I thought it was a lot of fun to make this project, but it was messy, and I don't think I would have the patience to do it again. I enjoyed working with my partner because we both had different ideas but we were able to combine them into one piece. She also helped me with the placement and composition. It was interesting to do because I usually do my art in a more orderly way, and this was more abstract. We didn't really have a theme, but we did try to tie the piece together with tissue paper and the sparkly ribbon.
This is one of my favorite pieces from the art show because I love how there is focus one just a few objects, but there are so many details hidden in the background, that still look so realistic. I love that you can see the stitching and texture in the chairs, and the texture of the bricks. You can also tell that there is a glass wall instead of it looking like a hole in the wall. I drew a portrait of my four year old cousin because I see her a lot so we are very close, and because she's cute. I chose oil pastel because I haven't used it a lot before and I wanted to try it out. I think the art criticism process is figuring out what needs improvement, how to improve it, and finally improving it. For this assignment I made a rangoli. A rangoli is an Indian design made on the ground outside of homes using vibrantly colored rice flour, to welcome in visitors. I made a rangoli because it is a part of my Indian culture and is something that my grandma and mom taught me to do when I was younger. I used acrylic paint on tiles, because tiles are similar to the ground. The part i found most difficult was making everything even and symmetrical. If I were to do this again, i would have planned it out a little more before painting. The skin warmup was the most helpful because even though I didn't paint a person, it taught me how to mix colors well. |
