1. For the art criticism process you first must describe the art, so you would basically explain what the art looks like. Next you would analyze the art work, meaning you explain the elements of the art work. Then you interpret the artwork, which is when you figure out what the mood or feeling is being conveyed by the artwork. Lastly you judge the artwork. What is your opinion of it and why? 2.-Is copying always plagiarism or is there a gray area? Explain your thoughts. I think that is depends on the circumstances. Most of the time they teach us in school that plagiarizing is stealing someones work and claiming it as your own, which is true, but copying is not always plagiarizing. I have seen many people recreate famous works of art such as Starry Night by Vincent van Gough, which is copying the original, but the artists are not claiming the idea as their own. Say some random person painted an exact replica of the Mona Lisa and claimed that it was an original piece of art, the would be plagiarizing, but if they painted an exact replica and then said that they were inspired by the Mona Lisa then that would be copying, which is okay in this case. -What are some reasons why artists make art? There are many reasons as to why artist make art, some make art to cope with life struggles, while others do it cause they have fun with it. Van Gough was locked up in a mental hospital when he painted starry night, his was of dealing with being crazy was to paint, all the time. This is not always the case though. I know many people who just like to draw, paint, and make pottery because its just what they like to do. Lots of artist do art to raise awareness about certain causes. Lots of people will hire artists to make art installations to show support of things they believe in. _What is the point of this class? What did you get out of it? While I am not so great at art, I took this class because I like drawing, painting, and sculpture. I believe that the point of this class is to teach us the basics of art, and in my case it helped me to prepare for future art classes at Apex High School. While in this class I can tell I improved my are a lot. Looking back at my first pencil drawing to my recent sketches, its crazy to see how much my art has changed even if it doesn't feel like it. Art Critique This piece of art looks very bright and multicolored. The colors are almost all in the cool color scheme with the exclusion of some pinks and dark reds, those being the ears and mushrooms. In the foreground we see a white rabbit wearing a waist coat and jacket, holding a golden pocket watch. In the background we see an assortment of mushrooms, trees and a tea party. In the upper left corner there is the face of The Cheshire Cat.
The lines in this art work are soft, rather then harsh, and all of the colors blend together to create a calming, mesmerizing look. There is a large variety in shapes and sizes of things in both the background, and the foreground. The watercolor paint style gives this piece the main pastel, but bright vibe. While the main focus of this piece is the rabbit, you cannot help but look at landscape which helps bring harmony to the piece. The mood of this piece, in my opinion is calming. When you look at you don't feel fear or sadness. The story in the piece is that The White Rabbit was checking his pocket watch, because he's always late, while there is a tea party going on behind him (which he is late for) and the Cheshire Cat is watching him. This piece of art is semi-successful, meaning that it turned out okay, but I would have changed some things. I would have loved to see more texture on the rabbit, using probably a dry brush technique, because he's looking really basic. I also would have changed the angle of his legs because they don't go with the angle of the rest of his body.

I used 5 techniques to create this mixed medium art piece. The first I used was tissue paper. The background in many shades of blue, pink, and purple, which was done by tearing tissue paper and pasting it down. The second medium I used was marker/sharpie. I used silver sharpie to draw the face and gold sharpie to add some details like dots in the hair and eyelashes. Then I used paint to add hair. I wanted her hair to have a semi-galaxy vibe so I mixed silver with blue, purple, and black creating a unique color. I later decided to cut out letters from magazines spelling out the lyrics from a song this art was based on. Lastly I added random glitters throughout the piece, which is subtle but you can see it in some places like the hair. My prompt was lyrics from a song you like so I chose the song Drops of Jupiter by Train, which is one of my all time favorites. a (very blurry) up close of the hair line
