Here are my last 5 drawings of the 25, which count as studio work:

=Drawing #21 (Lens Absorption):=

**Media:**Spray Paint,**Size:**(Unavailable at the moment),**Month of completion**: November 2011

**Description:** This piece was one idea I had from the start but decided to leave it to the end to have as one of my final studio work pieces. This idea branches around another idea of the camera absorbing beauty and beautiful images from around the world. The circle in the middle is the back of the lens. I organized/composed this to be in the point of view of my camera. The strip in the middle of the artwork with random spray paint colors is the beauty of the world. I cut out a circle in the middle of the back of the lens to show what the camera is seeing. The black strips represent my love to the film-look feel by applying a widescreen box. It represents the montages/movies that I make.

**Analysis:** **What were the artistic and/or cultural influences for this project?** **Who/what influenced either the composition and/or the style.** For this artwork I was influenced by Coldplay's artwork of their new album, and how the artist they worked with used a random type of style for his art. **What materials/media/processes did you use and or experiment with, and how?** I used spray paint for this artwork, I experimented with it as well. I bought lots and lots of paper to experiment with because I knew I had to learn how to spray paint properly. I discovered later on that spray painting wasn't that easy. There were 2 types of random spray painting. One that looks good and one that looks bad. The one that looks good, I found, used more lines, more figures, different shapes. The one that looks bad, was just spray painting and using different colors without thinking about composition or organization. **How do you think you have responded to advice and criticism during this project (and during the term), both from fellow students and the teacher. Did you actively seek advice? If so, was it useful?** For this one, I didn't really seek advice but I've discovered some mistakes I've made later on. I've gotten good criticism at the time when I finished the artwork and I was happy with it so I didn't consider any changes. **Clearly explain the weaknesses/areas for improvement -** The weaknesses in this one are many. I think the spray painting could have been done a little bit better. For example on the lens, I would focus more on the circles. It would've been better if I had added an iris in there to give is a sense of depth as to where the camera's eye is. Another idea was to have the iris/aperture have the ability to open and close. **Clearly explain the strengths of the piece –** I think one big strength in this piece is the strip of random spray painting. I love the colors it produced and I love how it's messy but the right kind of messy. I love the lines and the shapes, I like how abstract it looks which is exactly how I wanted it to look. **What could you take through to the next project and develop further? This could be anything, from a technique to an idea, not neccessarily just the theme.** I could develop this project further by incorporating it into another piece using spray paint and that random technique to create something 3 Dimensional or striking.

Drawing #23(Star Absorption):
**Media:**Spray Paint,**Size:**(Unavailable at the moment),**Month of completion:**November 2011 I'd like to develop this piece into my next project. I want to make a video about the Milky way and this connects to it. I made this with stars in mind and the thought of me shooting stars and our galaxy.
