I finished my third and final piece!!! Sorry for just now getting a picture up.

This is my second piece!!! I absolutely loved how it turned out. Can't wait to start working on my third piece.

I've finished my second piece! Yay! I finished it last night and I let it dry during the night. I didn't have time to take a picture of it this morning but pictures are coming soon. The background of the painting is a light blue. In the middle of the painting are swirls that drip down paint towards the bottom and top. I can't wait to show you!

I recently have not worked on my second piece:( I am making a promise to myself that I will this week. Honestly I've had a few distractions. Last weekend, I had to go to Andalusia for Easter, and it was chaotic. This week I've had cheer clinic Tuesday and Wednesday. Yesterday I had mock tryouts for cheer, and today I have the actual cheer tryouts. I am so nervous. Wish me luck!

Recently I've been working on my second piece of abstract art. I'm aiming to do this piece totally different from the first piece I did. I have painted the background of the canvas a soft blue with acrylic paint. I plan to make further splotches of color towards the center of the canvas. I will be working on this piece some this weekend and some next week. Can't wait to see how it turns out!

I am finished with my first piece!!!! I used oil pastels to mix the different colors. This piece of abstract art is a mixture of different colors swirled around one center point. I love all of the colors that make this piece seem so happy!

I started working on my first abstract piece on Wednesday. I am using oil pastel on canvas. The piece consists of a combination of different colors. All of the colors in the piece swirl around a fixed point in the center. I've finished about half of this first piece. I plan to work on it more this weekend and hopefully finish it.

Today I worked on this sketch of abstract art! The background is painted with water color and I drew the designs with a really good black pen. This sketch helped me get inspired for my upcoming canvas piece.

I chose to do abstract art because I love creating art! I have been taking art lessons with Mrs. Smith for two years now and hopefully next year too. The only problem I have when painting is that my hand starts cramping up. I have to stop painting for a while to let my hand rest so I can paint again. I am going to start painting next week and get the supplies this weekend.

Proposal: Abstract Art

I will be creating abstract art pieces during my 20% time.

Needs and Opportunities

I will need paint and canvases in order to complete this project. I am going to set up a Google account for my blog. I have a camera that I can take pictures of the paintings with. I will upload these photos to my blog.

Audience / Clients / Users                                                                                     

The audience I will be presenting to is my classmates. I hope to see interests in art from them as I present my pieces to them.

Mentors

My mom will need to take me to the store to get canvases and paint. She already said she would be happy to do that. My art teacher might be willing to help if I need it. I know she would gladly let me use any art supplies. This project will not need a lot of assistance.

Conclusion

I am super excited about this project! I love to paint, draw, and color. You should approve this project because I think it will be interesting for my classmates to see different art pieces. I look forward to working on this project!
