For the style project I used my own unique ideas in my work to create a drawing of the word "Liebe". Liebe means love in German, just like Robert Indiana made the sculpture of the word "love" in New York. I did use a source of inspiration for this piece of art because I used Robert Indiana's idea of the word love, and made it my own because my neighbor is from Germany and speaks German so that is where I got the idea to use the German word for love.

Artists Communicate Through Their Work.
For the color project I painted an ocean with a sunset. This painting is intended to say or make the viewer happy because the ocean and sunset make me happy because I love the beach. The issues I was examining through my artwork was the fact that the details in the waves did not turn out as I planned it on the paper, but it turned out okay because it was a minor detail mistake.This piece of artwork is about me or what I like because I really like to go to the beach and watch the sun set in the distance.
Artists Take Risks
For this color project I definitely tried something I was not so sure about and that was the way the sunset looks like it is dripping down into the sky and the sea. When this first happened it was a mistake and I was going to cover it up, but I decided to keep it and incorporate it into my art work. For the color project I was supposed to use any kind of paint I am not very used to using paint, but i learned a lot new techniques for the water color paint and how to mix the specific color shade or tint that you need. For the warm up we did a different type of technique for using the different types of paint each day. That was very helpful for me when I started my color project.
