This unit was about figuring out who we were as artists, and what makes us unique. Through my artwork, I discovered through personal insight that I was more thoughtful than I give myself credit for.\u00a0 I also saw that I had a sort of sense of humor, which was especially present for my mandala as I was drawing ridiculous animals.<\/p>\n
During this unit, I came up with different objects that were meaningful to me. These objects could be read as an extension of myself and my personality, since you can kind of tell who I am just by reading about the things that are important to me. This was really useful when I was trying to figure out things about myself.<\/p>\n
-The boomerang on my wall | it reminds me of my family in spain and all the culture that I haven\u2019t explored in depth yet<\/span><\/p>\n -My glasses that always seem to find themselves dirty | I feel like this is a representation of my work ethic, because even though I try to keep my glasses clean, and it\u2019s important for them to be clean, they still end up dirty.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n -My pikachu beanie | I\u2019m a little out there, and sometimes I\u2019ll wear ridiculous things to show off my personality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n -electric scooter | anyone who knows me knows this couldn\u2019t have not been in the list. It shows a lot about me. No one else really shows up to school in a scooter, and it\u2019s not very practical compared to a car. It just sticks on me because it goes fast, and it doesn\u2019t use gas; it\u2019s fun.<\/span><\/p>\n -My various LED electronics | I\u2019m a show off, I like to gloat about stuff, and I love attention. LED\u2019s scream for your attention.<\/span><\/p>\n -The blister on my hand | I know this isn\u2019t really an object, but I\u2019m getting a little more metaphorical here. I\u2019m becoming more adventurous, and spending a few of my nights with friends climbing to places I\u2019m not really supposed to be. The blister on my hand serves as a reminder to nights like those.<\/span><\/p>\n -My fake plant on my desk | I\u2019m not going to water a real plant. But, the greenery that gets added with my fake plant really has a significant psychological benefit to be honest. So I\u2019m lazy, but with style.<\/span><\/p>\n -My stupid old red vans | I used to hate vans. But, after I wore these pair for a pretty long time they started to wear out and become more comfortable. Now, it\u2019s an iconic part of my outfit. I wear these every day.<\/span><\/p>\n -My XS plaid shirt | That shirt might actually be cutting off circulation to my body. But, it\u2019s worth it to show off and look good.<\/span><\/p>\n -The stupid router at my moms house that keeps turning off randomly | I always bug my mom about this to try and fix it, and I think I\u2019ve found the solution to the problem (it\u2019s been almost a year and I just realized now that we don\u2019t have the right power adapter). Kinda shows how stubborn I am and unwilling to accept discomfort.<\/span><\/p>\n -Cris\u2019s phone that costs $150 | I am genuinely passionate about finding cheap electronics, or just cheap stuff that makes your life easier. You name it, I love finding alternatives to expensive products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n -GoKart racing medals | I have like 8 medals from all the different birthday parties I\u2019ve gotten first in K1 racing at. I don\u2019t care if it\u2019s someone else’s’ birthday. I don\u2019t care if it\u2019s just go karts. I am competitive. I haven\u2019t thrown a single one of these stupid medals away.<\/span><\/p>\n -The same pair of black jeans I wear almost everyday | I try to think about only the important stuff, and bottoms are clearly not it.<\/span><\/p>\n -My water bottle | I find myself obsessed over the weirdest things, and one of them is my bottle that finds a way to make water taste better. It\u2019s supposed to be a coffee mug but the way it pours the water just makes it taste better. So much better, that in fact I drank it 4 times in one class period, and had to go to the bathroom 4 times in that one class period. (the bottle is 500 mL, so I drank 2L of water in the span of 1 and a half hours.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Introduction This unit was about figuring out who we were as artists, and what makes us unique.
