Semaj Smith Second Quarter Artwork

​For our second quarter project we were given the opportunity to create whatever type of artwork we wanted to. I personally loved the idea of this because it gave me freedom to express my feelings in many different ways and show the many different sides of who I am. I decided to go with a more poetic project this quarter and express my everyday feelings in a poetry portfolio with images of myself that shows who I really am on an everyday basis. I chose to do this type of project because I know there is a secret side to me that nobody ever gets to see and I thought it would be good for everyone to take a look into my mind and see the way I really feel about the things I go through in life. This project is not fully completed yet because I have to take my time and go with my emotions when I write and I know I have more to let out so when I feel like I have shown all the sides of me that I want to show I will print all of my poetry and photos and put them in a portfolio book so that the work can be seen up close. 

If I were to do this project differently I think I would try to dig deeper into who I am and try to really get raw with my emotions. I think I was a little scared to let people into my heart and soul with my work this time so next time I would get more real with myself and come to terms with who I am before I tried to let other people know who I am. 

 
In the photos below there are just a few samples of some of the poetry I have already completed and some of the photos of myself that I edited and created to show the sides of who I am. Because my writing is so personal and close to me and how I'm feeling not all work could be uploaded but here's some of who I am I hope you enjoy what you see.
