Texture Sculpture





Reflection Questions
1. My collection of texture could have been more varied. I had the texture of the rope, the cheese cloth, and the smooth texture of the wood.
2. I tried to create contrast on my sculpture, I contrasted the cheese cloth and the wood, and the skewers and the rope.
3. I think that making abstract pieces can be more interesting and also harder than recreating things that already exist because you have to come up with the design entirely with nothing to go off of/
4. My process folio shows my understanding of texture because I tired to find a lot of different textures to use in all my works.
5. I was always trying to find new ways to rework what I already have. I played around with different backgrounds for my sculpture and different ways of accenting the design with the skewers
6. I took inspiration from my final prints, but it tried to differentaite.
7. I wa involved in the reflection process.
8. I was able to communicate my acetic idea s pretty well

Digital Diptychs Reflection

1. For this project we used the color mixer app and adobe photo shop. Photo shop was very helpful because I could see the actual numbers of the hex coding and slide the colors on color mixer to match them instead of just guessing. It was still very hard to be exact about the numbers though.
2. My skills of observation improved with the photo taking process of this project. I had to keep my eyes out for any color schemes I could find. I never realized how many colors there are around branson and found color schemes in unexpected places, like the red stop sign and the green street sign.

Pop-art

Reflection
1. For this project, we used paints and paintbrushes. I really liked being able to experiment with different brush sizes and styles to get varied paint applications. For the paints, enjoyed mixing the colors and getting a variety of shades.
2. I feel like my skills of observation improved with this project. I tried to take good observations of the dark and light in my paintings and I feel that it can be seen especially in my blue painting.
