I have created this work because I liked the idea of having a range of colors flowing from an object, it’s a very creative and interesting thing to draw and create.
My overall vision of my work seems to be very inspiring. I got a lot of compliments on what i did and it made me more confident in what I did. I had the picture in my mind and it came out almost exactly the way i expected it to mainly because of the object i used as my centerpiece. The paint’s that we used weren’t exactly what I imagined but it got the job done and brought my vision to life.
I expect my audience to appreciate the effort that i put into my artwork and to complement it on what it is. I would love constructive feedback because you can never improve too much.
I would say that my current work is just as good and my previous work, it just so happens that this one was just a different type of piece. I feel like it’s good to broaden my experience in the “artplace”. It relates in a way simply because it comes from the same place. Everytime I do a new piece it comes from me.
Current contemporary art and the work i have don are probably on two whole different scales in my opinion. Looking at contemporary art it make mine look like a child’s sketch. But that makes me better because I know my inspiration and as long as i keep doing what I have been my work will continue to get better over time.
History of art practice is exactly what we are bringing out every time we do a new piece of art. Using this “color wheel” method it brings about where our colors come from and how we use them in different ways that make them original. Even though it’s the same colors it’s a different piece.
I think my work would stand out in a group exhibition because of how bright my colors and and the technique i used.
My inspiration was tumblr. I love the photography that pops up when you google “Tumblr” it's a reflection of how i see everything. I always use that as my inspiration for my art. But i think think that if i used something else as my inspiration my work would be completely different.
If tumblr artists relates to “other artists” then i have been influenced by their style and use of color and fading tints.
A certain technique isn’t crucial but you must have an idea of what you want your work to look like in the long run so before you start you want to have a game plan and an idea of what you want your work to look like so if you follow those steps your work will come out as planned.
A new technique i have learned is the color wheel itself, i learned how to make tints and it reminded me of what my colors are and how to use them . I’ve never done a color wheel before so it gave me some insight on what colors i could use and how i could use them.
Overall I feel as though my art piece was meaningful to me in the best way possible, it brings out the artist in me and it shows my vision and love for owls. I think that choosing to do my piece this way really compliments my ideas and the requirements for the project itself. I think the time i spent on doing this work shows graciously and I’m very proud to show my work off to those who have not seen it yet, as well as all my other pieces i have done in the past.

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.

Quarter 1 Color Triangle

I created this work because I wanted to create a color wheel that was a little different than the traditional circle. Still, I wanted to keep it simple, so I created a triangle, since there are 3 primary colors, and 3 secondary colors. Also, everything is divisible by three, so I thought it would be pleasing to the eye if I created a triangle. In addition to the outside triangle, I put an upside down triangle in the bigger one to create the tints of all 12 of the primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. I put all the warm colors mostly together, the hot colors together, and the cold colors together and I expect the audience to recognize that. However, the change in colors doesn’t flow as easily as a circle. Everything that people make are made up of colors and everything in the earth is a certain color, whether it is an object or a painting of an object. So, a color wheel, or in my case, a color triangle, is used to compare the colors of actual objects to paintings that are being done, or in order to identify colors in any given painting or object. This applies to artwork I made with paint in school. Most of these artworks were self-portraits, and in order to make the painting as realistic as possible, I realized I had to mix colors in different levels to get the color that I need. So, I used the basic color wheel as a reference.

The color wheel is the base of all works of art, and many artists use a color wheel as reference for what the basic 12 colors look like. Therefore, color wheels have been used ever since the beginning of when art was first made. As far as work that is being made currently or in the past 10 years, there are many complex paintings and sculptures. An example of a contemporary artist who uses these colors is Frank Stella. In order for artists to make these artworks they have to start with the basic colors. The basic colors are found on the color wheel. I was inspired to do this interpretation of the color wheel by my own imagination. I didn’t look on the internet for any ideas, rather I just thought of different shapes I could do, and I came up with a triangle. Something I learned from doing this project is the ratio of the different colors. For example, if I am trying to make red-orange, I need to mix red and yellow together, but more red needs to be put in the mixture. So, the technique I learned is that you don’t need to mix red with orange to make red-orange, but I could just mix red and yellow together and simply put more red in the mixture. The technique of mixing paint is important to the work because I need to make sure the colors I mix are able to be recognized.
