This week we were assigned to make another propaganda piece. We were supposed to base the style off of some old Chinese propaganda posters. I used a similar color style as the Chinese ones. We were supposed to pick a point our poster would make, and a target audience for the poster. Obviously my point is to use nice, kind acts instead of violence. The target audience is bullies. Stay tuned for more art.

This week we are supposed to make a piece showing propaganda. Given that my name is Sam, I thought it would be fun to put my face on Uncle Sam's poster. I'm still working on it currently. I still have to touch it up a little bit and decide what I want the slogan to be. Stay tuned for more art.

My piece this week is my final football painting. I free hand painted the entire thing. I used the grass brush shape combined with many different colors of the mixer brush to make the football and the grass. Below is a piece I made for my metamorphosis piece.

As you can see the sun is reflecting down onto the water. My idea was to make the sun turn into the moon in the reflection on the water. Stay tuned for more art.

This week we have the option to make a piece on whatever we would like to. I know this looks like nothing because, right now, it basically is. I'm painting a football sitting on a football field. I will be using the mixer brush tool a lot and maybe add some textures to make the grass look more realistic. Stay tuned for more art.

This is the updated version of my piece. I decided that it needed a shadow. So I gave the chest and the cup shadows. Lucky for you all! You guys get two blog posts from me this week.

This piece I created was based off of Sarolta Ban's artwork. A lot of her artwork contains droughts and water less earth. To be ironic I put the water less soil in a glass of water. She also uses keys in many of her pieces. I buried it under the dirt. One piece she makes shows a flock of birds, but instead of birds she replaced them with flying hats. I decided to put a flock of birds in to add to the piece. Stay tuned for more art.
