The word my piece is representing is happy. It successful represents this word because of the bright/happy colors. The first layer of my piece was newspaper (mainly words) and then my second layer was tissue paper. The colors were light oranges and pinks and a little blue this way you could still see the words from the newspaper. I then put some comics on from a newspaper and did white tissue paper with sparkles on it so you could see the comic, but it would have sparkles. My third layer was yellow paint and pink ink sponged together. My fourth layer was black bubble wrap, which i put around the outside of the paper. My last layer was 3-d dragon flies. Its hard to tell in the picture, but the body of the dragon fly is pasted to the paper and the wings are coming off the page.
(We couldn't put the video on here so we sent it to you in an email.)
I worked with Alyssa on this project. She did the picture taking and put the video together and i drew most of the pictures. I was really happy with the idea of the video, but it would have liked to change the way the video was put together. We didn't take the pictures in the app so it messed it all up when we made the video My limitation for this project was using blueberry and strawberry juice, so i chose to splatter it all over the page. My main problem was thinking that it wasn't enough. I really wanted to do something cooler with it, but there wasn't anything i could think of. I do really love the way it turned out though, so i decided to just keep it the way it is.
I really enjoyed this mini lesson. I have always enjoyed working with clay, but this time i learned more about detailing and how different tools could be used to add detail. I think that the ombre color in the fish turned out very successful. If i were to do something different i would probably make the scales more noticeable and change the size and color of the eyes.
From this mini lesson i learned that it takes some creativity to create something out of just something random. I guess if you already had an idea in mind it would be easier, but if not it takes some thinking. I think the flowers turned out pretty successful. I liked the way they turned out and the colors. If i were to do it again i would change the way the part of the hot air balloon where you stand looks and add some more detail to it.
From the Newspaper Art mini lesson I learned that you can pretty much make anything you want out of newspaper and call it art. I really liked the concept of it, but for my piece I don't think it was very successful. For next time I am going to try to establish a more creative idea.
