This was a third and final addition to my portait color series. Instead of water color, I used acrylic as a painting medium. The goals were identical to the two other pieces in the series in which I would set out to paint realistic portaits using only primary colors as a palette base for my models skin tones and color.
Formal Critique of Studio Product:
Originally, I wanted this piece to be a portait of two fictional people from my own Imagination. However, later after much contemplating, I realized that I wanted to

I later changed my mind while planning my illustration; wanting to create multiple different settings instead of one. However, I believe I still got my point across with not just the surrealism inserted into every illustrated square, but the detail I included into the drawing as well. I tried to incorporated thin line strokes to establish shading and texture with technique pen ink. This specific style was inspired by artist Brett Helsquist (more widely known as the illustrator for the children book series the series of unfortunate events) who played an important role in inspiring creatively in me when I was younger. I also chose to incoperated color with water color on the people that dwelled in each picture, keeping the consistent theme of bright skin tones in both this work and my last …show more content…
I learned that while I do a good job in self managing my time in class and at school for my projects, I could work on better communication with my art teacher. Throughout the trimester I realized that it’s okay to ask for help and advice when I’m unsure about my work, even though I think I might not need to. In additon, time management in terms of balancing time for art projects and academics outside of school is another challenging area where I could work on practicing. Before Independent art, I never felt like I was challenged enough with the art classes in my older school. I never considered (to the point that I do now) the importance of time management in the process of creating art because I considered many of the assigned projects to be small and easy. Even outside of school, I rarely work on a deadline for any paintings or drawings. I hope that I can take what I learned and practiced it so I can apply it to future art classes or future career paths that I many

Unit 10 was a closure for the previous four units in the process of inventing Canada. This unit based on the earliest resources on Canadian history and on the first nations whom lived in this country. This resources were about pre-Cartier and his explorations. Some nations, for example the people who lived in St. Lawrence valley – whom did not have a specific name to be called at- and historians still lacking enough evidence on their existence or what happened with them. These people who are identified as St. Lawrence Iroquoians were lived in the contact area which means the conquerors reached them first. The Iroquoians were exposed to all the dangers Europeans carried into the native lands, different types of diseases they were not immune
Throughout the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, it is apparent that there are similarities as well as differences when it comes to portraying the life and times of Jesus the Christ, the general descriptions of who Jesus was, and the sayings and deeds of Jesus during his short stay on this earth. Scripture scholars highlight that each Gospel writer viewed Jesus from a different perspective.
Next is the use of color, or lack thereof. The colors in the background are very quiet and muted, mostly subdued blues and grays with hints of a deep red and brownish yellow peeking though. The colors used for the figure are browns and tans, almost as if the was painted with mud, like she is all-natural and from the earth. The range of colors would seem to have a cool tone if you were looking at them on a painter’s palette but the arrangement of color on the canvas gives the piece a warm feeling.
Teenage Son has borrowed parent’s car one evening. First, he dropped by his girlfriend's house to pick her up but once there met with considerable resistance from her parents. Her father stood menacingly in front of the car as your son started the engine, and your son, not one to be intimidated, yelled out the window that he would run over her father if he did not get out of the way. The father, who doggedly stood his ground until the last possible moment, barely escaped injury when he finally jumped aside.
Jane’s childhood struggle of losing her mother prepared her for her future struggles. She constantly had a church family to rely on growing up to strengthen her faith. Jane worked hard and had a good education; it was all preparing her for her later work. God strengthened her love and faith while she worked as a girls’ matron, and she displayed this love in her sacrificial death. God used Jane Haining’s life for His glory, and He prepared her for it through each stage of her life.
