2p Sketchbook Collage

        The theme of my sketchbook is the ocean. What makes my sketchbook unique is what I like about the ocean and how it has an important role in my life. Since I grew up surfing, my sketchbook has many varieties of surfers, companies that I like, and many different beaches that I wish to go to someday. Not only is it about surfing, but when I look at it, it reminds me of some of my family memories that I remember from a long time ago. To express my theme I used blues and greens to develop an oceany feeling and I used complementary colors to make my images pop or stand out. I interpreted text into my collage with pen and sharpie and used tissue paper to make my images appear in the background. I used many different images from surfer magazines to express my theme more throuroughly.

          I feel really good about the end result because of my effort and hard work to express my theme in my own words. Although my sketchbook looks very complex, the theme stays the same throughout the whole collage. In conclusion, I learned that you can use many different house tools such as bubble wrap, scotch tape, Legos, credit cards, and many other house appliances as well to develop a great piece of art work.
