I Create Original Art
In my mixed media piece I created original art. One way I did this was by coming up with my own idea instead of going off someone else's idea. I decided to make my piece called techno land and one way it was original was by taking my own pictures. Not all of my pictures in the collage where mine but a lot were which makes it even more original. I think i did good on this piece and I'm happy most of it was original.
I Developed My Art Making Skills
This piece helped me develop my art skills dramatically. This is because I was working with a lot of new materials and techniques. This was my first collage so the gesso and gel were completely new this helped me learn how to work with new materials and techniques. Overall this collage probably helped me develop my art making skills more than any other project.
I Reflect
During the mixed media piece reflection played a big part in my piece coming together. I reflected on my work almost every time I added something new to a piece. This is important to do while making a collage in order for it to come together as a piece. The way I did this was by stepping back and looking at and deciding if the new thing would fit in and if so where would it. Reflecting helped me tie my piece together and make it look a lot better than it would have.
Practice Mixed Media
Even though I was not necessarily happy with my work in my practice, I'm glad we did practice before the real project. this helped me get a feel of what collages are like and the materials I would be working with. I think the practice was definitely not my best work but it really helped me with my final piece
