Test Piece of Art: Flowers Still Life 

Made with gouache paint, crayon, colored pencil. 

This test piece was based off of just one element of art and design: composition. This gave me the opportunity to experiment with that one element and super simple formula:

  • centered (not perfect)
  • focused
  • simple

Final Piece of Art: Greenhouse Garden Castle!

Made with gouache paint, crayon, colored pencil.

This final project allowed me to experiment with multiple elements of art and design to play off of images I collected in my catalogue :)

Along with this subject matter, I picked three elements of art and design to focus on: composition, shape, and color. My formula for this piece was:

Composition

  • centered
  • storytelling

Shape

  • imperfect 
  • shapes within shapes

Color

  • saturated
  • overlapping?

Subject 

  • playful
  • greenhouse garden castle

 

I had a lot of fun creating my final work of art and learned that I can make a style of art that I enjoy with a formula of: storytelling, shapes within shapes, saturated and playful. :)
