Project #1 : Introduction to The Elements of Art - Getting to know yourself– Student Self Portrait1/27/2023 As we switch our classes this semester, I am ecstatic to begin my class with Ms.Schaetzle. Our first project of the brand-new semester is a student self-portrait. When seeing this assignment I can assure you that I was excited to start working. In this project, I learned the elements of art, and how there’s so much more than just lines and shapes. For starters, this project allows me to have one side with realism and the other side with my hobbies and characteristics. With that being said, on the right side of my project, we see the realism side. We see shapes that create my facial features, and value to make them come alive. When looking past my facial features, the hair contains a texture that represents my curly hair. Then, when you look to the left side at my characteristics and hobbies we can see elements such as color and spacing. When using these elements correctly, helps my project become even better. In this art piece, the small details are what make it.
Going off of this, this assignment was something that is supposed to be personal to us, by adding small details that make us into the young individual we are. For instance, we see both the Puerto Rican, and Colombian flags. These both represent my ethnicity and where I am from. Being Puerto Rican and Colombian is one of my favorite things about myself. I love being a part of this culture, and to see the countries themselves is beautiful. I am forever proud of my origins, and still to this day learn more and more about them. We also see a softball and a softball bat. I added both of these items because I am very passionate about playing softball. Without it in my life, I would be completely and utterly a different person. The sport itself has brought me many lessons, and many bonds that I will have forever. Because of this, I added the “P” because it is known as the Pirates logo. The Pirates is an organization I play for. The girls I have met, and the coaches have brought me so much joy and created more love for the game. I then added the #7, not only because it is my softball number, but because it is my lucky number. The angel number 777 means "The path ahead can become challenging, but the message is to keep a positive outlook to overcome anything." So, whenever I see the number 7, or 777 I am always reminded of this quote to stay positive throughout any obstacle. I also added a butterfly with a semicolon. Butterflies are frequently used to represent natural development and metamorphosis, beginning as a caterpillar and evolving into vivid, colorful bugs with the ability and freedom to fly. This demonstrates that we may always adapt and progress into something better. An example of this is me taking these small things and making them a reality is my goal to become a nurse. My mom is someone who is a great role model to me. Seeing her be an Ultrasound Technician inspires me every day to help those around me. I understand that nursing is more bedside manner, so I strive to become a nurse and be there to help those in need. In my drawing, I have the symbol for nursing, next to my heart for my family. I did this specifically because my family inspires me every day and supports me in my dreams. I hope to make them proud by accomplishing these dreams and making them a reality. Another small heart we see, next to the butterfly, is a heart for my friends. I did that purposely because my friends always allow me to grow. They always tell me when I’m in the wrong and are always there for me when I need them. They truly are very important to me, and I hope to keep them in my life forever. Lastly, the last few items on my creation are the star for the Dallas Cowboys, and the logo for New York Yankees. I truly am die-hard for both of these teams. Win or lose I will always represent! My favorite thing about watching these games is being able to watch them with my dad. It’s so much fun yelling at our TVs or talking about the game. I also have earbuds on my drawing because I love listening to music. It’s truly an escape from the real world, and I have over 5,000 hours on my Spotify. In conclusion, this art project was fun to make. I hope to see something as exciting, or even more exciting when continuing to take this course.
