This is a micrography portrait of Gandhi; a micrography is where you trace your person’s outline on a blank paper and then fill in the lines with words (or quotes) that describe them. I did it in pencil and then outlined each words. Three words that I use a lot are respected, admirable and of course, devoted.

Abstract Expressionism
In our art class, we did our own rendition of Mark Rothko’s work that include large scale pastel drawings of vibrant as well as dull colors. This is my version using complementary colors red and green- the Sad Apple.
Personal Flag
For our first art assignment of the year, we were to create a flag that describes ourselves so that it can be compiled in to one giant string of flags to represent our class. Mine involves many musical notes since I love music so much, and, blue stripes since I love to go to the beach every day.
Map of The Interlopers
Inspired by American Gothic Art
Our class was assigned to do a recreation of American Gothic Art from the 30’s. We created two people side by side, any of our choosing, in front of the house. We basically did the same thing as the Gothic Art except with different people. I shove an angel and a devil for my creation. Once finished with our draft, all we did was copy it to our final draft paper and color it in.
Jamerson’s World
Our class was assigned to do a recreation of Andrew Wyeth’s Christina’s World. We sketched our first draft on scratch paper and once we were sure our drawing was good. I used colored pencil as opposed to water colors as we then copied it onto final draft paper. This is Jamerson’s World.
The Blood-Red Sun
This is our own recreation of Improvisation 31 by Vassily Kandinsky. The original piece was originally done with tissue paper and water colors; we did ours with tissue paper on construction paper. We were supposed to show a tragic event that happened in history so I chose Pearl Harbor. My picture shows the blood-run sun that Pearl Harbor was under when the Japanese attacked.
It’s Not a Nose, it’s a Hose!
For this project we were supposed to write a simile or metaphor and draw the literal meaning of it. One example would be is ‘his nose is so big, it can be seen from space!’ Of course Cyrano’s nose couldn’t actually be seen from space as the hyperbole means that his nose his nose is very big.
Pie Town
In preparation for Pi Day, 7th grade drew little pictures with water colors involving clever ways to show pi, mathematically and the food. On the actual Pi Day which is on March 14 or 3-14. We ate all different kinds of pie during math time and did some hands on problems involving pi. You find pi by dividing the circumference of a circle by its diameter and even if the circumference isn’t measure exactly it will always be around 3.14. My picture is of Pie Town! Yum!
Visual Poetry: Now I’m Gone
As an art project, we were assigned to write a three lined poem and break each line into one box. We then skimmed through magazines to find pictures that matched the mood and setting of our poem. We cut out the pictures and glued the poem on top of them and there you have visual poetry.
