Classmates Art

Sonia: I liked how there were sections of your thought bubble that were separated by the influence different people in your family had and have on you. It gives it structure and makes it easier to follow. The Yellow background gives the drawing the effect that it is popping out and it makes it stand out more. The flower was also very interesting g and cool because it was the only 3D item in the picture which gave it a certain importance.

Sarah G: I really liked the hair in the portrait because it framed your face and it gave it a texture that was appealing to the eye. I like how the background is white which is very dull and all the color is in your face making it seem like you are a colorful person and you stand out. I also like how you divided your face up with a peace sign, I thought that was really cool and said something about your beliefs.

Rene: I liked how you used a dull brown for the background and then used such a bright pink for the circle of things that mean the most to you. This made it stand out. I liked how the white b-ball hoops and ipod created a border around your picture. The flag stood out because of its color which made it seem very important to who you were.

Sophia: I really liked the windmill shape of your portrait, it gave it rhythm and movement. The way everything tide into the main points of who you are made it very interesting. For the disarray and "choatism"of the picture spoke about who you re and how you behave. The different branches of the windmill were each distinct and told a different story of who you are, which made it easier to break down who you are in different groups of characteristics. Your attention to detail and symbalism throughout your project made it very enjoyable to look at.

I am

I am Brazilian, Canadian. I am a son, brother, and friend. The story of y portrait is very complex. Its main goal is to tell a story of immigration of my family and the different branches of my family. It shows my mothers side of the family from Canada, my fathers from brazil and the combination of them in the USA. It also incorporates some of my hobies.

Alexander DeMaria

I like this specific picture because it shows so much imagination and creativity. I makes you think. Its not possible to look at this photo and know what it conveys without really studying it. It make you examine every little detail before you can truly know the meaning of it.

Reflecting on self-portrait progress

I shared myself portrait with my group and received lots of feedback. I told my group the story of my parents immigrating from Brazil and Canada to the USA. I shared with them that my favorite sport is soccer and that immigration is very important to my family. The feedback was to define my shapes and finish the globe. To finish I need to color in the rest of the globe and to finish the the body of my portrait.
