My piece is suppose to look like me, but instead I feel like I look like a potato or Freddy Krueger as told from a friend. By using a pen it helped enhance the structure of my entire face. It was hard to create light and dark shades. I wanted to create something funny, so I looked through my photo album and choose this photograph. At first the piece wasn’t going to have all the little lines on my face, but without them it would be hard to show light and dark areas of my face. I learned that this project take awhile and you have to have a lot of patience.

This artwork is meant to look like a collage of individual flowers using the media ink. What inspired me to choose Alaskan wildflowers was because I wanted to create a theme, so I picked Wildflowers of Alaska.

I created artwork that depicts four different emotions. The emotions I chose to draw are love, confusion, fear, and happiness.

I started out drawing space and it started forming lines that fanned out. It wanted to be an eye. The dark face was just suddenly there in the middle.

My reason for having been interested in wolves is that they had always interested me as a child. I once thought of them as amazing, but now I think of them as beautiful creatures. Something else that I have liked about them, is that they travel in packs. They eat together, travel together and live together as a family. My empty pen project is of a lone wolf howling in the dark of night. A wolf without a family, alone in a world filled with darkness.

I created my name out of flowers because flowers remind me of our beauty and differences. The images I studied to create my drawing I took in my grandparents garden here in Bethel making it even more special to me.

I made this drawing of my name because I thought it would be fun to make it look like it was made of things in my life that I saw before.

I absolutely love the simplicity of the pineapple, but to invigorate or elaborate on the artwork, I chose to put the zentangle design within the pineapple for it to become more of an illusion. I also chose it because I like the pineapple being the main focus, making it look “busy” then creating a more monotone background. The reason I chose to draw a pineapple is because it reminds me of summer and being somewhere tropical.
