My most successful project was a self portrait I created in December. This was my most successful project because I was able to express a part of myself with only my art work. The point of the portrait was to show the darker inner thoughts that we all have. I used black stick figure women, created out of charcoal, to represent these thoughts while the rest of my portrait was done in watercolor. If I could do one project over again I would recreate my firework piece. Although I was overall satisfied with the piece, I felt as if I should have not used pencil to outline the fireworks. This is because once the hot glue was peeled off of the canvas there were still pencil marks. I also would have been more careful using the heat gun because of the hot glue and its potential to melt itself. Once the hot glue melted and the outline of the fireworks were distorted it became hard for the fireworks to have a more distinct shape. If I had to choose two of my artworks to compare I would choose my lemon and orange pieces. This is because although both pieces were inspired by fruit they are very different. The orange was a more traditional piece with it being a still life and its medium being pastel. In that piece I focused on how light affected the orange. My lemon piece was more modern. Although it was still life I opened the lemon up and captured the inner parts of the lemon. The medium was a lin-o-print with different colored inks. This piece was commonly referred to as the smiling lemon. I think an interesting new unit would be self portraits but with hidden meanings
