Blue Swans
Materials: Fabrics of different colors, Acrylic Paints, Chalk, Cotton
Year: Fall 2020
Class: Advanced Art Studio
Artist Statement:
The meaning behind my artwork is that Latin music doesn't necessarily mean the type of music that is heard today. There is tradition behind each recent song, and with it changes of the tradition. I think I meant it to be more like swan like with the flow of the dresses.
My inspiration was my background, Guatemala. It became even more because I love dancing and music so making artwork based on different musics and dances was very inspirational. I think I was more into it because of the music involved, each very different yet the same in may ways. That is where I got my inspiration.
I chose to create this because there are a lot of different races in this country but it seems that more people are interested into there own unless it is there race. I think some people need to know that there race is not below anyone else. I also chose to create this because this is of my background.

Flamingo Dancers

Artist Statement:
The meaning behind my artwork is that even though it is simple it can become greater and pleasant to watch. Pink is a calm color so I used it in the background and it was part of the Traditional Korean dance. It also symbolizes calmness and a circle of friends.
My inspiration was my love for K-Pop. So I decided to incorporate it into one of my artworks. I wanted to uses actual K-pop into my work but my artwork was to be traditional dance. I also wanted it to not be Chinese Traditional dance so I chose Korean since it is also relates to K-Pop. That is where I got my inspiration.
I chose to create this because I want it to not be Chinese Traditional dance so I chose Korean since it is also relates to K-Pop. I also did this because I felt like I need a calmer color into my art like light pink.

Artist Statement:
The meaning behind my artwork is that colorful can mean calmness. Some people think only one color at a time and light color can be calm. But I think various colors can be calm and soothing to others. My art is to express the motion and movement with the wind and sea of Hawaii. I made it so that I can have a near the ocean artwork of traditional dance.
My inspiration was Moana, not saying that it is Hawaii, but has the traditional and water and waves in it. I also got it from elementary when they would make us dance like ¨Hawaiians dance¨.That is where I got my inspiration.
I chose to create this because I want an ocean part in my collection of art.6

The meaning behind my artwork is the secrets of the traditional art. It means that every dance is meant for a purpose of the traditional people. I chose to use dark colors for the dark secrecy of keeping it traditional.
My inspiration was my background knowledge of African traditions. I also got inspired for needing some dark colored art to contrast the pink. That is where I got my inspiration.
I chose to create this because I had African traditions knowledge and needed some dark colors to contrast the pink and some African background because a lot of history and tradition have African traditions.

Colors, my feelings

The meaning behind my artwork is basically me. The red represents mean and anger. That is what people think that is all I am. The dark blue is like the body or shield that protects and hides my true me. The shades of purples is everything else I feel and think about the world. I think that is what people think of me so that is why I did this artwork. The black is the people that know both sides of me. This could represent anyone though.

Natura Perfide (Nature Untrue)
Medium: Mix Media
Year: Semester one 2019 Art Studio
Artist Statement:
The meaning behind my artwork is well most of it was lost in the process of making it. Originally it was to express my feelings towards my favorite singer. But then I had to have some sort of layering embedded into it. Now it's meaning is that even though days may look all stormy, a certain someone can make the sun shine brighter than before. It also symbolizes that nature will overcome the storm that will hit it soon.
My inspiration was my favorite singer, V. This was also inspired by the poem we did in English. It was about our favorite person and be an extended metaphor. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RgjzynEYhPoty3ASCbClA_RND5Bg-DuaIzHUqFtQTBc/edit
I chose to create this because I wanted to make something that would express what I feel about him.
I used the mix media technique (which includes drawing, painting, paper mache, jelly printing, glitter paint and painting) because we needed to use layering. I also felt like these materials would be cool to experience with and get better at using.

