This is the tic tac toe  and the true or dare game that our group made for Liam. There are "brain" and "scissors" tickers in it so that they can attract people's eyes. We made the borders and the box with straight lines. The tic tac toe was made from pink and blue and the box was made with yellow papers so they look peaceful and happy. We can this game simple and easy to play, you can play with two people or more and we hope that Liam would enjoy our games.

my favorite daily object sketches

These are my favorite daily object sketches, I really like them because they look funny. They also represent my life somehow : study, play sports and injured, music, and die. I still need to improve my drawing skill because they don't look like an apple. Anyway I still really proud of these artworks.

 

My favorite art journals

These are my favorite art journals, one is about my career in the future and one is about my favorite place that I really want to go. I like these art journals because I had chance to write and draw my feelings, my dream throughout these artworks. About the career art journal, I like it because I really proud of the suit that I drew and I also want to be a success business man in the future. With the favorite place art journal, I like it because London is the place that I really want to go there since I was a little boy because I had watched lots of movies that were made in England and the buildings, people, places there really attracted me.

Final project artist statement

I'm 100% Asian, both my parents are Vietnamese and either my relatives and I really proud of my ethnicity. Vietnamese art has a long and rich history, the earliest examples of which date back as far as the Stone Age. Vietnamese art undoubtedly absorbed many Chinese influences. However, it has always retained many distinctively Vietnamese characteristics. Silk painting and woodlblock prints are the most popular type of art of Vietnam. My artwork represents the animal that represents Asia, the panda, pandas also relates to racism (black, white and live in Asia). I used a little shade, tint in my artwork and actual texture. About the colors, I used primary and secondary color palettes. Firstly, I created a background wash with three random colors and a shape of my country in yellow. After that, I draw a panda in circle and then painted it with black and white water color. Finally, I draw a yellow hat which means a hat made from leaf ( a symbol of Vietnamese tradition) on a panda. This artwork of mine represents racism and my culture so I really proud of it. When people first look at my artwork, the panda would attract them first and then the country and the hat because of black and white color are in the middle and stand out from this artwork. If I have chance, I would do my artwork again because I need change the background into colors that represent racism or Asian. Anyway, I'm still really proud about my artwork and I have learned about no racism after making this project.

#1 Art critique

This is Semaj's artwork and its name is "The scream face". My impression when I first saw this picture is the Nike shirt and then the basket because I like playing basketball and wear Nike clothes also. The thing that also leads my eyes around from place to place is the sky and the birds. This artwork excited me, makes me want to play basketball immediately. I will rename this artwork into "Your face when you just saw a crossover". The colors in this artwork are used perfectly, the background is painted with blue so it's a good weather to play basketball. I think Semaj recreated this artwork because it's funny, relates to our daily life when we scream at something that excited us. Finally, I think this artwork is creative and meaningful.

Color Project

"The Scream" is one of the most famous art pieces in the world, and almost everybody knows about it. This artwork was created by a Norwegian artist, Edvard Munch. I choose to recreate this artwork because I think it's funny and relates to my student life. This artwork shows my student life when I have bad grades. The original name of this artwork is "The Scream", but I renamed it into "The F Scream". I also changed the colors of the artwork from dark to bright colors. I want bright colors because it looks young and happy, just like student life. Even though the person in this artwork is screaming, the bright colors still shows us something funny. I used primary and secondary colors in my artwork. For doing this artwork, I changed a lot, not only the colors, but also changed the background with an F grade. I painted it with water color and some oil pastels. At first, I used black paint to draw a screaming person and the F paper. Then I colored the background and the person with water color because it's easy to paint. Finally, I added some accessories on the person such as golden watch, bracelet, etc. I worked really hard on the project, making sure every detail was the way I envisioned it. I did it the way that I did because that made the most sense to me, and it felt like that way had the most impact.
