Reflection
1. What is your project? What materials did you use to make it? How long did it take you to make?
- It is a painting of a scene from one of my favorite childhood movies. I used a 11x14 canvas and acrylic paint, it took me about 3 weeks to complete.
2. What are the good /strong parts of your project? What is done well and why?
-I really like the background and blending in the background because it's blended very well and I like the colors.
3. What do you think you could have done better on this project and why?
- I think I could have done a better job at making my two main characters look a little more realistic like the background, even though that is how they look in the movie, it still bothers me that they look so cartoonish and the background looks really cool and realistic.
4. What is the deeper meaning of the project? What are you trying to communicate? What details did you use to reflect that theme?
- There isn't a very deep meaning to the painting, I just love Fern Gully, in the scene though, this is the part where they start to develop feelings for eachother.
5. What are the important elements? Why do you believe those are the most important?
-Probably color and value, because if I didnt focus on those two the most, my painting would have turned out terrible.
6. What are the important principles? Why do you believe those are the most important?
-I would say contrast and movement, because the background is very dark cool colors but the foreground or my main emphasis is very bright and has more warmer colors. Movement because you look at the boy then up to the girl, then to her wings, then the background, then to the fog and back around again. (At least thats how I do it)
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 that it's hard to make a cartoon look realistic after you already painted it once. I'm not really sure how I can apply that to life but I can apply that to future paintings, that if I want to make a cartoon look realistic then I have to do it from the beginning.
