Junior year I have covered using all kinds of formats, features, and mixed media in my projects. I've discovered I love color. I painted my first oil painting from a photo I took of my friend doing flips to an acrylic skeleton head I painted in the pointillism method. I have been asked to paint live in our Concepts art show this spring and was asked to design and paint a skateboard half pipe to be completed before the end of the school year.
