This is a really interesting composition! I like how the inner square is a reverse contrast of the surrounding diamond motif. It makes it appear as though the inner square is floating above everything else. Optical illusion!

Whoa! That is an impressive skull! The shading really adds depth and make it look 3D. I also like the bright background colors you used in contrast.

I love how you drew these creative letterforms and how they reflect your interests. Except for that letter A... That one looks a little "suss." ;-) Nice work!!

OMG! you are getting better every day! Keep up the good work!

WOW!! Scary! Impressive! Good Job!

Those cacti and succulents look really well-drawn! Nice work!

That looks great. It looks 3-dimensional. Adding fine details makes the pieces look like they have texture. You have highlights and shadows that make it look 3D. You have balanced well, the light colored items with dark colored items. No two items are the same. Each as their own character. Well done.

Very beautiful. I love the soft pastel colors. I thought that was interesting to add shadows to the trees and fence to give it depth/dimension.

Wow. From the small thumbnail image, I thought this was a photograph at first. Only when I saw a larger view could I tell that it was pastel/colored pencil. Great job, and nice attention to detail there!

I love how you use colors to create the glow of sunset (or is that sunrise?). And I love how the trees cast shadows on the snow. Great job!

This is a cool abstract composition that reminds me of cellular structures under a microscope. The blue watercolor texture in the background really adds a nice quality to it.

A little diorama. I like Legos too. Your choice of colors are bright and happy. You used contrasting colors--warm (yellow) with cool (turquoise) colors. Set in a common theme of cats. You are using your imagination, memory and creativity. Continue to expand your thinking. You have created a very nice piece of work.

Flowers. I love real flowers. They are an example of how beautiful nature is. Good use of colors--using just 3 colors and using one color as your main color. At first, it looks like the flowers are placed randomly, they are in a balanced pattern. The pencil strokes are also deliberate--the flower petals and leaf strokes point to the center of the flower; the blue background strokes are all going in the same direction. Your drawing shows harmony. I like it.

You have a good sense for picking colors. Your choice of using a few tertiary colors works well for this project. This is very nice.

The description of creating this type of art is interesting. I'm glad that you are learning different methods used to create art. Learning these different techniques, increases your knowledge and skills. The colors you chose are harmonious. This is very nice.

I love the bright colors and creative textures you used to make this composition extra interesting and the face so charming. Since you used a bright colored paper, this feels cheerful even tho this person appears to be crying. Joyful tears?

Whoa! It looks like Martin Luther King Jr. What a cool portrait/illustration!! How did you go about making this!? I like the high contrast and analogous colors you used. Nice job.

Okay, this really appeals to my design aesthetic. I LOVE IT. Great use of geometric patterns and color! I really dig the composition and color palette too.

Sry, I just saw this! This is very well done!! Really nice line work and coloring in. I even like how you used dotted lines to hit at the angles in the back of each crystal. Reminds me of Kryponite!

You did a wonderful job! I really like the flowers and the colors.

This design feels light and airy to me! It seems like it is swirling in a circle.

Cool!!!

Yes, that's you--a girl after my own heart! Great illustration work, Kira!

I like your color combinations and abstract/organic shape layers. It really feels 3D! I could easily get lost in that void. Nice work!

Awesome illustrated map! You know I like maps. Wish my work maps were this charming! I like how you made the paper look weathered and torn as if it's been well traveled. So cool!! =D

Wonderful drawing. I love the colors and shapes. I hope you get to do more artwork and share it on Artsonia. Take care and keep learning and being creative.

I love illustrated letter forms like this. You did a great job including visual elements that start with 'F'.

This feels kinda dreamy with the soft lines and warm colors. Nice job.

Cool abstract work!

Very beautiful, Kira. I love the use of color in the turtle and especially the color and texture in the background. I feel like I'm riding on that turtle's back, like in that Japanese fable. Nice work!

I really like this artwork because it shows a turtle who seems to be slowly gliding along below the viewer. The turtle is also transparent while at the same time colorful. It is obvious Kira plans well as she creates her art. And, I am wondering if she has named her turtle or wonders about the turtle's family.

This is interesting. Several different art techniques in this simple image. Contrasting straight lines with curved. Solid colors contrasted with translucent colors. Positive space contrasted with negative space. This is a good piece in creating abstract art using different techniques. Learning art is fun. I wonder if the images are meant to tell a story?

Wow. Beautiful. You balanced warm colors (yellow and orange) with cool colors (shades of pink and white).

