Art Show 2012
For this years art show we had 3 different projects to do for this class. All three were different and fun to do. The art show means a lot to Mr.Means so it was important to do nothing but excellent work for this class. The art that all the class did is fairly similar and really different. The following is what I did for this years art show.
Final Art Piece
Illegal or Legal?
My art piece was inspired by my own challenges and successes of being Mexican American. This particular subject has taken a toll in my life, my family’s life, and probably everyone else that isn’t “legal”. For me your legal or illegal status shouldn’t affect you or your lifestyle. We are equal and should be treated equally or at least fairly depending on our actions and not on your status. Immigration is a touchy subject for some but others might not even know about it. People need to realize and be aware of the impact immigration has. Everyone’s entitled to his or her own opinion but for me your status shouldn’t affect you or others. For my art piece I mostly worked on Adobe Illustrator by making the flag and adding some effects to it and the sayings as well. When I had the chance I went out to take some pictures to add on my flag. I was planning on adding some more but do to time I couldn’t anymore. I liked how my final version came out and I’m proud of it.

Background Replacement
Another project that we had to do for the art show this year was a background replacement. Basically we had to take a picture of someone and cut him/her out and replace the background. In my photo I chose my cousin Carlos and I chose to put him next to santa. I really liked how it came out becasue I love his posture and putting him next to santa was excellent I'm proud of this art piece because I liked how the final product came out.
Photographic Alphabet
The final task we had to do for this project was to take a picture of something that looks like the alphabet. I found this trophy in Shima and Jereb's room and it reminded me of an M.
