Appropriation final


4. Artists take risks.

- try new things

- experiment

Did you try something that you weren’t sure about as part of this project?

Did you pick a material or technique that was new or different over something that was familiar?
I have never done anything cartoon-like, or comedy before in one of my arts so that was defiantly risk taking since though I might not come together on not well planned. I tried doing the window in the apple and I felt like it would take away the art from the actual work or it would distract it. I wasn't very sure about doing the rays of light coming out of the laptop but it came togethrer. maybe not like how id hoped but it still looks nice.
7.
I stepped back and looked at my art work when i had painted the apple and laptop i wanted to see if it was well put. 
I liked my work and my progress until i started doin it a little sloppy. 
2. The techniques i used was water color. I used it sometimes without the water to give it a contrastin color.

Appropriation questions


4. Artists take risks.

I have never done anything weird or switched like i have in this appropriation project. I defiantly took some risk in creating the sponge green background since i have never used sponge art before. I felt like this project wasn't for the title appreciation but it all came together andi like   the idea. Using the sponge was defiantly something i wouldn't use but it came together.  

7. Artists reflect.

- analyze work and process

When did you step back and analyze you work during this project?

I felt like i was just making this up and that it was gonna turn out bad but its going very well. I defiantly stopped when i was using the sponge because I wasn't very convinced. 

 6. Artists solve problems.

- try alternative solutions

- use mistakes as learning opportunities

How did you respond to challenges that occurred as you worked?

Did your work take an unexpected turn due to a mistake or did something happen that was unplanned?

I had some issue with designing the laptop. I wasn't used to eye point. I had some issue with the sponge idea too. I would be using the sponge and some areas would look "spongy" and others looked like regular paint.

Text project

I used this idea because i thought it was very simple and creative. I liked how it was easy going, nota lot   was going on in the page. I had a ballon drifting in the blue sky with text instead of the ballon string with the words "sometimes you just have to let go".

Tensions project.

For this project i tried to show tension by pulling a rope from both ends causing tension. With only one string attached also.
