So, this painting is showing a broken clock because I feel like that is a good representation of what I have been feeling. Lately I have been feeling like time is just flying by. And the cracks and stuff on the clock could be it breaking or “running out of time” I used just pencil originally but then I added watercolor fading from bright happy colors to not bright and darker colors because I thought that it would be a good representation from my point of view about growing up like the light to dark could be like showing the fear and the sadness that I think about when it comes to growing up.  

 

I made this because it has been on my mind so much and I just needed an outlet. I also feel like the eye has a meaning to it because this whole project is about how I feel about this topic and how I see it through my eyes. And the colors represent like as I am getting older the more responsibilities and stress.  

 

This is important to me because it just shows like me as a person and how I can create art and make it have such a deep meaning.  

No artists influenced me, but I did have a reference of my work, but I made it my own.  

 

It was last second on the watercolors. 

My idea changed as I started working on it more. I feel like the longer I had been working on it for, the deeper I could go. Like I can really understand my point and what I am trying to say.  

 

Some challenges I had was blending the watercolors and getting the right amount of paint and water. I love drawing eyes. I draw them all the time so that was the easy part!
