Reflection
1. Describe: What is your project? What materials did you use to
make it? How long did it take you to make?
- My project is an acrylic painting of a photo I found online. It took me about a full month to get it done.
2. Evaluate: What are the good / strong parts of your project?
What is done well and why?
- I think the good/ strong parts of my painting are the eyes and the roses because I shaded them very well and used alot of paint to get them the right color.
3. Evaluate: What do you think you could have done better on
this project and why?
- I think I could have done better on the shading of the face. I think it looks great but it took me a really long time to get it right and I think I could have done it a little bit better.
4. Describe the attributes of your theme / unity:
- My theme is relay for life. This picture has many different colors in it and I did that for a reason. The different colored roses are supposed to represent the different ribbon colors of cancer. I know I dont have all the colors in there but that is what they stand for.
5. What are the important elements? Why do you believe those are
the most important?
- I believe color and shape are the most important elements because well its a VERY colorful picture and it wouldn't be that way without the color. I think shape is important also because in order for a rose to look like a rose, it needs to have the right shape, and in order for a face to look like a face it needs to have the right shape.
6. What are the important principles? Why do you believe those are
the most important?
- I would have to say unity and proportion are the most important principles in my painting because it wouldn't have turned out the way I wanted it to if it wasn't in proportion, and unity brings the proportion and everything else together to make it beautiful.
7.What did you learn from this project that you could apply to other projects in the future? What lessons could be applied to life in general? Why?
- I learned it takes time to get things to turn out the way you want them to. If you try to rush it, it will become a huge mess and no one likes messes.
