1. My piece shows the theme of "line" because of the stylised way that it presents a well-known image. From the original scene in the movie "The Nightmare Before Christmas", I added lines in the sky and to the ground to add depth and a more interesting composition.
2. I think my piece was successful in the way I changed a scene and added to it to make it more interesting as a print. If I were to do it again, I think I would change a couple things. First, I would find a way to make the figure on the hill more detailed and rendered a bit better, because it was really hard to make the thin lines. Additionally, I think I would pick a less detailed scene, so I could represent it a bit better.

1. I used 2 point perspective in this photo- the two corners of the school are the two points where the lines converge, even if one isn't technically in the photo.
2. I took this photo in front of the school after a football game- the sky looked really pretty, so I took a picture. 3. It was really hard to get the sky to look reasonable, mostly because I find it really hard to create gradients with watercolors. 4. The watercolor techniques were helpful because they helped me figure out different techniques to get different looks in my piece. The hallway was really fun to make and helped me figure out orthogonal lines. 1. The watercolor technique page was helpful warm up, because it helped me learn a lot of different kinds of techniques that turned out to be really helpful in creating my piece.
2. I like how watercolors aren't too messy, because I tend to make a mess when I paint. Additionally, I like how watercolors can have varying levels of opacity, which makes them really easy to work with. 3. Watercolors are difficult to work with because I tend to use too much water or scrub too hard, and it makes the paper pill. I also find blending colors and creating gradients with watercolors really hard. |
