Evaluating your best work.

In my opinion, my best work was "Drowning", when I tried to use Picasso's style. I drew a painting of alcohol bottles, with a skull, and a fish tank behind it all. It is a collage symbolizing how so many people are drowning themselves with alcohol. I used bright greens and pinks for the bottles to make them jump out at the viewer first, the skull is dark brown and black to resemble death. Then I painting a fish tank in the back ground to show water, and make it like the skull is drowning in alcohol. For the collage, I add actually plants, rocks, and a picture of a fish to give it realism. Also, I put money, bottle caps, and labels from bottles to add to the collage. This was a really fun piece, and enjoyed it a lot.

For my social issue project, I did it on medical healthcare, and why does it cost so much to have. I learned more then have Americans don't have medical help, because they can not afford it. I just think that healthcare should be for everyone, regardless if they have money. I used a lot of red to show all the blood loss from people that don't have healthcare, and make all the writing in bold black. It was my first time attaching printed material to my art work. I think I used to much gloss medium, but with practice, I believe I will get much better.

Taking Personal Responsibility

One goal in my life is to become a Dentist. This is what I am going to school for and finding out it is very difficult, and not that easy to obtain. Obstacles that stand in my way, are room in the class, grades, and money. There are only so many people that can get into the classes I need for achieving my goal. Also, I make pretty good grades with a 3.4, but to be a dentist, I'm told I need a 4.0 to be successful. Lastly is money, and of course it isn't cheap to go to medical school. The steps that I need to take to achieve my goal first finding other school or programs that have enough seats for me to go. Next I need to study harder so that I do better in my classes to bring my gpa up. For the money, there is always grants or scholarships that I can get into. All in all, all need it a lot of hard work and dedication to get my goal and become successful in my life.
