I took risks.I wanted to draw my grandpa and I in the artwork. Drawing people has never been my strongest place in art, so I wasn't sure if I wanted to put it in my artwork. I decided that since I really wanted to represent my grandpa, I would try it. I asked Ms. Schumann for help and she helped realize that they were just shapes. I practiced on a separate piece of paper and after a few tries it worked out well. I was successful by using different media because the soft pastels were too thick. I used a different type of pencil that I have used before. I also have never drawn a tree with soft pastels before, but with the help of Ms. Schumann she helped me accomplish the national tree of El Salvador. I then finally finished my artwork that I am very proud of.

I solved problems.This picture shows the art before being blended in. One of my challenges were getting the right colors to go together and form a sunset and blending in the colors. It was difficult for me to blend in just right because I was scared it was going to look wierd. I decided to watch more videos to help me out. At the end, I decided to make it dull in case I messed it up, so I think I didn't fully overcome this challenge and that's something I would like to work on.
I communicated through my work.My artwork is very personal. The art is demonstrating how important the relationship I have with my grandfather is to me. In the artwork you can see my grandpa in I standing next to each other looking at the sunset. You can also see we are standing next to the national tree of El Salvador. I decided to put that tree there to show that we are in El Salvador and it's an important place for me. My grandpa is currently ill and he is far away from us. He has been my father figure since I've been born and it is very hard to be away from him in times like this. This artwork shows a little bit of what is very important to me in my life.
