If I can change anything about my art, I would change everything. Because I wish I could do better on my pinch pot. I wish I could have done more, I didn't get to do more work on it. On my self portrait I was trying really hard to make it perfect but I couldn't. So then I just tried to make it more me. So I made it weird and creative, Because ever since I was little I liked to draw and my mom knew I was different from other kids. Like more weird, and my mom was very confident and now that I'm older I criticize my art. so she would always tell me to like my art more. My mom and my grandpa inspire me to draw, they really like my art and they really inspire me to continue drawing.

My art is inspired by Ms.Meg and Mr. Manthey. They helped me make so much stuff and teached me through the process. They helped me make pinch pots out of clay, and we put found objects on cardboard and made something out of it. I made fabric collages.I made my art to inspire people to make art. It is very relaxing and you can have some talents that you might not know of. I just want to spread joy through art. My life and sunshine to sunset has very inspired me by the colors and the peacefulness. I would like to make everything again. I don't think it is really good. I like it to be so good. I am really hard on myself when I am doing art and other things. I like to be the best I can and you should do what makes you happy. In the future I want my art style to give, tell and joy to the world . I want to make pinch pots and fabric collages. I can improve on all my skills but you can. Whatever you believe you can achieve.

Ever since I was about one or two years old I have been making art, whether that was finger painting or whipping shaving cream around my grandparents kitchen. My art has many meanings, one thing I like to show is how creepy things can be or maybe how things from long ago can be important even today and one more thing I make art about is how happy and beautiful things can be. I don’t have a mustache, although my self-portrait does and that was because at the time that I made the piece I had recently watched The Darjeeling Limited and the actor Jason Schwartsman had a mustache so I decided to put that little reference in it
When we went to art with Ms. Meg we did a lot of things I had never done before, instead of drawing, assemblage, instead of painting, clay. Clay. I didn’t like clay at first. I’d never done it but after 2 weeks of work it was done! It came out lumpy and imperfect, two weeks! TWO! But then I realized that art doesn’t have to be perfect, as long as it’s you it’s the best it can be. That’s all I have to say about that
I would like to thank my Parents, John, Nana, Ms. Meg, and Mr. Manthey for all of my art

I got into art because it started with painting then I started mixing colors like secondary colors with primary colors. Then I made abstract line art. In Ms. Meg’s class fabric collages were my favorite or clay was another favorite of mine, especially when I colored it with red, pink, green, purple, orange, and blue. I like to draw funny things like human faces onto fat animals.

I never really got into art like that but everyone in my family can draw. My favorite thing was the clay and it was hard at first but after a few tries it got better. You need to take your time and it takes time to get better. My mom and nana can draw but I also want to be better than my sisters and get better because drawing is like an emotion that you can feel and a beautiful piece of art. If You can't draw you can also learn and can get better at drawing. Famous artists did not have great art on their first piece. You have to mess up to get better.

I was new to clay when I first used it but now I kind of like clay and the reason why i like clay is because my pinch pot was made out of clay and when i made it i thought it wasn’t good but i was wrong it is so amazing thats why i liked my pinch pot when i made it when we used clay i wanted to make a axalotl out of clay then i changed my mind and made anything i could think of.
I like to make things out of clay because it is fun but clay it isnt that bad because i like clay and its super duper cool.

Amir Tolliver
My art is inspired by my mom because when I was 5 years old my mom taught me how to draw. She told me that you have to picture what you want to draw. So I said that I want to draw a Spider-Man so we did it together.

I love animals. I especially love axolotls. They are my favorite animals. I thought that maybe I could make two of my favorite things together. So when my teacher asked me to do a self portrait collage i knew i had to make an axolotl in the collage. Luckily I had an axolotl plush that I brought to school so I had a reference I called my plush bob and sometimes I pretend he was a king so I put a tiny crown on him. I wanted to make him like a cartoon character so I gave him a big smile and put his antennae on his cute little pink body. He was done, and he looked perfect now it was time to move on to me. I was excited. I got the hot glue gun and grabbed a pink paper and cut it into the shape of a shirt. Then I got a big piece of paper. It was dark brown. I cut it into three pieces of curly paper and glued it to my light brown body. Next I cut thick pieces of black paper into eye lashes, and a mouth and glued them on my body. Finally I cut the rest of the black paper into glasses and cut yellow stars out and glued them.

Clay was interesting. Ms meg taught me how to use it and it's exciting to use. You can make almost anything like claymation or a vase. I made a pinch pot that if i could would make bigger so I can add more details and nothing else i made is a about a blood moon an uncommon occurrence that happen when a full moon is lined up with the moon then i put blue sky above

Harmony Brown
My name is Harmony and I make art using found objects such as fabric and paper. Art isn't really my thing but I really love this stuff named slime and the clay reminds me of it. If I ever did make the clay project again I would put more color into it and way more effort.

Makenzie Kirksey
The types of art I like to make are self portraits , collages , things out of clay , and more. My art is inspired a lot by sketches because they really capture the moment and detail. What kinds of art do you make? The point of my art just expresses how I feel in the moment.

Noah Landingham
I make drawings, I wasn't really inspired, I just like to draw. My favorite art piece was probably my pinch pot. I liked how it was a new material it was satisfying to work with. If I were to make my self portrait collage again I think I would put a lot more detail and time into it. I would use more intricate shapes and colors. If i were to send a message in my artwork i would most likely go for chaos.

Taylor Robinson
Most of my art is inspired by something I cherish, like my self portrait collage. Is based on anime, like the pale pink skin and the blush. Or how the project (the found object assemblage) was based on fall which is my favorite season. Art isn’t my favorite thing but it is nice to escape from everything. I love to see what else I can do with my imagination and put it on paper!

Liam Wilson
My name is Liam Wilson and my art is mainly inspired by Jhonen Vasquez, who is the creator of Invader Zim. I’m not very good at drawing humans but I am really good at drawing monsters, and demons. I would still like to keep trying even if it doesn't look good I still try. And I really want to get into art college when I am 19 years old.
I only want to do that because in certain art colleges you can learn how to animate and I REALLy want to know how. I really like drawing and playing video games but I mainly draw. I want to become a professional artist and make money off of my art. But here's the thing I want to become a gaming youtuber, I really hope that I can have the time to do both.
I worked on a lot of things in art like Fabric Collages, Drawings, etc. I love making art. It's one of my most favorite things to do (aside from playing video games). The art technique I want is comic book art style. I hope I am able to become an artist in the future.
