Artists tell stories

This project was difficult to think of something for. Mr. Sands told us to make art that told a story. I chose to do a watercolor painting of a little girl in a kitchen reaching up to grab a handful of the cake that was on the counter. I like what I chose because I feel like it represents a part of me. I have a family with a lot of little kids who are always trying to sneak a treat without getting caught by my mom or dad. The little girl in this painting is actually based off of my little sister, who is always getting into trouble and sneaking food. This is what my painting means to me, but to others it could mean something else. It could remind them of themselves when they were younger, or it could be some crazy metaphor for life, who knows?! Overall, I really enjoyed this project and liked working outside of my comfort zone by using water colors. I think this project helped me grow as an artist.