This is very beautiful. You have an eye for balance. There is a combination of symmetry and asymmetry of the images and I like the way you added the 3 red dots--that adds interest to the monochrome scenery. Very nice.

This is really charming. I like the beautifully simple composition and the texture you used in the tree trunks. It totally reminds me of a Charley Harper print.

I love this picture. It is well balanced. Although the cardinal is alone, he doesn't look lonely. He looks happy. The colors are contrasted well. Great job!

Very nice. Pleasant use of split complementary colors and basic shapes with simplified lines. This is a good exercise of the Modigliani self portrait.

I know with the third "F" stands for: Feathers!

Illuminated font/letter/initials. Very unique. Not typical. That's good that you experiment and try different designs. But remember that copying a style can also help you develop your own style. A little sample here, a little sample there. You are looking for a design that you like and represents your personality. Looking at this design, I'm guessing it's about things found in nature that start with the letter 'F': Fish, flowers and ferns? Fish, flowers and fuzz balls? Fuzz balls can be found in nature and the color is grey. And I see that you put a red frame around your illuminated font (the color red complements the paper's green color). I'm also guessing your favorite color is red.

Day of the Dead art. That's a pretty skull. I'm guessing it's a "she." Though she may be dead, her head is covered in life--with leaves, flowers and hearts. The Day of the Dead is to remember those who have left this life and to celebrate as their souls come back to us. Feliz Dia de los Muertos. In the U.S., we have memorials and days of remembrance for those who have died. During the Day of the Dead fiesta, it's a time to celebrate and remember the good thoughts of those people who have gone by. I hope you get to enjoy and not be afraid of Dia de los Muertos.

Awesome! Scary but pretty. I bet the skull is a girl. I love the hearts. I also love the dots around the eyes and flower. Keep up with the good work! Grandma

Dear Kira, I really like this piece. It helps me imagine "Day of the Dead" and shows the care you take in making an idea into a good design.

That's very beautiful. It's calming yet full of action. The green and brown background is soft and gentle. Horizontal line between the colors gives the feeling of calm. Whereas, the black lines are powerful and explosive ending with beautiful purple flowers. The vertical and diagonal lines gives the feeling of action/movement. The design shows balance. The background colors divide the image equally in half horizontally. The center black stem divides the image vertically yet gives way, gives space, to the two red boxes in the upper right corner. The two black branches on either side of the center branch give equal weight to the painting. The bigger, lower branch on the right is balanced by the smaller, higher branch on the left with the center branch adding weight to the left at the top.

It is really lovely. I love it

Beautiful. The colors are in harmony. Good use of colors...brighter or lighter colors give the appearance of advancing (coming forward) and darker colors give the appearance of receding (being in the background). The orange and the green jellyfish are lighter hues and they are larger in size, while the magenta and the blue jelly fish have darker hues and are smaller in size. You are doing so well in learning art and design.

I am wondering if your penquin is a baby penquin. What is she or he is looking at? I am wondering if one of his/her feet is raised up to take a step or if it is raised to avoid something we cannot see that is on the ice or under the ice. I am looking forward to hearing your story about this penquin.
-- Johanna

Oh so cute. I love what you've done with the colorful background. This artwork is simple, yet detailed. It's also reverse color isolation, where the main subject is in black & white, while the background is full of bright colors. It's very beautiful.
-- Nelson

Lovely. I like how you painted flowers into heart shapes. Nice balance of weight--you gave distribution of images across the top-half and bottom-half on either side of the green branch in the middle. Even across the bottom-half with the insect being in the upper part is balanced with the largest flower in the lower right-hand corner. You also balanced dark and light colors. You are developing an eye for design.
-- Nelson

3-dimentional art--cool! That is very nice. I hope you get to work with finger paint and clay.
-- Nelson

Kira: I see a cute little bird emerging from a nest or a hole in a tree. I love it! Keep up the great worK! Love, Grampie
-- David

This is very nice. Your cat makes me feel like it's a mellow cat. "Meow" The color blue can represent peacefulness. In the Bible, the rainbow is a sign of peace from God to Noah. I find it interesting that you made the shape of the pupils like a human. Does this cat represent someone I know?
-- Uncle Nelson

Wow. Exciting. Tsunami. Stormy seas and angry sky. I like your use of colors. Another great artwork.
-- Uncle Nelson

Wow. Cool. Yes, I like the textured background too. Your painting reminds me of work by Salvador Dali with the fluid shapes. Very nice artwork.
-- Uncle Nelson

