bio
My name is Kevin Borja I was born in Altamirano City in Guerrero, Mexico I moved to the US when I was 12 and i like art, that’s one of the reasons why i attend the Art Institute of Seattle. I live in Kent Washington, before i lived in Puyallup, a town which i hated with a passion since I was the only Mexican there; also people were not that friendly. But anyways yeah, I like music and movies and that type of "stuff"... Also sorry if you find mistakes or if my vocabulary isn't that complex, keep in mind that Spanish is my first language.

midterm
Well, I didn't like the Bunyons Chess piece. I found that name awkward, "bunyons" I honestly didn’t know what it meant but as I researched the artist I found that he got the name from a famous logger named Paul Bunyon. After all the research I still think the piece is ugly but now at least I know where the name came from. The logs hanging with pieces of metal here and there were not as appealing to me, honestly I didn’t hate it but that was my least favorite one and since I only got a look at half of the park I didn’t have many choices to hate on, I didn’t know the other side was part of the park. Also some of his other art weren't as ugly I also Learned that he was a chinese-italian-american artist or at least that is what Wikipedia said. Well at least now I know why I don't like it and I somehow able to appreciate the piece a little better, when I went back it did remind me of a logger's house and like I said I appreciate it more than the first time i went to the park.

final
For my first assignment I decided to paint abstract art, something I’m not good at. I don’t see the world that different than the average person, so painting blobs of paint that look good does not come easy for me. I decided to paint something every two weeks and in between them I’m going to study different styles of art also I plan to visit several museums since I’ve never been to one, I just hadn't had the will to go to one but now I'll do it for school.

By the end of this quarter, I want to: Paint abstract

The research component of the goal is to: Find different styles of abstract art Week 2: Buy supplies

Week 3: Paint, something that I would regularly paint

Week 4: Study Cubism

Week 5: Paint something in Cubism

Week 6: Study Neoplasticism

Week 7: Pain something in Neoplasticism

Week 8: Paint something combining all of what I’ve learned
