"Record for God": I really enjoyed this project because it was able to bring together my faith and my art. This project was suppose to represent the "rough waves" of life, but everything can be overcome through Christ.
"Climbing": I really liked this project because it is easy to relate too. At many points in high school, I have felt like I was struggling to make it to the next step, but I always got there--I was made it to the blooming flowers.
"Trial and Error": This project was probably the one that defined my art experience the best. No matter what project I was working on, it always took plenty of planning time and a few tries to get it right.

FAVORITE ART PIECES: (See left)
FAVORITE MEMORY OF ART: My favorite joke of art class is the fact that I never managed to graduate from Art 1. Even when I was a senior in Art 4, I was in the Art 1 class. I think I basically took Art 1 four times.
FAVORITE ARTIST AND ART GENRE: My favorite artist would have to be Vincent Van Gogh because I love the complexity of his brush strokes. My favorite art piece is actually by Van Gogh and it is called "Sunflowers".
PREFERRED MEDIUM/MEDIA: My preferred medium is watercolor and chalk pastel. These two are always by go to for Art Dates because they are always able to complete the vision within my head.
