Perspective
In my perspective project, I took it as how people look at their world and what their perspective is on life and the world around them. Before I started this project, I asked people how they read: LIFEISNOWHERE . The majority of people said that it read as, " life is no where" while some small children and one classmate read it as, "life is now here". so in my project, I could really find out who's glass is half empty or half full.
I
chose to just write the letters together in block letters so it was
easy to read and wouldn't take away from the idea of the viewer to not
really think about what they are reading, so that it's more of an
instinct. A lot of people that were reading it would say, "life is no
where" and then try and correct themselves saying "life is now here"
trying to decide what they wanted to say or not. However, I always
looked at what they said first when I asked them what they saw in my
art. I chose to paint it on wood because I liked the texture and how
"lifey" it looked.


Layering
Another
one of my ideas for the layering project were to do the layers of
melted crayon wax on a piece of cardboard (or another type of medium
that wouldn't be affected by the heat) and put all different shades of
blue on it and cover the whole thing. Then, in the middle, put yellow
and make a sun.
I
decided to use the crayon way because I had seen people do the melted
crayon wax on a canvas and let it drip and I liked how thick it looked
on the canvas. I decided to use styrofoam balls because I wanted my
project to be 3D and not just on a paper or canvas.
We
encourage risk taking in art. Risk taking can be as simple as trying a
new technique or learning about a new medium to as complex as trying
something totally new. What
risks did you take creating this project? I took a big risk I think
with this project because I normally do not do sculptures and I have
never used any sort of wax. So, i was very nervous while in the process
of making this.
Of the 5 characteristics of great art, I used the new and medium characteristics. I think my project turned out good. I like the way they sit on each other and the different colors.
