Landscape Mixed Media

For my project this quarter I choses to do mixed media, which made me use different media in a way that I never have before to form one individual piece. The criteria for making this piece of work was that I had to use at least 3 different medias.

When starting to form my ideas as to what I was going to make, I started out by thinking about the different medias that I wanted to use. I thought about a lot of different things but in the end I decided that I wanted to use newspaper,string,paint, construction paper, and glue. Once I had the materials down I thought about what I wanted to make. I thought that the materials would make a good landscape picture . After that I got started using the materials and seeing how they worked together. I wanted the background of the picture to have the newspaper and than I would paint over that to make the grass and sky and things. And lastly use the string and paper to add to the picture making clouds and more grass.

Finally once my art work was finished I was most proud of how my materials work together, especially the newspaper background and the paint. I think that the newspaper background made my artwork special because it made the texture that I wanted. If I had to change one thing about my artwork it would be that I would move the sun to the middle on the horizon line. Other than that I think that my artwork turn out very well and I learned that I just have to trust the process in which I work and it will all work out.
