My artwork is usually happy accidents most of the time. I like to use bright colors, and things that I like. Such as shoes, and birds. My favorite artwork was my Oil Pastel Parrot.

REFLECTION

• Outside of art, I am creative when I'm designing my room.
• The area I'm working to improve in is EVERYTHING.
• My favorite project was yarn painting, because I worked with Rhiannon
• My least favorite project was the zentangles because it was stressful.
• I have improved the most in shading.
