Chalk Tingz (finished)

Hey guys, welcome back to my blog. This is a very late blog post because my instructor of Room 13 was not clear at all what she wanted us to do while she was absent for the past couple days... BUT ANYWAYS, I don't really feel that well today so I'm going to keep this post very short and straight to the point. This week I've created two chalk pieces. I wanted to use a new medium so chalk stuck out to me. I used black paper instead of regular printer paper so we could see the bright chalk color. I simply rubbed the chalk on it's side so I could get a nice vibrant color.

Something that went really well this week was being able to outline my fruit in both pieces with chalk instead of pencil. You can see in the apple piece (left) the apple really stands out, from the apple itself to the leaf hanging onto the stem. I really liked using the chalk because it was easy to apply and blend in with my fingers/hands.

One part of this week's pieces that was a struggle was definitely clean up after I was finished. The chalk left an ugly stain on my hands and pants, so I would recommend cover your hands and clothes before doing a chalk piece unless you like getting dirty... unlike me. Another struggle was doing the grapes piece (right) I had used a different chalk than the chalk I used in the apple piece. The colors weren't as vibrant as I wanted, but whatever I guess.

I believe I did alright in class this week, as usual. I came in and got straight to work. I stayed focus the entire time. I did not get distracted by others nor my phone, as usual. I believe I picked a different project out of the usual projects I do, so yes, I did learn from it.

Welcome back Briana the Barbie's weekly blog, I know it's been a long while since I've posted about one of my beautiful creations but now I am back at it and no more waiting. This week I've started a piece of a garden of flowers. I chose flowers simply because I love flowers and when I'm mad they calm me down. First, I picked out of wooden canvas and used a brand new saw that Room 13 got. Once I got the perfect size, I picked up a pencil and started to sketch all sizes and types of flowers.  Something about this project that went really well was using the new saw. I definitely liked the new saw better instead of the old saw because it was way more easier to use. And I didn't need my teacher's, Amy, help that much. One part of the project that was a struggle was drawing different types of flowers. I only know how to sketch tulips and the little white garnish flowers that they be putting on the corsage for girls for prom. Also, I would say making the

Giving Birth to my World (Finished)

Hey it's me, your favorite blogger, Briana Carter. Welcome back to my first FINISHED piece, this week in Room 13 I was able to complete this piece. So, this week my exact plans for this didn't go exactly as planned, instead of spray painting the cotton balls I ended up using black pom poms. I cut the pom poms in half, then hot glued them on my canvas, then I added purple glitter to her hair just to add some "spice". Gluing on the pom poms as her hair went surprising well, I wish she had the 4c hair texture but the pom poms make it look like she got 4c hair blow dried out lol. I also just the overall look of my finished piece and I'm content with it. The only struggle was putting the glitter in her hair. I used black paint over the black pom poms to act as adhesive for the glitter, and I hated it. Then, I got a suggestion from my advisor and she had me brush out the paint over the pom poms, and it came out great. This week in class I just focused on her hair a
