sticky situation!

1. Explain how you developed your ideas for "Sticky Situation"i chose using an ice cream, cone fallen on the ground, because i wanted to choose something that would show something that was both sticky, and involves a bad situation , so i chose to paint an ice cream cone on the ground melting.2. Were you able to think outside the box when you were thinking about ideas?yes i decided to put cherries everywhere around the canvas to show repetition which was really outside of the box. 

3. You were to incorporate repetition, rhythm or pattern. How did you accomplish this?

i showed repetition in the amount of ice cream scoops and cherries in the background4. Describe your choice of media (acrylic, watercolor) and your challenges and successes while using it.i chose acrylic because i thought it would show the ice cream scoops and cherries as looking more realistic
5. How important were the mini lessons to the success of your final product?it showed me way or positions to put my ice cream cone in, but i liked it best sideways.

1. Up close and Personal was our theme. How did you develop your ideas for this project and why did you choose your subject? i chose to draw an orange to show how the inside of an orange looks and how up close it is.

2. How did you demonstrate Emphasis in your work? i showed a lot of emphases the way the orange is placed and the way the table is seen so you can see emphasis 

3. What medium did you decide to use and why did you choose this medium over the others? Discuss how it enhances your piece. i used prismacolors for my medium. i feel like with prismacolor is shows more texture
