Our project this quarter was to create a color wheel.  We had to use the primary, secondary, and tertiary colors and add tints to each of them.  I chose to make mine a flower because I enjoy drawing flowers and I thought it was a cool way to show off each of the colors.  I visioned my flower’s petals all having the same size pedals but when I drew it out it came out as one big pedal then two smaller ones in a continuing pattern.  I hope my audience enjoys my painting.  Even though it looks simple I hope they understand more goes into it then it looks like.  This work relates to previous work I have done because I have done a lot of drawings with flowers that look like this one.   I feel like my work fits in with current contemporary art because of all the bright colors.  When I looked up different pics of some current contemporary art, a lot were bright and abstract.  This project relates to the color wheel created by Sir Isaac Newton in 1706.  I got inspiration for my work from past things I have done.  I like to draw and sketch flowers so I got the idea from that.  An artist that has influenced me in my work is Keith Haring.  I just love the colors he uses and how everything pops out.  I feel I do a lot of my work like that.  I feel like my art could fit in with other bright abstract pieces.  I used a darker background to make mine really pop.  A certain technique that I used in my work was drawing the lines slowly so the pedals all looked even to each other.  I am very proud of this piece.  This piece is something that I know I am good at which is drawing flowers.  For my next project I hope to go out of my comfort zone and try to draw something new.  Art is something I love doing and I want to keep exploring it.
