Beginning this project I felt it would be the most challenging, because of the color, and reflections of light. As I continued to work on the piece I started to have a better understanding of the object. I focused on the color, and drew what I saw. I liked incorporating all the different colors, and emphasizing them with complementarities. The body is red-orange, and the tail is blue. So I put cool colors on the blue parts to emphasize the blue hues, and warm colors such as yellow to emphasize the orange. | By emphasizing these colors, I could make the tail, and fins, really complement the red body. I then drew a faded white line to make it look like a glass table. Then I put in the distorted dark shadow. I noticed I worked faster with prismacolors in this piece. I am comfortable with this medium now. I learned in this project how colors really play a major part when working with prismas. |

Using prismacolors I am creating a piece that represents different elements of math. I am placing a compass in the front left, math textbook in the middle, and stack of textbooks in the background. The twist is that a slice of the textbook is cut out revealing a pie inside. I drew a pie to make a pun from the pi used in math. Here is my progress so far: This project was not easy at all. I worked over the snow days, but I still had so much to do. Over the break I finished the pie, but the background was still blank.
It took me about two days to finish the background, but the compass and adding detail to the wood table took a whole class time. I thought of this project the week where I was frustrated in my math class. I felt completely lost. I did not understand, even if the teacher told me step-by-step. Math has always been a challenge for me. I did this project to express that it is not has hard as I make it. I make math an obstacle for myself by panicking and thinking negatively. Here is my final project: |
