strength within weakness

Acrylic paint on painting paper

Artist Statement:
I made this because it has a strong meaning behind it that some people might understand. The meaning is pushing through the darkest times to get to the greatest times. As a kid I had this uncle that was like a dad to me because I never really had a dad so when he died it was hard on my family. The flower stands for him or for loved ones that had died and was hard for family members. Making this was sort of a struggle only because of the colors. I didn't want to add a 50/50 kind of color so it didn't seem so even but as I looked at this I felt I did good. It was hard to blend the colors because I've never really done it before but as I went on I taught myself how to.

Artist Statement:
This art work I tried my hardest on because I relate to it so much. As a girl you may have gotten told 'you can't do that you are a girl.' I get told that almost everyday by people who think doing things is just for boys or doing something just for girls. You can think of this art as something different and think of it as a male body cause I also know that guys get told that they can't do something they love because it's for girls. I found this one the most touching out of all them because of how it was and how anyone and everyone can relate to it.

Artist Statement:
My piece is called Broken. My piece was based off of what normal teens go through. I tried to get the meaning across, even when you’re hurt you can get through it. It will take time “to get over something that has been bothering you,” but soon you will get better and you can say that it was nothing to be hurt over. The inspiration behind my artwork is, in the past, I didn’t have very good friends and they weren’t so nice. I kept them as a friend because I didn't have any other friends. I finally let go of those friends and it hurt knowing that I won’t be their friend anymore especially with all the good memories that we had. When making my art piece I just wanted to make a normal heart with nothing going on in it. I started playing around with some of my art tools and started to get more detailed. I had many problems because this art piece was out of my comfort zone and I have never done something like this. I am proud of the accomplishments I have made with this project.
