Favorite Daily Object Sketches

I liked these object sketches because they involve various objects. I like the 4th one because it uses negative space.  I like the 3rd one because it uses points to make an outline.

Favorite art journals

These are my favorite art journals because they are the most colorfuls. I added a mix of a bunch of colors for the second one. For the first one, I used blue and yellow to represent happiness.

Who am I?

   I made this artwork to symbolize who I am and where I come from. My family is from Hispaniola. Hispaniola is composed of the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Haitian culture is full of lively art and music. It is a blend of French culture also. I made the project just to show where I come from. It has the three flags. I was born in the USA. My parents are from Haiti. Some of my aunts and uncles are from the Dominican Republic. I first drew three object sketches because I basically already knew what I was gonna do and didn't have other ideas. I first painted a hill. I painted the flags, and then I painted a background of typical Caribbean weather. Caribbean weather is mostly sunny. It also has a large population of birds. Palm trees are also common. This artwork symbolizes my background.  I used invented texture, Tone value was used. The primary color palette was used.

Art Critique

My art critique is on Camron Rockwell's recreation of Starry Night. He is only halfway done. The thing that stands out to me the most is the sun. It sticks out because of its bright yellow color. The blue sky leads my eye from place to place.   I think that this artwork might represent weary or loneliness. If I could name the artwork, I would name it Dark Fumes. Colors were used to show off different parts of the artwork. The bright colors signify happiness, while the dark colors signify mystery. I think he chose this artwork because it is a well-known artwork and it is a masterpiece. I think it is a terrific recreation and will be very good when/if he finishes.
