Leanne's Self Portrait


This picture is one found in my dorm room. This is my self portrait because it consists of many things that are dear to me. I have photos of all my friends and family, coffee mug because I love to drink coffee, a certificate for initiating into my sorority, notes of things to do, candles, a wine glass, and notes written to me by my friends. My friends and family mean everything to me, my sorority, Phi Mu, is what I've been involved in while at school, I have to do lists because I'm unorganized, a wine glass because I love White Zinfandel, and my notes from my friends keep a smile on my face. I could have put something together but I figured that I would show something that represents me as I have them and see them everyday...

Orren Jones' self-portrait


This is a shattered self-portrait that I did combining my mom's favorite baby picture of me and my senior picture. My very close friends will tell you that, even though I can be mature and serious when I need to be, I have a tendency to have a unique view on life and the circumstances that arise from it. I can normally find humor and a positive side to just about anything. I still have a little bit of a kid in me.

Charles' self portrait






For my self portrait I decided to paint something very simple. I wrote in Greek the words, Where of death is the conquest, where o death is your sting? (its from the bible). The skull represents death but the leaves represent life and the red represenst either blood or passion, take it whichever way you wish. A little side note though........this is probably the worst painting ive ever done.

Kacie Crider-Self Portrait

For my self portrait all i did was take a picture of the things and people i care about the most and a couple of things i enjoy doing. My puppy on the left is a little trouble maker but i still love him anyways. I have a few pictures of my family, my two sisters, my dad, and my mom. I have a bathing suite top because i enjoy swimming and laying out. There's a girls night out money jar because i try to go out every chance i get-i love to dance. Finally there's softball. I play for west georgia. Softball is pretty much my life right now because we're in season so there's not much time left to do anything else but school...that's the most of me anyways.

Charles Garcia- Graffiti Project





I believe that Graffiti is art. No matter how you look at it. No matter how illegal or offensive, graffiti is art.

Samantha's Graffiti Project









I believe that graffiti is art. By definition art is that which is made with the intention of stimulating the human senses as well as the human mind and or spirit. It is a form self expression and creativity. Many Graffiti artist do not just paint a wall to go againist the law but to send a message to society. Just because society does not see graffiti as "acceptable" does not mean that it is not art. Yes graffiti does cause contriversy put so did Picasso's Guernia. Also graffiti uses many of the art principles and elements.

This is ME!

This is ME. The words are all the things I am in different peoples lives.

Orren Jones- Graffiiti




These are two pieces of graffiti thatI found in Newnan. I feel that graffiti is art because the person who does it is in some way expressing themselves. Also, they use many elements and priciples of art such as line, shape, and value which are very visible in these two peices.
