Pop Art Project



          The strongest aspect of my work was my color choice. I like the way that I made the colors look like they should go together. Even if the colors are very different, The ones that I used look well together, such as the purple and green. One thing I could have improved on is the placement of each of the four panels. I think the monochromatic blue panel would look better next to the panel with the tertiary colors (purple and green). I don't think that the analogous and the monochromatic should be next to each other. 

          The easy part about this activity was coloring the panels. You could be very creative with it and the task itself of coloring the panels is tedious and fairly simple. All you had to do was use the magic wand to outline which parts you wanted to color. Then, from there, you just continue to do that for each panel. The difficult part about this activity was following the directions. I found them quite confusing at first. However, once I understood what they were saying and what I had to do, the project became much simpler. 

          I demonstrated the objective in the this art activity by using a monochromatic panel, an analogous panel, a complimentary panel, and a tertiary panel. The monochromatic panel had 3 hues of blue, the analogous panel had orange, red and yellow, The complementary panel had a teal color, an orange color, and a lighter teal, and the last tertiary panel had black, light purple and a lime green.
If I could do this activity again, I might try and use different ways of combining colors. For example, instead of using tertiary colors, I might use secondary colors instead.

Polaroid Project



     The strongest aspect of my work is the color scheme I think. i like the way that each polaroid has a different color and that whatever is inside that polaroid is also that color. I think it really divides up the main picture which adds to the effect of there being multiple polaroids with different pieces of the main picture. However the background  piece of art could have been made better. Compared to the quality of the photo, the background doesn't seem to fit.

     The easiest part of this activity was that we could place the polaroids wherever we wanted. There was no specific form the polaroids had to take. They could be placed randomly. But, the hardest part about this activity was having layer the polaroids correctly and make them look they they are on top of one another.

     I demonstrated the objective in this activity by using polaroids layered on top of one another and using one photo to make it look like the polaroids each contain part of the picture. I erased parts that were not included within the polaroids and made sure there were no polaroids in which you could see another separate polaroid within it. iF i could do this activity again, I would do the background differently. I think that if I made a better background, the work of art, as a whole, would be much more appealing.
