My Electric Art Project
Artist Statement
I made this sculpture to represent how I view my brain. I believe my brain is the worst and best element of myself. Therefore, to portray this I had colorful lights that are bright to the good part of my brain, which is my intelligence, creativity, and all good qualities of myself. The plain white bulbs in the elements are in series and are dim on purpose to represent the bad qualities of myself or the worst. These represent my mental illness, less kind side, and all the other horrible qualities that I do not like about myself. I wanted these qualities to be seen like a ying yang sign, the good in the bad and the bad in the good because in my brain you can't seem to have a good quality without a bad one to accompany it and vice versa. I wanted this sculpture to completely represent me and how I am a mixture of both and sometimes one may overpower the other. I wanted for to see a look inside my brain.
One Point Perspective: Artist Statement
In this drawing, I tried to make it as comfy and cozy as possible. I included couches, a bookshelf, a poster, bookshelf, fairy lights and a bunch of knick-knacks to capture that. I wanted you to look at the room and think that a teen could live there, that is why I drew it slightly messy. I wanted it also to be envisioned as a living room or a chill spot of some kind.
Based on this project, I learned that in one point perspective a lot of things go back to the horizon line when looked at on the side. I also learned that if the piece drew is faced forward that it is below the horizon line. It seemed that in the drawings it was best to use a ruler as a guide.
I am most proud of my shelves on my bookshelves and my fairy lights. However, to improve I would have added more details to my drawing so it would look comfier and more packed rather than spaced.
My advice to those doing this project next year is to have a vision of the room they want to draw instead of free-willing it because by then you seem to be stuck and a lot of the drawing reflect that since it looks out of place.

Multitasking & Cell Phone Usage
In the end, I came to the conclusion that most 9th graders spend a ton of time checking or being on their phone and that we spend a lot of similarities with how we use that time on our phones.
Steps to help avoid cell phone addiction,
1. Avoid looking at your phone when you are talking to someone, pay attention to whoever talking to you and turn off your phone altogether or silence your phone
2. Don't fall asleep with your phone in your hand, Set a time that you put your phone away for the night.
3. Don't check your phone as soon as you wake up, Go throughout your morning routine technology free so you better prepare for the day
