For this project, I made a dark blue fish with orange and light blue fins. I chose these colors because orange and blue are opposites on the color wheel, so they go well together. If I were to do this project again, I would have made the fish's shape more even, and I would have made the other body parts more to scaLe. I would also try to paint in many layers, so that I could cover all of the fish, and not have any translucent parts.
For this assignment, I chose to draw Tom & Jerry, and drew Van Gogh's "Starry Night" as the background. I used oil pastels, because that medium would be good for making many strokes, and blending the colors together. I chose to draw Tom & Jerry because that is one of my favorite cartoons. I chose to draw "Starry Night" because it is a very well known piece made by a popular artist. I also thought that the colors in Van Gogh's piece would go well with the colors I used to draw Tom & Jerry. For this assignment, I chose to morph a giraffe, goat, and elephant together. I chose these animals because goats are my favorite animals, giraffes are my sisters favorite animal, and elephants are my moms favorite animal. I chose the most prominent body part of each animal:the neck of the giraffe, the horns of the goat and the trunk of the elephant. I chose to do acrylic paint because I wanted a smooth piece with shine, and I thought that acrylic paint would help me blend in the colors. I chose purple and bronze for the background because purple is my favorite color, and also happens to be the opposite of yellow on the color wheel, which is the color of the animal's neck, and I thought the shine of the bronze would bring attention to the piece. I liked how the features of the animal came out, but i didn't like that the edges weren't straight or sharp. I also disliked how i couldn't blend as well because the paint dried very quickly on the paper. I think that if I used a thicker paint so it wouldn't be as see-through, and I used a canvas, I could avoid these problems in the future. |
