Tomorrow we are suppose to be working on our speeches for our 20 percent projects. We will be given a lecture about what we should do and what we shouldn't do. Sadly, I will be missing out on the lecture because I have CCCs tomorrow for swimming. I will be missing out on a lot so I will need to practice and take notes on my own.
Since I planned on painting more during spring break I need to start thinking about the pictures that I want to paint. I was thinking of doing landscapes that are in the forest because during winter I painted the beach picture. I am excited to finally work on my paintings.
I found out that swim season ends the day before spring break. This will help me so much because I will finally have time to start my third painting. I never have time anymore because I have tournaments every weekend and a lot of home during the week. This is a great opportunity to get back to work.

You helped me stay focused with my work and kept me on task with painting the pictures. From the beginning to now I’ve completed about half of what needs to be done. I wouldn't be able to do it without your help. I really appreciate the time you have given to me for this project. Also, you have been really supportive. This helped me believe in myself and get the job done. Thank you for your patience because without it i would have given up because it would've made the project stressful. Your help guided me to where I am now. Your guidance has given me deeper understanding about what I’m good at and what I need to work on when it comes to painting. I believe that the more you guide me the better my paintings will get. Your help will reflect on my painting in the future and Best, Kassandra Rice This month I've been really busy because I started swim season and I barley have time for anything; when I do have time I just do my homework or sleep. I need to find a certain date to start painting because this month is short and I won't have enough time. I also need to buy the canvases that I need to paint it.
Since its been a couple days of February I need to make a plan about the start if my next painting. I was thinking of getting a few canvases when I get my money from my birthday. I wanted to get a few because it will prepare me for the next months. I am thinking twice about the painting I chose but I will soon make a final decision on the type of painting I want.
I chose to paint this because I wanted to do something that would be different from the first two paintings. I like how there is a lot of the sky in this picture and the color of the flowers really stand out. I wanted to see if I could be able to paint this with oil paints. But if I can't then that would be okay.
I have been working with acrylic paint on my first two paintings; however, I wanted to try to use oil paints for the first time. I probably won't use oil paint for my February painting but I will try to on my next one.
Painting this year so far is great because its something I like to do. Before I started this project I thought I wasn't going to be able to do it because I thought it would take to much time. I'm glad i chose this project because I wanted to show people what I can do and I also wanted to get better at painting. For the month of February u plan to choose one of these pictures or find another similar to them. I wanted to add in flowers because it will bring a lot of color. I plan on starting the painting next month, however, I still have to choose what I will be painting. |
