and show either a picture or memory through her collage but I wasn’t sure how to word it. In the end, we looked through the Romare Bearden: Collage of Memories book to infer what inspired Bearden to create his collages. This book proves great visuals and illustrations of the collages Bearden has created. It also includes information about him and his artwork. Showing Leanna, the diversity of Bearden’s collages really helped her get inspired to create her own collage. It also inspired me to create a fun and appropriate lesson plan for Leanna. This teaching experience showed me the importance of art in public schools. If more schools provide students of all ages with art classes students will be more inspired and ready to learn. Art classes are therapeutic and beneficial to students and after two hours of math, creating art would be
