Creative Me

In this art work I sketch a chair in different views like side , back and front . After I sketch each view I did a similarities to a collage and repeated every sketch I drew . This Artwork for me represents open minded , Out of the box and it gives me the message that you can take one simple object and make it into a piece of fine art.




In this artwork I took an image a model from the magezine into making it as a cartoon character . I used specific shapes and color to make it stand out.











Poetry.

I am what am, Dont let nobody change that
Succeed is my goal and dont let nobody stop you
I go through challenges & obstacles , The test to see if your strong enough to survive in this generation
I dont live the good life , No i dont Live in a condo
I sweat for what i want and strive for what i need .
& then you'll see , I will be living the that good life.


Reflective Me
This represent one of the piece of work that ive struggled with. In this piece I had to write about Chino vs. Julio in other word man vs. self . Chino represents the street side of the character who real name is julio which represents the side thats shown to his wife and walks to a positive road. The reason why i struggled with this piece is because i did not organized the essay so well and also needed more evidence.

Sapo: O so yo chino I was thinking um what happen to that response about bodega business? We never got your answer.

Chino: Ooo yea yea now I remember. Pero I don’t know sapo. I been thinking about it .But I don’t think I should.

Sapo: C’mon man. It’s really nothing its just dropping packages places to places, like deliveries.
Chino: wait what kind of deliveries?

Sapo: but think about it man. The Dinero! You would get. No 10s, 20s, or 5s fucking 100s bro. Im telling you my man Bodega, Ese hombre te pone dinero in your pocket, and its not a big deal Blanca don’t gottah know.
Chino: It’s not a big deal! Sapo you my pana and all but what you doing can take you to a bad place. Haven’t you thought about that?

Sapo: Its fast money and an easy job. Just think about it. It can support you and your family.
Chino: I don’t know sapo. But I do have to support Blanca and the new baby that’s coming soon.
Sapo: Exactly
Chino… (Confused face)
Sapo: Look chinos just think about it but im telling you mangg. Fast money.


This represent one of the piece i am proud of. In this piece i had to make a scene on a book we read in class. Chino is the main character of the book who lives in spanish harlem but trying to get the right education to get out of the area and support his family. We had to predict what we thought was going to happen Or make a scene of what might of happen which was what i did.I made a scene of Sapo and chino having a converstaion and Sapo trying to convince chino to enter a business.
