Title: Transformation
Teacher: Mr. Edwards
Theme: Equality
Materials and techniques: We used acrylic paint, and the technique of repetition in the structure of a face.
Did you enjoy this project? Yes, it enhanced my knowledge on the painting aspect of art since I personally concentrate in photography.
About: While each of the faces in our artwork vary in color, they all acquire the same structure and base of a face. This develops the idea that while skin color may be different, every human being is made of the same components of life.

Title: Words Kill
Teacher: Mr. Edwards
Theme: Personal Life of John Brown
Materials and techniques: Sharpie marker, pencil, and paint.
Did you enjoy this project? Yes we all enjoyed working on the project.
About: It explores the personal life of the abolitionist John Brown. We wanted to portray him in all aspects of his life, hence the reason we chose four towns/states that were important to his life. We also added personal dates that meant something to his life as well as words that described him as a person.
