1. My piece exhibits the theme "line" through its use of stripes and shading that add detail to the shapes.
2. I think my piece was successful in incorporating multiple shapes and patterns, utilizing the style of zentangle . However, I think that I should have taken more time to make my lines cleaner cut as well as bolder so that the shapes were more defined. Also, I think that I should've used less of the lighter ink color and more of the dark purple to again, make the shapes bolder and more defined.

Stars What are you grateful for Mediums/Techniques Tissue paper- collage Acrylic- sponge & splatter Pen Glitter Tape & Ink technique I used 5 different mediums, and 6 different techniques. 1. Tissue paper/collage- I layered varying shades of blue tissue paper on the postcard as a base for my night sky. 2. Acrylic/sponge- I used a sponge to create an ombré effect from dark to light with blue acrylic paint over top of the tissue paper. I used the sponge again to create the yellow moon (after drawing in the landscape). 3. Pen- I used a black pen to create the land shape at the bottom of the picture. 5. Acrylic/splatter- I used splatter technique (watering down paint then flicking it from the brush onto the canvas) to create the stars. 6. Glitter- I sprinkled glitter in the sky to add some sparkle to the stars. 7. Tape/ink- I printed out a quote by Gandhi and used the tape/print technique to attach the quote to the postcard. The tape/print technique works by placing a piece of tape on a paper with ink and rinsing the tape under water whilst scrubbing off the paper; after rinsing off the paper, the ink that was previously on the paper attaches to the tape. Stars What are you grateful for These words were my prompt/inspiration. I portrayed the first part of my prompt quite literally, depicting stars in a night sky. As for the second part of my prompt, I chose to show this inspiration through a Gandhi quote:
"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever." This quote, simple and elegant, eloquently describes the joy that comes from living a full life. With this in mind, what I am grateful for is life and knowledge. The theme of life and knowledge also led to me choosing a night sky full of stars, because this visual often represents space and the endless opportunities and wonders it holds. |