Fake Love
Medium: Mixed Media
Year: Semester two 2020 Art Studio
Artist Statement:
The meaning behind my artwork is that even though you are suffering people might not understand and block you out. They might put a boundary to stop the bad vibe to affect them even though they might be the cause of the sad vibe or sad feelings. The barrier symbolizes the boundary and different bluer color is the fake love. The purple is the sad but true love.
My inspiration was the song Fake Love by BTS and my feelings of sadness during that time. It helped me think of how others feel after being treated differently, badly or mistaken.
I chose to create this because i wanted to express what i was feeling during that time and how others would feel when they went into a situation like mine.
I used the mix media technique. This would include painting, paper, jelly printing, chalk and sharpies. I used this because i wanted to use colorful materials and something with the look of texture but not really.

Cerebrum Divisi: (Mapped Brain)
Medium: Drawing
Year: Semester one 2019 Art Studio
Artist Statement:
The meaning behind my artwork is all the things mental state of a teenage mind. Each color represents a different feeling, emotion, object, it could be anything. Each subject has a space in the brain. Since we value each object differently, I made some spaces in the brain bigger and others smaller. I didn’t label them because not all of our minds are going to like the same things.
My inspiration was my emotions of my crush like what I felt for him and how he felt towards me. Also another inspiration, which is where I originally got the idea from, is a movie I was watching with my dad. The movie was The Island starring Scarlett Johansson,one of my favorite actors. It was about how some guy was making money by creating clones of famous rich people. And they supposedly don't have any feelings but one of them was above what he was supposed to be. That is where I got my inspiration.
I chose to create this because there are a lot of teenagers . I made it so they could identify with what matters most to them and to compare something that should and shouldn't be in their mind at this time of their life. This also represents me because of everything that has been going on lately. I used the drawing and coloring technique because I want to improve my skills in this area.

Exitio Terra (Destroying Earth)
Medium: Drawing
Year: Semester one 2019 Art Studio
Artist Statement:
The meaning behind my artwork is to express what we should know about what we are doing to the earth year by year. Since our human hands is what keeps exploring and inventing new stuff it is what the hand represents humanity. The smaller the hand the smaller impact it has on earth.The bigger like the right symbolizes stronger more impact humanity has on earth.
The golden color on the fingers and hands symbolize the good people trying to do good to earth and try to help keep earth natural. The black on the hands symbolizes the bad not-caring people taking over earth and them not caring how they will impact earth. Since there are shadows around the hands in between the fingers that symbolizes bad people acting like good people. The bigger hand is also ugly looking because it symbolizes what is going to impact earth will leave earth dead with no life to support us.
The bright colorful half of earth is the past of the earth. It was once all healthy with clean fresh air. The water was clean and crystal clear. The continents we green and colorful. The tree represents wildlife, which includes animals and plants and all living organisms. It was healthy too, with a bunch of wildlife roaming. Not even close to extinction. They would roam free not fearing anything but nature and the predators. Then we came along. That is what the small cracks or lines that are at bottom left of the earth symbolizes.
As you go to the future or the bottom right of the earth the cracks get bigger and deeper than before. The right side of the earth is dark and ugly. The continents are brown and mucky looking. The tree has no leaves and it looks dead. That symbolizes wildlife dying and going into extinction. The earth will be lifeless soon if we keep going on the path we are traveling on.
The shadow cast on the left side of the earth are the extinct animals. They are gone. The small flower at the bottom of my artwork represents the very few animals on the edge of extinction.
My inspiration was this one meme picture I saw on snapchat that Jho put on her story. It said something like “ Imagine if trees gave off free wifi. Then we would plant a bunch of them and probably save the earth. To bad they only give off oxygen to help us breath.” And that is where it all started.
I chose to create this because I feel like people don't really know what their impact on earth truly is. I feel like they need more awareness of earth and what it will soon be like if we keep destroying the earth. Hence the name of the artwork, Destroying Earth.
I used the drawing a blending colors technique because this was a new technique I could use and explore on. I could also improve with some practice.

Artist statement:
My artwork is suppose to represent deforestation of trees. The trees are like humanity and itself slowly dying off to the point were we can't survive with out them. This is all being caused by construction and the cutting of the trees. I think this should stop. That is why I did this project. This means a lot to me because I care about trees .I also care about nature. I hope this will inspire others to show what they mean to them and to the world. I hope this makes people stop cutting trees and think about the earth.
