Sticky Situation

This project was based off the idea of a "sticky situation" and got the idea of a flower because the middle of a flower has pollen which is sticky. I showed contrast by making some parts on the flower darker than others such as the pedals are darker around the center of the flower. A technique I used throughout this whole piece of art is repetition. The pedals on the flower are all the same as well as the grass. A risk I did take was to try and mix two colors in the sky and pedals. I was worried that the purple would turn out too bold and overpower the blue in the sky. Also the purple and red in the pedals mixed very well and is balanced. Overall I liked how my project ended up looking and very proud of myself on how well I used watercolor.

 

2. My fruit goblet helped me improve grow and improve as an artist because there were many new techniques that I had to use. This project took me a very long time and made me fall behind everyone else because i tried my hardest to paint all the pieces evenly. Also, i had to try to think of a way to stack the pieces of fruit so that they would look nice. I loved the outcome of this project after it got fired.

1. My favorite project would have to be the slab box because it was simple yet you could make it unique in your own way. My box turned out exactly how i wanted it and I love it! This project didn't take much time which I also liked, that way i could take my time and not rush through it.

   

 3.My coil vase was the most challenging project i did because not only did it fall apart twice, but i was trying to figure out a way to put thin zigzag coils towards the bottom without it sinking in. It was still enjoyable even though it was very stressful and after it got fired, a tiny section towards the bottom ended up breaking. Overall I was not pleased with the outcome of this project.

4. My teapot reflects me the most because its simple yet unique. This project didn't take me that long to build but painting took me awhile because I wanted the whole thing to be one color and not be faded in different spots like in some of my other projects. It took me awhile to think of an idea on what to make and I decided that the more simple, the better. I was very proud of this project and the way it turned out.
