Step 1 1. I do things that are easy, that interest me and something that seems different. I do not feel what I do is all that great and that makes it easy for me to do whatever I want. For my most recent piece I just sat down and drew the shapes that came into my mind. I had an image in my mind of what I wanted my piece to end up looking like and I put it together piece by piece until I was satisfied with the way it looked. 2.

There are some things that are easier to use than others but that doesn't really give me a preference over others. b. Just like before my materials usually change from project to project. And I do not have a favorite because there are many materials that I have no used and I could not justify favoring something when I do not know everything out there. c. I like the colors that I use when I do my art. I like the way the colors turn out, and work with the other colors or the lack there of. d. When a piece has turned out really well for me usually it means that it resembles what I had in mind for it. It can also mean that I can't figure out what else to do to it, or if I feel like I do anything else with the piece it will be ruined. e. There is a pattern with the colors I use. I usually use black, or dark colors in that category. f. I do everything the way I was taught, I do not really know another way to do things. g. I like the color black, black is negative, shows no depth and does not require too much background in color study to be able to work more than one color into a piece of art.

5. Positive Space: The areas of an artwork occupied by forms or images; the opposite of negative space

Negative Space: The empty space or seemingly unimportant background space, in an artwork.

6. When I work with black I am reminded that it swallows up all other colors. I begin a piece by looking in the magazines for photos. I know a piece is done when there was nothing else I could do to it that would make it look better,. When my work is going well, I am filled with a sense of accomplishment. When people see my work, I'd like them to like it more than I do.

Step 2

I think that overall the art I make is simple and interesting. I feel as if it is a new kind of idea for me and I am going with it until it gets old. I started out screen printing last year and have continued to do them. I am constantly thinking of new ways make my art, but eventually I believe that I will run out of ideas and have to start something new. I feel like I have developed new ways to give a screen print effect. While neither the pictures or the quotes are my own, I feel like by putting them together I have made a bit of art that is my own. Next time around I am not sure what I will do, but I want it to be something challenging. So far I have painted, which I didn't like, I drew, which was okay, and I have screen printed. I think I will continue to screen print, since it is the most satisfying for me.

Step 4 I think that overall the art I make is simple and interesting. I feel as if it is a new kind of idea for me and I am going with it until it gets old. I started out screen printing last year and have stopped for a little while, but have come back to it since it is one of the most effective ways for me to print. I am constantly thinking of new ways make my art, but eventually I believe that I will run out of ideas and have to start something new. I feel like I have developed new ways to give a screen print effect. While neither the pictures or the quotes are my own, I feel like by putting them together I have made a bit of art that is my own. I think with the colors that I had I managed to make it all work, and that in its own is a pretty good accomplishment. Next time around I am not sure what I will do, but I want it to be something challenging. So far I have painted, which I didn't like, I drew, which was okay, and I have screen printed. I think I will continue to screen print, since it is the most satisfying for me. I like the way I am incorporating photography and literature into my art and maybe I will keep doing the same project idea until something better comes along.
