My names Shanna Mae and this is only my second art class. I draw out side of school all the time. I personally like to draw other people and then color or paint them. I think water color is nice but I feel like it is messy, so I like working with paint. I can blend and paint over things an I just like paint so much better. I usually just see a piece of art or something that interests me and then just draw it. I know its all considered "copying" and such but I just make it my own. My favorite piece of art work that I created this year was of Johnny Depp. I used sharpie marker on the back ground and paint on Johnny's face to make him stand out. It took me about 2 months to draw him out and then fill him in. I spent a lot of time making it perfect so that's why I think it's my favorite. It's big and beautiful. In art this semester, I have learned that I need to be more patient and that it is okay to spend a lot of time on a piece of art you love. When I create art, I don't really think about what other people think, but I think it has to be perfect to me.