I like the texture you used in the background. Your line work is really impressive too! I like how this composition seems to tell a story of it's own.
-- Ryan

Very creative use of a page from a book to use as a surface to illustrate on and use as a background. Your artwork has dual meaning. An owl is a symbol of knowledge and wisdom and the dictionary is source of information. You also chose harmonious colors that work together. This is very nice.
-- Uncle Nelson

This is a very serious, wise owl who is also very colorful!
-- Johanna

I see "diversity" in this piece. The colors are harmonious. The open hands are reaching out to one another.
-- Uncle Nelson

Very, very nice. I like horses too. The colors black and purple go together nicely.
-- Uncle Nelson

Very beautiful. I love the bright happy colors.
-- Uncle Nelson

I bet this was fun to make, Kira! I like how you challenge yourself to do art that is more and more adventurous. It looks like you experiment and see what happens! Your hands overlapping in this artwork remind me how important touch is for everyone.
-- NanaJ

SO COOL, KIRA! I love all the patterns and details you used and how they change where the hands/fingers overlap. Your use of color seems very fitting too. Wow! =D
-- Daddy

Very nice. Your artwork has improved. This has detail and lot of action going on. It's a story about life. And it seems you are learning biology of plants and insects. That's wonderful that you are learning about our world.
-- Uncle Nelson

Wow! So very proud of what a talented illustrator you’ve become, Kira! This is SO COOL! I love it.
-- Dad

Yay Kira! Love your garden above and below!
-- Johanna

Good job! I love the blue dog.
-- Lucille

Blue dog. Creative interesting images. A nice watercolor painting.
-- Uncle Nelson

Very lovely. I feel the flower symbolizes beauty and the heart symbolizes love. The yellow lines are the love and beauty radiating out or toward the heart.
-- Uncle Nelson

I am wondering if you turned your paper around as you were making this piece. There is something interesting in each part!
-- Johanna

The four seasons. Very beautiful.
-- uncle Nelson

Wow! So Beautiful! I love it. I can feel the seasons change. Great work Kira!
-- Aunty Michele

Very nice. Keep up the good work.
-- Nelson

I am wondering if this huge animal is looking for something. I see it is much much larger than the trees around it. Could this animal have lived thousands of years ago?
-- Nana

I like your tall houses near the trees. I am wondering what is upstairs in the tallest part of each house! I am also wondering if the sun is coming up or if the moon is full and heavy in the sky.
-- Nana

I am wondering about this piece. It reminds me of so many things! However, what I hope to hear is what you are thinking about as you choose your colors and create designs while you are actually creating. What is in the mind of the artist is important! That is one of the things I look forward to when you visit. Hearing your thoughts while you are creating will be so much fun! We will do art together!
-- Nana

Hi Kira, I have a T shirt with this artwork on it! It reminds me of a carnival with rides and excitement! Love, Nana
-- Johanna

Wow. Interesting. I wonder what this represents? It could be many things. I see a pattern of 3-3-2. The green triangles and the red stripes (three on the long rectangle/neck, three on the dome/body and two each on the smaller shapes (triangle, squares)) I wonder if the school would let the artist to give their work a title and allow the artist to comment on their work? Good job Kira. Thank you for sharing your work. I think one of your favorite colors is red and tints of red (lighter shades of red).
-- Nelson

Another wonderful creation. I can feel the golden sun setting behind tall trees or mountains within a purple sunset sky. Again, the use of variety in the color of the trees, the color of the buildings and each building has a slightly different design. Very beautiful.
-- Nelson

Beautiful! I love the bright colors. It looks festive and happy. I like the contrasting circles and curves with the zigzag shapes. Variety is the spice of life.
-- Nelson

Brilliant! It's a modern Picasso. I love that you are exploring different subjects. The use of different colors on the person is like representing the different emotions people have. I look forward to your next work of art.
-- Nelson

I really enjoy your artwork. Love you always. Grandma
-- Lucille

I love it! This is awesome!
-- Auntie Michele

This is great. Thank you for adding me to your fan club. I love your art work. Good job. I look forward to your next artwork. I hope they will be able to show 3-dimension art work too on your Website. Remember to keep a digital backup of your artwork so years from now it will bring back good memories of your time at school.
-- Nelson

I love your colorful and pretty dots. Please make more pictures. Love, grandma
-- Lucille

What fun to see your artwork, Kira! Everytime I look at it, I will smile and wish you were here so I could hug you.