Although student-athletes are noticed, scouted and recruited by colleges for their athletic abilities, the colleges’ main priority, to educate the students, does not change. According to Krikor Meshefejian, “[this is] the main problem with paying student-athletes… it is not the college’s primary function” (“Pay to Play”). However, when debating pay for play in college sports an individual must consider the hypocrisy of the current system. One could question the colleges’ chief concern when they look at the scheduling of games, as well as game times. The National College Players Association argues that the N.C.A.A. could do a better job at not scheduling games during the week when classes are in session because this stresses student-athletes scholastically (“College Athletes”). Unfortunately, many people that oppose college athletes being paid have ignored the underhanded ways of the N.C.A.A., as well as the colleges when they state what their central goals are with student-athletes. According to the New York Times, “Last August, [federal] Judge Claudia Wilken ruled against the N.C.A.A. and in favor of O’Bannon, who argued that college athletes should be paid for their names, images and likenesses” (“ N.C.A.A.”). This ruling is a gigantic stride in the right direction. Because of the requirements, the revenue produced and the restrictions, college athletes deserve to be paid.
Using some simple time management skills can give the student the ability to complete tasks without feeling overwhelmed. Insufficient communication between myself and the school also crippled my studies. Over this course, I’ve learned to excel as a student the importance of new time management skills. The transition although stressful is exciting and eye opening. It's a completely different experience versus the typical college classes I was involved in when I enrolled in traditional college after high school. I will admit I am disappointed in myself this course for falling behind, being side tracked I’m unsure how far behind I’ve become. There’s one thing this has taught me and that’s discipline with my schedule because I find it's easy to get
Time management is very important to learn throughout the Freshman Composition class. There are many deadlines to meet, and with all of my classes focusing on a deadline driven career it can be very difficult to keep everything straight, and some weeks it feels like the work is too much, but even though there were many obstacles this semester, they made me all the stronger. Meeting deadlines can always be a challenge and it is very important to keep everything on track lest the assignments be derailed, I found that writing important things I needed
The fall months can be a stressful, but rewarding time for me. Being a member of the dance team and marching band often takes up a majority of my time outside of school. Many days of the week, difficult homework assignments were a part of my daily workload; these nights often became tiring and stressful. At times, all these activities imparted a large amount of stress for me, and posed challenged me to be successfully in all activities. In order to succeed through this difficult period, my time management skills were necessary. I learned to prioritize different assignments and projects in order to complete them in a timely fashion by setting long and short term goals. Through my time management skills, I learned that all obstacles, big or small,
One things that keep me from being successful in college is time management. Time management is a big issue because I remember I never use my time wisely. I never get a change to give myself time where I can enjoy my life and have fun. Whenever school started I became a stressful person because I wouldn't stop thinking how I’m going to finish my work. I also thought of how I wasn't going to pass the class. It's a stressful season for me. I remember back from my sophomore years in high school, I never finish my work on time. I didn't spend to much time on studying because I was too busy doing other things rather than spend time doing my homework and studying. Yes, maybe I need to take break from doing my homework, but taking break can also
For me, being able to manage my time wisely is a must. Every week I have a schedule that I try to stay as close too as possible. The problem is most of the time something happens to throw me off schedule and I find myself playing catch up. If I didn’t have the schedule already in place then I would never get anything done. “ the first step toward more effective time management is to increase awareness of its value” (Lucco, 1994). Time management is a lot easier in my private life because my family understands what I am trying to accomplish. Everyday I start my assignments at 4:30 and finish at 7:30 with no distractions. They understand that if I work during the week we can play on the weekends.
This is a digital art piece of Kavacy that I got from my tumblr. It’s a digital painting of Kaniki from the anime Tokyo Ghoul. I like this piece I particular because the different aspects of the show you can find just for noticing the small details. The hair was the first thing I noticed. The artist used thick slightly faded lines to define the over all shape of the hair. Then as he went along he began using thick solid strokes to fill in the hair in the back and thin solid strokes to show the individual strands of hair in the front. He did this to show that these strands held more dominance. I enjoy how the artist gave the whole picture that cold gritty and solemn feel. It makes the piece very alluring with the center being the primary focus
Understanding that making time for one is not only useful for academic purposes, but for entertainment purposes as well.
This paper is a work of self-examination to find out what influenced my development from birth to this my 56th year. I will delve into my past and try to honestly and without judgment describe what events and actions led me to become the person I am today. I will look at the way in which the culture and family I grew up in build the frame-work of the person I have evolved into.
