When it comes to art I don't have that much of an imagination. I couldn't really decide on what my process drawing will be. So I did my best to relate to it as much as possible.
My process was simple. I put a blank poster on the floor, slightly wet my basketball, and started dribbling on the poster until I dribbled on most of the poster. I wish the ball was a bit dirtier and the poster much bigger. The drawing isn't very clear so you'll have to look very closely.
I am student-athlete currently pursing a bachelor's and a master's degree in Secondary Education. I want to become a math teacher and Phy Ed teacher at my former middle school. I am also pursing my dream of becoming a professional basketball player. After obtaining my bachelor's degree, I intend on playing pro basketball. Whether it be getting drafted to the NBA or overseas in Europe. Finally, when I retire from pro basketball, I will pursue my master's degree and begin my teaching career.

Metropolitan Museum of Art - Mercury Zone III
1. The painting entitled "Mercury Zone III" was created by Al Held in 1975. It was made using acrylic on canvas with the dimensions H. 96 x W. 143 inches.
2. I think the artist was trying to bear witness to shapes in 3-dimensional views. Also how they appear within each other as well.
3. The artist communicated this story visually by showing his understanding on how shapes look in 3-dimensional views. As well as how shapes would look when put inside within another shape.
4. I don't know how this painting was made but I'm assuming it was done with technology. The circles look perfectly drawn to be down by hand without using some sort of technology. Maybe done by a compass and the straight lines were probably created using a ruler. It looks like the artist used different brush sizes as well.
5. The materials or manner in which they are applied helps the artist tell his story because they show 3-dimensional views of the shapes and were drawn well.
6. I picked this work of art because Math is my favorite subject and
I like how all these shapes are drawn.

Metropolitan Museum of Art - View of the Interior of the Pantheon
1. The "View of the Interior of the Pantheon" was a painting done by Giovanni Paolo Panini in 1734. The medium was oil on canvas and the dimensions are 127cm x 98cm.
2. I believe Giovanni was bear witnessing to how the pantheon looked on a day to day basis on the inside.
3. Giovanni communicates this story visually by painting people inside the pantheon, painting how the sunlight looks when entering the pantheon through the dome. He especially painted every detail of the interior of the Pantheon, every person's shadow, shadows of structures, and shows depth perception in the painting.
4. The painting was made using paint, oil, painting brush, and a canvas, and possibly charcoal. I think the artist first sketched the painting using charcoal. Then he applied the already mixed colored paint that also has oil mixed inside. After he finishes, he lets it to dry. I really don't know how the painting was made but this is my idea of how its made.
5. The materials or manner in which they are applied help the artist tell his story especially well because he demonstrates depth perception and shadowing. He also pays close attention to every little detail. For the viewer, its as if we are at the Pantheon standing right at the artist's point of view.
6. The only thoughts I have on this work of art is that it is amazing. It's, like I said, as if I was there inside the Pantheon. Really makes me want to go visit the Pantheon.

Metropolitan Museum of Art - Limestone statue of a man holding a mask in the form of a bull's head
1. The "Limestone statue of a man holding a mask in the form of a bull's head" sculpture has no information on the artist. The medium for the sculpture is limestone. The dimensions are 67 inches in height. It was sculpted in the 2nd half of the 4th century B.C.
2. This sculpture is bear witnessing to a man who is a priest. He is holding a mask in the form a bull's head that he would have worn when involved in a religious ritual in Cyprus. The religious ritual probably had a God associated with fertility.
3. The artist is communicating this story visually by sculpting the priest and his ceremonial outfit. I can't say if the sculpting is lifelike but it was very proportional to an actual man.
4. The Greek sculptures used various tools and techniques to make these sculptures. They would start at the top of the medium chosen and work their way down. Arms and limbs were usually done separate and then added on. Also the sculptures were using a small scale model to guide proportions.
5.The materials or manner in which they are applied help the artist tell his/her visual story especially well because it the statue is very lifelike. You can clearly see the ceremonial attire. In addition, the medium chosen gives the statue durable to time.
6. One thought I have on the statue is about the missing head. I don't know if the statue's head broke off or if the sculpture didn't sculpt the head. As well as the man's right arm which is incomplete, or maybe it broke off. Whatever the reason, it makes the statue more interesting and its what caught my attention.

1. What do I want people to know about me; what makes me interesting?
What makes me interesting is what I want people to know about me. I am an all around natural athlete with raw talent in any sport. My favorite sport is basketball. I have been playing basketball for as long as I can remember. My exceptional athleticism and natural talent makes me an interesting basketball player to watch. I I don't really talk about how good I am in basketball, I just love to play the game the best way I can. I am grateful for this gift and I will continue playing basketball as long as I can.
2. If there was one thing I would want to "bear witness" to, that would be remembered, whether it be something about myself, something about my family or culture, or a problem with the world that needs to be fixed, what would that be?
I would like to bear witness to world peace. No more wars, no more racism, no more stealing, no more starvation, and no more prejudice. I want people to be able to travel any where in the world without fearing for their safety. I want kids all over the world to have a decent education. I don't want to hear about genocide or invasions going on. I want to witness true happiness in the world. I would do anything in my power to bring this world closer to world peace.
