inprogress > An Animal Inside  byAlex Sieg

First off I chose this setting, an island beach because I really dread being in the cold weather of Minnesota.  Sometimes I wish I were living in a much warmer and quieter place, somewhere more remote. 
The symbol is an ancient Egyptian symbol used in alchemy.   I chose it because symbols were the first forms of writing and writing is one of my favorite things to do.  I’ve also been a fan of things that weren’t quite real.  Alchemy is one of those lost arts.
I chose to put the tiger over me because I have a tattoo of a Siberian tiger on my left shoulder blade, and I feel like sometimes there’s a little bit of tiger in me.  Plus it’s my favorite animal.
inprogress > My name is Alex Sieg and I am sixteen years old.  I was born and raised in Minnesota.  When I was six years old I decided I wanted to be a cartoonist, but that faded away when I watched my first episode of Law and Order.  Ever since then I’ve wanted to be a Lawyer.   Though I am still interested in many artforms.

Most of my artwork in the past has been rough sketches and complete inkworks.  I’ve also taken Alto Sax for the past seven years and communication arts just for fun.

Basically I wanted to take this class to try something new.  Just to learn some basic knowledge, maybe a few advanced techniques.  Either way, the class has been fun and that’s all that really matters.

inprogress > My Name is Jack Sturdevant I’m 13 years old. I have a little brother.  We live in maplwood.  I am going into the 8th Grade. I’m a stundent at Skyveiw middle school.

I love pets.  I have two cats.  Their names are Al and Merky.  They are so werid but thats why I love them. We have ha Al for 4 years And Merky for two years. Al’s  a big cat and Merky is skinny.

I have taken a few art classes in school.  We made collages.  I’ve also taken music classes. I’ve also taken Band for 3 years. And I’ve taken 7 art classes,

I put them in this portat to show that how much I love them. I put the Earth as the background to show that animals inhabit all of the earth. I put the panda and the Dolphin because they’re my favorite animals. And the seal looks cool. The reason that my cat is in a shoebox is because one day he just fond an opened box and plopped down in it. And Merky looked so cute in her bed. And so that is why I put these images in this picture.

I am eleven years old and I just graduated from JJ Hill Montessori School. I am going into seventh grade at Murray Junior High.

At JJ Hill I did take art class, and at Murray I am going to do ceramics. I have also taken a normal photography class, but I think I like digital photography more. I play guitar and baseball.  I used to play the drums. I also used to go to a day camp called Farm In The City.  Where we would drawing, do ceramics, and take pictures, and that was really fun.

I hope to learn how to use photoshop very well and to learn a little more about the camera itself.  I hope to apply what I learned about photoshop to my school work.

My picture has a background of The Simpsons Movie poster, with me standing up in places, and hovering over the mob as if I am ruling them. I have also taken out some text, and changed how Spider Pig and the MOVIE text looks. I also put some lighting effects on it and made a dollar bill be faded into the sky.

The reason why I made this picture is because I really like The Simpsons and I also like guitar and playing music.  The Simpsons started the first in a series of animated cartoons. South Park, Family Guy American Dad all follow in The Simpsons footsteps. South Park even made an episode called “The Simpsons Already Did It”. That’s why I chose The Simpsons. I chose to put in a guitar because music means a lot to me. My dad was in a band, and I thought that was really cool.
