For my Quarter 2 project, I decided to limited palette painting. With limited palette painting, ONLY use 3 different colors of your choice to make other color using the 3 colors of your choice. I chose limited palette painting because I found it more difficult and challenging to do. Simply because, when you have created a piece of work and want to add color you would want to color with many choices. But, with this type of art your challenge is designing with only 3 colors which is difficult. My overall vision was to create a painting of flowers. Personally, I love flowers. The colors I chose were to have a specific meaning pertaining to myself. Flowers represent a sign of peace to me.

   In my piece, I believe that my artwork does not look like it was my first time painting opposed from my first painting in Q1 color wheel. My art is unique so I do not believe it fits into any specific category. Flowers reflect upon my own life by representing the death and reproduction. When one flower dies another grows. Never keep watering a dead flower with or without that dead flower there are many more flowers that are willing to grow. In life you lose many things, but for every loss there is a win of something new entering your life. My work and words could influence people to keep pushing in life no matter what dies off.

   Color is important in this project because that is the main thing that is being used to create this portrait. Overall, my project could have been represented better in connections with these my storyline behind it, but it was what was still enough to incorporate the idea.

  In Art 2, I have designed a color wheel with creativity. I decided to turn my color wheel into a girl holding an umbrella. I decided to name it Purple Rain in relations to the late singer, Prince. I thought that would be a really cool idea along with a relative poem. I really did not have a vision I just made decisions as I went. I know that my outline of the wheel could have been neater, that would be the only thing I know I could have fixed and been more careful on. Other than that, based off of my table presentations I think my project was creative. Art is a way of self expression it goes as it comes to mind.

             Contemporary art is basically what today is. My project relates to that by illustrating one of the best late singers death and cooperating it into a project, whom was my inspiration. In these past few years of art, I have experienced using color wheels, but this time I got to put my own creativity into my project including using a different technique. The technique I use was using paint with a knife to create a different pattern.Using techniques is important because when doing art you have to know how and what you are going to use in order to make your project successful.

1) Describe your project.

For my project , I bedazzled my flatiron. I designed my flatiron because I use it in my everyday life and I am interested in cosmetology doing hair.

2) What did you learn while completing this project?

During this project , I learn what to use for that specific tool because of the heat when it is turned on. You can use any type of jewels , but you need to have heat resistant glue so it will not melt off when you are doing your hair.

3) What was the hardest part about completing this project?

The hardest part about completing this project was not knowing what I should have done when I used it and my jewels fell off.

4) What was the most fun/exciting part?

The most fun/exciting part was being able to make something I really wanted on my own rather than buying one already made which is $300.

5) If you were to do this project over again, what would you do differently?

If I would have done this project over I would have completely covered my whole flatiron.
