My still life included my running shoes, a clock, a pencil and a bottle of white out. The shoes represent me because I'm on the cross country team and the track & field team so I am usually running everyday after school and on sometimes on the weekends. Running also helped to meet new people and it is the reason that I have most of the friends that I have now. The clock represents how time is the soul controller of my life. Everything is on a schedule and I probably check the time at least 50 times a day. The pencil represents my need to write things down and be able to erase them. I can't just remember things, I have to write them down. Also, there are so many different values you can make with just a single pencil, I love the variety and how smooth the lead goes onto the paper. My last item, the white out, represents how indecisive I am. I may decide on one thing but then 10 minutes later I will probably have changed my mind at least 5 times. White out is good for creating a blank slate and starting over. The medium I picked was acrylic paint because there are so many little details that I'm not sure I would have been able to get with water colors. Some experienced artists could probably get the finer details in water color, but since I'm a beginner, I am not confident in my painting ability yet. I think that the clock and white out turned out the most successful in my piece. They both had fine details that I liked painted and I also think that the colors turned out pretty nice. If I could have a do-over, I would change the background colors. They didn't really compliment the piece and from my perspective they just ruined the whole thing.
