Earth art for me is something that you can make only with things that are already made for you, and can only see them outside of the house. During the project I developed new skills. A new skill that I discover was, me finding different material and media to make something else that is living. I did like that I can use different things to make this art piece, out of things that I did not realize I can use for different things. I engaged with my out of the box mind. I used materials that was all around me, that I did not know I can use to make something beautiful. I explored different parts of my neighborhood. I used rocks from my front yard. I used the leaves form my neighbors. I used the pine leaves and sticks from a tree that I use to draw from. Earth art should not be something that you are made to be doing but something to learn and the desire to do it again. Doing my artwork I developed skills. I have developed how to use the tools to make the different patterns in the cup. I have to see where and where not to put the pattern, because it may break other indents and will make me restart the whole project again. I had different problems along the way. One of the problems I had was when I cutted a really then triangle and broke the tip, but I quickly got the glue and hold it until it was glued. The biggest problem I had was when I was adding the rose at the top of the other cup. I got tape and glue. I put the glue on and put the rose on top of it, then I put tape at the side of the rose so it will have support so it won't fall over. I let the glue dry and finally, when it was done I took the tape off and it was all done. I used different inspiration to make my piece. I wanted something that represented beauty. The only flower that I love is a rose and I just wanted to do something out of it before, so it was my day to make a rose made of something unusual.
My abstract was inspired of our emotions, the color we had, and the positive group members we had. I observed that with the environment we had, we brought colors out and just positive vibes. We used different colors to make our art piece pop out and standout than other groups. My abstract artwork developed art making skill. While doing the artwork we used many tools like the scrapping one and of the dotted tool for the textures we wanted to use. During the artwork we just made things move smoothly. We made different patterns and looks, to just make everything show who we are. Artist Statement |

I like to take photos of different landscape. Like to paint outside so that nobody can distract me. I take my time on my artwork. I try my best to show my abilities through my artwork to show how I am.
