Where would we be without art?

 This is a couple pieces of my most recent artwork I created in my art class. Of course the first photo was just a paint pallet I took, but I didn't paint either of the pictures below.

The last photo (Lion), was a chalk pastel project. Our teacher let us pick what we wanted to do as long as we used chalk pastels. I had a hard time thinking of what I was going to do for my project. I wanted to do something that I wouldn't normally do. The Lion wasn't supposed to look sad, but he does. Maybe I was sad the day I finished his mouth.

I finished my project early, so my art teacher let me create another chalk pastel project. I decided to do something else that I wouldn't normally do and what I thought that would be somewhat of a challenge that I could finish in 2 days. I was and still am very proud of the 2 projects. I am happy that I went out of my comfort zone and thought outside of the box for once. I plan on doing that with every one of my projects from now on. Usually the turn out is much better.
