1/14/2017 0 Comments Final portfolio My theme was supposed to be Alice in Wonderland, but it turned out to be more of a colorful, surreal, fantasy theme. I chose this theme because throughout my works I have been using lots of color, drawing detailed eyes, and animals. Alice in wonderland is very diverse and absurd with whimsical ad colorful characters. It is one of my favorite movies. I thought that painting and making art under this theme would be fun and challenging.
I incorporated the theme in my artwork by creating a teapot, like at Mad Hatter's tea party. I painted a scene from Alice in Wonderland including many symbols. The painting I did on the chair fits in more with the colorful surreal theme and fits in with my interest in drawing eyes. I selected the chair because everyone else was doing it, but I needed a day or two to plan and figure out what I was doing for the rest of my project. The library wall was chosen because I wanted a large canvas that would be different from others I have worked with. The largest challenge I faced with the library wall was getting permission to paint a part of the school and working with the wall texture. The white paint was kind of runny and that did not work well with a vertical surface. But through patience and a lot of paper towels I was able to fill in each part of the painting and keep it from running down. I also feel as though my planning process has changed and impacted on how I create my art. Instead of just doodling, I have began mixing paints, making mind maps, listing step, and combining ideas. I think my final works really wrap up my art this quarter. They consist of the things I love to draw/paint and have practiced creating throughout the year. They have shown my growth in painting eyes, small details, and finding color combinations. I have seen a large change especially in the way I blend colors and work with clay.
