Pieces of Positivity:
Week 5:
- How does the mantra coincide with the illustration? Does the artist successfully do this?
- Is the artist using his/her constraints well?
- What feedback can you give the artist to help them push their artwork/image further? Clean up the skateboard and feet. And finish this strong.
Week 1:
Quote: “United we roll with skate camp in our soul.”
Skate camp is a YMCA Camp near Kings Canyon National Park.
When I first started this project I changed the quote into “United we roll with skating in our soul.” So it could fit skating in general. For the re-do of this project, I decided to use the original quote and collage a photo of the view of sequoia lake from skate camp into the painting of me doing a skateboard trick.

The photo on the left was/is a really hard trick for me so when I landed it on that ledge I was super stoked. The photo on the right was a battle for me I spent over an hour trying to air over the pyramid off that sign.
Both tricks gave me a feeling of accomplishment but in different ways. The one on the left because it was a new trick and the one on the right because it was so hard for me to do. I chose to paint the photo on the left because it made me feel more accomplished that feeling is what makes this quote so true to me. I also had a bunch of friends around hyping me up for the trick on the left which is also a large reminder of skate camp and this quote.
For my constraints for the re-do, I’m going to paint over a broken skateboard deck then collage a photo of sequoia lake into the background.
