My Art
Hannah Rose Wieman
My earliest memory of art is when I was in Elementary school when I won a contest for a picture I drew around Easter. This is when I realized I loved drawing. From then on, I became more and more confident in my skills. When someone's attention gets caught by my art and they are impressed, it'e the best feeling. This is one of my motivations when creating art. I don'y have a particular style, but I have preferences of what I do and don't like to draw or paint. My favorite things to do are realistic (ex: animals, people, etc.), zen tangles, and white charcoal on black paper. Art is the one place I can run to to let loose and do what I want. There is nothing better than making other people mesmerized by what you have created.
Now that I am a senior in high school and have taken about 5 or 6 art classes, my skills have improved and I have figured out my preferences. I know art will always be a hobby of mine and I will continue to improve and become more creative throughout life.
Jellyfish Umbrella
This is one of the most original drawings I have ever done, and I love the end result.
Queen of Hearts
I created this collage with small pieces of magazine pages.
Parrot
I used acrylic and tempera paint to create this painting of a realistic/graphic parrot.
Patriotism
Broken Frame
This was my favorite piece I did during my last semester of art. I only had a couple days of class to finish it and I knew I wanted to make it really good, so I ended up not finishing on time. I took it home a couple weeks later and finally finished it and I love the end result!
American Flag
There is a funny story behind this picture. After I drew this around the 4th of July in 2014, I posted it on Twitter with the hashtag #merica. Without me knowing, there was a contest American Standard Air was doing for anyone who used that hashtag on their photo. ASA nominated me for the contest, and I ended up winning! My prize was $250 that came to me about a month later.
Zen Tangle Dolphin
As I explained in another piece, I use zen tangles in my art a lot. I drew this for one of my friends in 2013.
Toucan
This is one of my favorite pieces I have done. I drew this in my art class and of course, had to throw in my zen tangles. This is definitely one I will hold onto all my life.
Black and White Flowers
This art project made me never want to draw another flower. White charcoal on black paper is another one of my favorite techniques.
Hidden Heart
One of my favorite things to do in art is zen tangles and random designs. I saw a similar image online, but a hand that looked like it was lifted out of the page, so I wanted to change it up a little.
Giraffe
Animals are my favorite objects to draw, so I wanted to take on a giraffe for this art project. It turned out better than I was anticipating while I was working on it.
Happy Dream Catcher
I was commissioned by my friend to draw this for her birthday. She wanted a dream catcher, but something happy. I drew the beads on the dream catcher as a smiley face to fulfill her request. The feathers are my favorite part of this piece.
Unique Elephant
This elephant was painted with acrylic paint on a wood canvas. I glued down sand on the tusks and painted of the sand because this art project required a texture. This is another all-time favorite pieces of mine.
Sunflower
This sunflower was the first time I ever did white charcoal on black paper. It was when I realized it was my favorite technique.
Zen Tangle Giraffe
The first time I ever experimented with zen tangles was on this giraffe I did several years ago. I am very happy with the way it turned out.

White Rooster
This drawing was part of a portfolio I created for the Scholastic Art & Writing competition. I used torn magazine papers to create it.
