Quarter 1 Value Project My master artist is Michelangelo. I used his "Head of a Young Man" as an I idea on how to shade the human features. The way he uses soft shading, makes the portraits look more lifelike and realistic. The way he draws the person from the side also helped me to understand the shading area of the face. My current artist is Michelle Cox. I used her various portraits of present day people to try can help me understand the human features and how they can be made to look realistic.

Piece 10

With my piece starting to become more and more realistic, I needed to make sure that my pieces created the messages I needed to portray. When you see the shows of all the animals, you never see to realize how they live. No one understand the struggles they have. In most whale and dolphin shows, they are forced to perform. They are given many drugs and even harmed in order to entertain the public. With these animals being used to the open ocean, they are confined to such small spaces which can cause many health issues.
