This is a collage inspired by Derek Gores, i titled it "freedom" and its 11x18. I am now developing the theme in my art of American symbols, so the bald eagle is the main subject of this piece. What I enjoyed the most about this work was combining the different magazines pages and putting it all together into what is now "Freedom". I feel like the text freedom is a really good additional to the work because it combines the background with the the main subject, the eagle. The process to make my art was simple cutting out magazines and laying it down on my sheet of paper using watered down glue. I also went in with acrylic paint to add some shade and definition to the eyes.

The Stage
This painting is a 12x 18, done in art nouveau style using acrylic paint and gold leaf. I started out by taking sketches of different people and feeling them up with pattern. Then I picked which colors I was going to use, and also where to place my gold leaf. My painting over all came out very good, the only thing is that the gold leaf did not work as well as I would have liked it to look. Another very small thing is I wished I would have outlined the stool with black so that it would pop out with the people as well.
