Nisjae's Portfolio

Using acrylic paint I created a variety of different skin tones. I experiment with various mixtures and started with red, blue, and yellow undertones as a base. Creating these skin tones was most definitely a challenge but I think they turned out well.

I created this color wheel with a goal in mind to evaluate its spectrum. I include both tints and shades as well and used acrylic paint.

This piece was inspired by another similar work that I had previously seen. In this artwork, I depicted different parts of Conyers and the surrounding community. I included the Synagogue, Olde Town buildings. The Dinky Train. Cherry Blossoms from Conyers' annual Cherry Blossom Festival, and red arch near the library and Lily pads from the Botanical Garden. I used acrylic paint for this piece with a watercolor background.

This artwork is my rendition of the patterns that are on the bottoms of the shoes. I went with a blue monochromatic theme and used acrylic paint. The two patterns that were shown are from the same shoe and I used a dry blending method to blend the colors into one another.

These are the two mural designs that I and a group of students have worked on for several weeks in creating. The mural is to be featured on the walls of our school as it is to showcase the five categories of the Performing and Visual Art Academy.

This project was a deep exploration into body shaming and what it can do to your portrayal of yourself. The people that are depicted show a variety of different perspectives and walk of life from skin tone to body shape, amongst other things. The titled line of this work states "We are enough'." meaning that although you may feel like you aren't smart enough or skinny enough or anything else, you don't need to aspire to be anything more than what you already are because you alone are enough.
