Projects from 10th Grade.
Bruno Mars Face
About this project:
For this project we had to make a pop art-verbal portrait. We first had to choose a person important in our life, not necessarily someone we knew. Once we found that photo we had to print it on A4 writing down the citation. After that we had to tape another piece of A4 paper on top of the picture so that we could trace lightly around the whole portrait with pencil. Afterwards we un-taped the two pages and on the portrait we drew we had to fill it with words that represent them. In this case I used Bruno mars lyrics. We had to draw very small with a thin pen or marker. We could choose to make our portrait black or use color. I choose to leave it black and white because that's actually how the picture was in the first place when I first found in, black and white. I thought it looked really good so at the end, after I erased the pencil lines, I was pretty pleased with my final result.
Reflection:
This project was actually a lot of fun. I love it when we can choose who we want to draw or just choose what we prefer. I decided to draw Bruno Mars because when we did this project I was obsessed with his songs. It took a lot of time to choose what photo I was going to use. Finally I choose this one, in which the photo was already black and white and it was simple so I figured it was going to be easy to make my project with this one. After that, when I traced it the first time I forgot it was supposed to be in pencil because that way we could erase it later but I did it on pen so I actually had to throw that one and make another one. Afterwards, I think my biggest strength was drawing Bruno Mars with the lyrics.

Personal Collage.
About this project: For this project we had to make a collage about ourselves. The objective of this project was to create a collage including 3 different types of art materials. For example we could use pencils, markers, crayons, magazine cutouts, photos etc. I had lots of things in my collage that represented who I am and what I liked. First of all as you can see I have a lot of Justin Bieber images, that´s because he is my idol and my favorite singer. In the top left corner I have a photo f a dragon, that’s from the movie ´how to train a dragon´ which is one of my favorite movies in the world. Then in the top right corner I have a picture of a monkey that says a friend will always be there for a friend. I glued that picture because my friends are really important for me and I am blessed to have them in my life. Then there is also a lollipop wrap of my favorite lollipop that is airheads. I also have a photo of my favorite TV show which is The Vampire Diaries. At the bottom I also have a photo of twilight which I was obsessed with (the books and the movie) when I did this collage. (Wow I’m obsessed with a lot of things) I love Disney Channel too! That’s why I have its little picture and I also have a quote of one of my favorite songs by Taylor Swift fearless. Finally my collage has a CISV sticker because I went to that summer camp in Denmark 4 years ago and it was one of the best experiences in the whole world.
Reflection: I really enjoyed doing this project because of many reasons! First of all I really liked making a project about myself in which I could show the things I love. I thought it was fun and challenging how we had to create a collage with different materials. Finding the pictures in magazines was not easy every time, because they didn’t have exactly what I loved. Luckily they did have lots of Justin Bieber images since he is like the biggest superstar of the moment so I had a lot of them on my collage. I think my biggest strength was using different materials. I had photos, cardboards, stickers and more. My biggest weakness was maybe time, I should have worked on the collage in class but I left everything to do it home.

Taylor Swift writes the soundtrack of my life.
About this Project: I love making sketches because we can do whatever we want and feel like it. For this sketch I decided to make a Taylor Swift one. I just wrote my favorite lyrics of her songs and made a huge lyrics collage. I used different colors of markers to make it colorful. I traced my title a bit darker so that it could stand off. I had to actually listen in my iPod while copying the lyrics because some I wouldn’t remember by heart. I liked this sketch because it was not the typical pictures collage but it was a words collage. It was a music collage and music= life.
Reflection: I love Taylor Swift so much! I think her songs are actually perfect, I think they describe about every girl´s life. I listen to her I think about 7124761237 times a day and she just makes me feel better. So I did this sketch one day when I was in my house listening to Taylor Swift and then suddenly I decided to write some of her lyrics. I think my biggest weakness of this sketch was that it was maybe too simple. I should have drawn something. I wanted to write my favorite parts of her lyrics but I should have drawn something too. My favorite song in the whole world is enchanted by Taylor Swift. I also LOVE her song fearless. "To me, Fearless is not the absence of fear. It's not being completely unafraid. To me, Fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death."— Taylor Swift
