Nice one EJ! All the details make it look realistic and majestic. I love the colors and how well you rendered the grass.

EJ, this is soooo cool!! I love the stars and the colors and the swishes and shapes. Somehow you make so many different things work together in balance and harmony.

So cute and happy. I am impressed by your use of the colors and how well they work together.

Your first eighth grade art project makes me happy to look at! It is bright and cheerful. Were you thinking about hiking or skiing or just pretty scenery? I look forward to more of your artwork this year.

I LOVE this!! It reminds me also of our chickens...it could be Ginny with a parachute =] Keep up the great work EJ!

So cool and impressive! I love black and white art and I find it balanced too.

I agree with you! I think it looks VERY cool! I love the juxtaposition of the figure on the right and the reflections on the bottom. I hope you will tell me more about how you created this piece and what it represents to you.

EJ, I love seeing your imagination at work! This is an interesting one! I don't think it is autobiographical, because one of the heads would have to be smiling. We used to have a book where each page was divided in three and you could match different parts. Looking forward to seeing what's next!

EJ, this is so clever! I love how the color scheme also hints at the emotions of the man. Bravissimo!

EJ, This may be my favorite piece yet! It is so creative, the title fits perfectly, and you did a wonderful job executing your idea. You will have to tell me about the assignment and how you decided to look out the window at the cityscape.

EJ, congratulazioni: e' stupendo!!! Posso averlo come regalo di Natale??! Lo adoro!!!!

Wow! The stairs, the clouds, the difference in size...they all make the viewer of your drawing feel small in front of the divinity. Great work being able to transmit all of this through your art!

Amazing! It looks like a stained glass but it also reminds me of the graphic from Moana

So cool and creative EJ! Spiderman really looks like he is swinging!

This mask is great! I love your interpretation of each of the features. They are distinctive, yet they come together in the space of one head. You must have liked the work of the artist you studied before doing this project.

Mr. Blue Guy is a picture of peace and happiness. He is smiling, just like you! What did he do to earn his halo?? You did a really good job on the body.

EJ, Stained glass windows are among my favorite art genres, and I think it is great you learned about them. Some of the most famous ones are in France. Maybe we can go there together someday! The process you described sounds pretty involved. Did it take you a long time to do this project? I especially like all the colors and the intricate design:)

EJ, This is another favorite because I love the way you think of things. It is so creative to have the forest in the bear instead of the bear in the forest!

How wonderful! You have united so many things I love: mountains, forest and bear!! LOVE IT!!

I LOVE THIS!! This so speaks to something YOU love, something that is part of your heritage, and your creativity! You have done so many things in art class this year, and I thank you for sharing them with me.

So cool! I want to hear all about the printing process. Kudos EJ!

EJ, This is BEAUTIFUL! Did you draw it? What did you use? There is so much detail in this drawing. How long did it take to do? I look forward to talking to you about it. Love you! Gram

Finally I get to see the new art work - I was so looking forward after you told me about a new one! And it doesn't disappoint!! So nice that you have incorporated Star Wars and legos into your art. I like the prospective and the galaxy theme. Great work EJ!
Posted 1 year ago by Lucia (Mother)
I love this: your sense of humor, which I love, comes through the drawing. I like the colors too and the 3rd drawing (or should I call it 4d...=) Great work EJ!
Posted 1 year ago by Lucia (Mother)
I wish I was there!! Well you got your postcard from Phantom Ranch and I've got your drawing from Sedona, I love it!
Posted 1 year ago by Lucia (Mother)
EJ, I knew your trip would be your next inspiration! How lucky you were to go to see it in person (even though you were sick), and now you have a special way to remember it! Thank you for sharing it with me.
Posted 1 year ago by Gram
What an explosion of colors, I love it!! I also like the combination of styles and techniques, I can't wait to see it in person. Good work EJ!
Posted 1 year ago by Lucia (Mother)
Hi EJ, I just saw your latest artwork. I love the colors! What inspire this one? It probably wasn't a pizza, but it could be! So it's collage and coloring. It looks very 3-D. Are the color triangles the collage part? Also, did you do it on black paper? It looks like it is black behind the background coloring. I really like it!! Is it one of your favorites?

This must be an owl from Buffalo - it's got the Bills colors: I LOVE IT!!!

EJ, I realized I am behind on your artwork!! I was pretty sure I knew what inspired this piece, since you have told me how much you loved "The Hunger Games" books, and the arrow was a good hint as well. I think it is really good!! I also really liked your Nike Air sneaker, and I am a big fan of the O.W.L. Your art projects have gotten better and better. I can see your effort and your critical eye as well as your creativity, and absolutely love knowing what you are doing in school!!

EJ, I knew without even looking at your caption that this was inspired by your ski vacation in the Alps. I still have to hear about that part of your trip. It is incredibly beautiful and you are so lucky to have seen it and skiied there. This is a really good drawing!
Posted 1 year ago by Gram
Oh EJ, this is absolutely stunning!!! And it brings me right back on the snow staring up at the Cervino...what a great trip we had! Great work amore!
Posted 1 year ago by Lucia (Mother)
EJ, I love the colors too! You also made an interesting pattern with the direction of your coloring. I always wonder what is in an artist's mind when they create something, and the explanation of how you create your work helps me understand it better. Love you and miss you!

Wow!! It makes me feel like I am right in your fantasy land running at night and looking up at the planets...goosebumps, so cool EJ!!

Hi EJ, If I read correctly, this is the cover of a sketchbook you are making. I love all the colors you used, and they give a hint of what you might put inside. It is so much fun for me to see what you are doing in art class, but I think you know which piece will always be my favorite!!
Posted 2 years ago by Nonna Jane
I love it EJ!! As always you surprise me with how good you are with colors. The pattern and the colors flow together. Well done!

EJ, I am sure Dad will love it. You did a beautiful job on it! It's hard to tell from the picture how big it is, but maybe you have some ideas of things he can use it for.
Posted 2 years ago by Gram
Hi EJ, I am looking forward to hearing more about your print, and what you thought of printmaking in general. I love seeing your art!!
Posted 2 years ago by Gram
Absolutely LOVE it!! It brings me back to our trip on the mountains, thank you EJ!
Posted 2 years ago by Lucia (Mother)
EJ, I love your collage and that it was inspired by your trip to Italy. You didn't tell me about the yaks! The skiing you did was amazing, and you were obviously impressed by the beauty of the Dolomites. Thank you for sharing your artwork. You know I am a fan!!

You have definitely had piano on your mind! I like the background too! I hope you enjoyed creating it as much as I enjoyed seeing it!
Posted 3 years ago by Jane
EJ, I love seeing your artwork online! It makes me feel like I am almost there with you. It probably is no surprise that I love the piano player best. It makes me smile two ways: that you play the piano AND that you did a great drawing of it. Thank you for sharing it with me :)
