Limited Palette Painting
My artwork is based off the book The Giver by Lois Lowry. The image represents where The Giver gave Jonas his first memory. I went with this idea because it was one of my favorite books that i really enjoyed reading and I thought it would be a good idea to share with the rest of my classmates. My vision was the dream and he work area because that is the main setting in the story/movie. They noticed that it came from the book and the remember the area where they shared the dreams. I achieved trying to get my vision on to the canvas board, and mixing the colors that I choose to make other colors. While creating this project, the color wheel we made before really helped my know how to mix the colors and know which colors go where and how it mixes. I enjoyed an artwork by Sandy Skoglund called Gathering Paradise, it compares to my work because she only focuses on the three colors like the purpose my my project and it goes all together and the different colors makes each object pop out more. For example her squirrels are a dark purple trying to make it noticed in the painting, and in minds i made the house and the apple and the chairs a shade of red to make it notice like it’s the main attention of the project. In the beginning of the project I was brainstorming and the book The Giver was the first thing that came to my mind. So i immediately started looking for pictures about his first dream which was the cabin in the woods and the area of where all the dreams were shared. I then started to try and get the exactly image of the dream and area on my sketch book and made a few differences to my drawing I was hard trying to make the image of the dream because that wasn’t exactly how the dream was like. After I finalized my drawings I wanted to add quotes from the story just so people can get an idea of the painting. I can say the hardest part was trying to put my idea onto the canvas board and making sure the picture was big enough to take up space of the board. I was going to create a frame but I had trouble getting it done on time. The images that were found on google images was really helpful to me so create the drawing(https://www.google.com/search?q=the+giver&rlz=1CADEAC_enUS715US715&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwim_q7aj8zRAhWDQyYKHda6BA4Q_AUICCgB&biw=1366&bih=702). This reflects my own self because it represents me and how my ideas are, I enjoy drawing things that I enjoy doing if it’s about dance books etc. This drawing will impact others because they might think about the book and would want to read and maybe they will get an idea about creating something about the book like I did and share it with others. You have to be very careful with your lines, don’t try about move a lot so it doesn’t mess up, and something really important that I learned this project is concentrating to make sure everything is well put together
