My chair is unique because I made it and it represents me. My chair represents my life and what I'm striving for in my future. What motivated me to do a tree house and all the other elements on my chair was that I want to make something of my life. There are alot of emotions and voice in my chair, its more than just pictures. Like the saying that a picture is worth a thousand words, well in this case its a chair is worth a thousand words. My inspirations comes from my family and making them proud. My chair consist of the resting part is a tree house and the back is alot of tools and blue print, to me that represents the tools are what it takes to build your life and the right tools to make the tree house express the right choices to get to your goal. My parents gave me everything when they had nothing so i could go to school and have everything that i need. I pay them back by being the first on in my family to graduate high school and go off to college. I think that ive always based my art work and what manifest in it is my culture and background. So many people come here from mexico to be someone to have a voice and even though it may seem like they have little to them they have enough.
Honestly my work will always include my background and culture, my past is a big part of me and its shaped me into the person I am now. I will forever be grateful with all the things that my parents have done for me. Coming where I am from will always be influential in my artworks, it will always include a part of me and my current emotions toward life. The uniqueness of my chair is inspired by what I want in life and how I want people to view me. Having a voice in your artwork is very important it lets the people know what ypu are reaching for and what your theme is. My goal since I was little was to graduate high school. Being up on that stage getting that hangshake and my diploma, a smile and tears from my mom will forever be my dream and be included in each of my art work. Because she has done the impossible to make it happen.

Critical//final
The artist I choose to critic is Skid Robot, he is a street artist who draws dream bubbles on the walls behind sleeping or passed-out homeless people, and he fills those bubbles with what he imagines their fantasies would be. He also draws scenes around where they are staying, painting woods behind tents or 2D bedrooms around mattresses on the streets. At first when I just saw the picture of an old homeless man laying down in his matress and a 2D painting of a bedroom in the back of him i felt bad because he doesnt have that and the artist shouldnt really be using them and exploiting them. When I then read the article on the picture i understood what he was doing and how he would pay back. I thought it was really cool of him to give back to the homeless by giving them care packages since he was using them as a subject of art and would ask for permission to paint in the wall they were by so they would not feel offended. Skid said he felt bad that he was using "So the next day, I went to the 99-cent store and bought snacks and toiletries and made care packages for these people. That way, when I do roll up, I have something to give them." I think that Skid also raises awarness and actually gets the people who use to pass right by them to stop and look and think. I feel like that is what art should be about to make you stop and look and think. He is currently raising money at gofundme so that he can bring his art and care packages to other cities across the country. When you see the picture you may think that the homless person drew it, but i think that was what the artist was going for so that the people that stop and look at the art and see how its what they wish or dream of. The craftsmanship isnt really great but i think only since street art is illegal he doesnt take his take to make it perfect. I think only some people can relate to this because some of the most successful people today started out woth nothing and when they see this they would be reminded of their past. picture to critical final
