Summary of my Art Project

Summary of my Art Project I like the soft tone that fabric creates. I chose a piece of corduroy

and folded it into a U shape. For the chalk paining, I selected a

small area where was the turning part of the U shape and enlarged it.

In order to achieve the tenderness of the material on my drawing, I

used tissue to blend the areas so the gradual change from light to

dark was successfully completed. I also found that when I made the

shadow part really dark and the light part really light, the

three-dimensional vision was represented strongly. Although the mood

of this drawing was soft, I still slightly regret that the folding was

too simple.

I selected an area from the chalk paintings and made it into a larger

scale. Again, I wanted it to have a soft appearance, so I used wide

strokes to make it less defined. As the centre colour is bright red, a

strong contrast was made by darkening the background. I thought a

totally black background would be dreary so three different cold

colours were used to stand the subject out. However, when I looked at

the finishing painting, I thought three colours for the background

were too much. I think just blue and green would well create the

shadows.

This was painted by water colour which was a quick sketch of my final

piece. I always find that water colour is a difficult medium to

represent images, as it is extremely hard to entirely blend two

colours. Besides, it is time consuming( takes a while to dry). Another

disadvantage is that the sides of the paper becomes curly as it dries.
