A piece for everyone


This is the piece that I created for the class. I believe that it is whimsical and colorful and draws the eye in. I believe that it is something that can entertain and eye and mind.

Series Pictures











These pictures are my series pictures. I did them for my dad and they are of four buildings in the Chicago skyline. I did them in charcoal and eraser. The first picture is my dad holding them, and the second is the pictures in my room.

a piece for myself


I did this picture for myself. It is a flower in a bowl. I did this piece in charcoal so that the black and white of the paper and charcoal would match the black and white in my room. my bedspread has big black and white flowers on it so the flower in the bowl goes along with that.
