The Place Project

In this piece, I wanted to create an imaginary skyline that combined several iconic buildings. I felt that the silhouettes of the buildings came out really well and look somewhat realistic. I liked the colors in the sky, but I struggled with making them look bright, vibrant and realistic.

I chose the article because it talked about a whale that was killed by eating too much garbage that had been in the ocean. It addressed the negative impacts that our wasteful and destructive actions can have on nature. I wanted to paint this subject because I wanted to address the issue it described

End of Term Reflection

I enjoyed almost all of the projects that we did this term, and am proud of a few of my pieces. I think the project that I had the most success with was the place project. I made the outline of a skyline in black and painted the sky with watercolors. I think that this was my biggest success this term because it fulfilled the requirements and I enjoyed doing it and I was happy with the way it looked at the end. The most trouble I had this term was doing the candy painting. It was difficult for me because I had never painted anything that size before, and I had trouble blending colors and making the candies, especially the Twizzlers and the wrapper look 3-D and realistic. I definitely feel like I've improved as an artist this term, and I've gotten more comfortable with the materials and the processes that we learned this year.
