1. I plan to paint my piece with acrylic paint. I want to use bright colors for the shells, the anchor, and the fish to make them pop. I will use more neutral colors for the lid and the outer areas. 2. I found it difficult to make the lid. It was hard to make a lid that would stay on. It was also difficult to make the anchor and attach it to the top of the box. 3. I think the most successful part of my box so far is the seashells and the fish on the sides. I like the detail I added to them. 4. First I chose measurements for my box and then rolled out a slab. I lined up my measurements with the clay and cut them out. Then I used the scratch and slip method to put the box together. I made my lid, then all my details. Watercolor Warm up1. I found the watercolor technique activity the most helpful. It gave me lots of ideas and options for different techniques for my painting. 2. I like how there are so many unique techniques for watercolor. I think the final piece of a watercolor painting looks better than acrylic paint. 3. The most difficult part of watercolor for me is that you can't fix a mistake easily. It's easier when using acrylic paint, but it's harder with watercolor. T1. I used one point perspective.
2. I took this photo a few years ago at Cape Lookout on a family beach trip. 3. Mistakes were hard to cover up. The colors easily ran together in the piece if I was not careful. When I added too much watercolor the paper would wrap and not lay flat. 4. The sunset warm-up helped me the most. When I painted the sky and the grass, I took what I learned from the warm-up and incorporated in my piece. The most helpful perceptive warm-up was the one that introduced all three perspectives. It helped me so I could decide which one I wanted to use for my piece. |
