my interveiw

What motivated you to do this specific painting?
Since the 9th grade i have been overwhelmed by the amount of work that teachers give me. So when i thought about doing a project about the school i thought why not discuss what demonstrate the different things that was piled on me.

What have you done so far and are you happy with it?
So far i have sketch the middle section of the painting and i have also started on of the thought bubbles i think that the center picture can be more develop that what it is right now.

How are those past memories connect to your present?
I am trying to draw thought bubbles of what i remember from all of my years in high school. If i can not remember all of them than its okay because i can always put a memory from this year. so i will try to connect my past hard subject with new ones.

What memories have you started painting?
I have not began to paint any of the memories yet but i have develop the main focus of them. i have come up with graph for the subject of math. i came up with a quote for English.

weekly reflection

weekly reflection

My goals that i want to have plan for my project is simple. My first goal is to come up with a actual sketch of the painting. i do believe this is the hardest part because i am not the best artist. My second goal is to figure the cost of the canvas board and how many that i will need. My third is figuring a goal sheet of times that i want to have the work done by this is so i don't become overwhelmed by the project. These are my goals that i hope to complete by Tuesday and i hope to get them done.

Self Regulation

I that the best place for me to work on my project would to be at home or in school. I know that when I m at home I get distracted a lot so I need to be in a environment when there is some structure. I believe that I can work well in a group if I have to. I rather work alone because I believe that in order to get a job done you have to do the job yourself. I think that I learn more with visual that why I decide to do a picture because that is what I respond to.

Project Proposal

My name is Angelica Maddox and I am a senior at Brooklyn prep high school. My project will be a painting of my past memories at Brooklyn Prep. It will address many of the issues that we went through as the first senior class and what different thing happened to us. It will look like a mural of memories from the classroom, shows that we did or just me hanging out with my friends.
One of the many questions that came to my mind in doing this project is what exactly should I paint. A lot of the memories that I have might not mean anything to someone else. That is why I began to think of ideas such as school shows or maybe a classroom. I think that this painting will connect to my school and community because many of the seniors will graduate and remembered the memories. I painted many things that they might have forgotten.
This project will reflect me as an individual because I will paint things I like. First of all I am painting. I really like painting even though I cannot really paint well. I plan on going to Mr. Powhida and asking him what ideas that he may have for my painting. I also plan on getting feed back from my peers about what they think might be good memories to add into the project. At the end I would like my project to reflect that I had a wonderful school career and that I am happy that I went to Brooklyn Prep.
I believe that one of my strengths of this project will be that I have a lot of opinion on what memories should add to it. I think that one of my weaknesses about this project will be the actually drawing of the painting. I am not an artist but I will really try to do most of it myself.
