1. For my portrait, I chose to do myself. I chose to do myself, because I wanted to do a funny picture so I thought it was best to do it of myself.
2. I chose to use skittles. I chose them because I thought it was very different and not something that you would normally do in an art class. 3. The first thing I did was choose a funny picture of myself. Second, I put the picture on an app called pixlr and made it in orange. white, and red. Then I projected the image on to a piece of cardboard and traced it. After that, I colored some areas (based on my reference picture) which chalk. Then I started from the bottom row and i started gluing the Skittles row by row until I was finished. 4. I think that going row by row was successful, because it made sure that I didn't have to squeeze any Skittles into a small space. If i were to do this again I think I would have to change something to make the image more clear. I think it is kind of hard to see what is going on. I would change that if i could do it again, but I don't know how I would change it.

1. My piece shows off the theme of "line" because there are lines on the candy canes, plus the stripes.
2. It looks like my sketch, so I would consider that successful. I accidentally made some of the lines too deep in the background, so if I had to change something I would change the deepness of the lines. I think I also made a couple of the lines too wide. 1. My painting is representing New York CIty. It is important to me because that is where my dad lives. Everytime I go to visit him, we walk around the city and I see many shots that look like the one I painted.
2. Making the colors from day-to-day was the most challenging for me, It was hard to go back to cover something I had done the day before and make the exact same shade of the color. 3. I think all of the straight lines in my piece is the most successful part. 4. I started with the background. I painted the top right corner first, then moved to the left as the buildings got bigger. Then I painted the road and sidewalk last. In progress1. I plan to paint the box itself white and paint the vines green. I want to do the handle green too. I didn't attach flowers to the box, because they wouldn't stay, so I think I'm going to paint little red spots to look like flowers.
2. Making the vines stick to the sides of the box and making the handle stay. 3. I think I made the the walls of my box even and smoothed on the top. 1. From doing all of the warm-ups, I learned a lot about mixing colors to create another the right or realistic shade of another color.
2. I think making browns is going to be the most helpful because there is a lot of brown in my piece. 3. I think I learned the most the first paint mixing(color matching) exercise because I did not know the correct way to mix colors before doing it. 4. You make brown by mixing opposite colors, like: purple and yellow; blue and orange; or green and red. 5. You tone down a color by adding a small amount of white to it. |
