1. Define which techniques you tried and mastered? Struggled?
Through this piece of art, I was working at mastering the element of value. Ensuring that the shapes and shades were all accurate to the actual picture was something that was rather time consuming and so it took me a while to actually ensure that I was getting all of this completed accurately to ensure that the finished product even somewhat resembled the original picture.
2. How did you draw inspiration from other artists techniques or aesthetics in your work? In what ways did you derive meaning or gain historical perspectives from their work? Why these artists?
This was another project that I was completing with my class mates. We were all working towards the same goal and ensuring that they had a similar outcome. When we were working towards the same goal, I was able to get the basis and build off of mistakes that I made myself, and I got some tips and tricks from some of my classmates.
3. Describe the evolution of your piece. Decisions made. Compositional elements.
Ensuring that the piece was accurate, I had to do a lot of erasing and restarting to ensure that some of the shapes were accurate. Making the decisions that were related to this took time, but in the end, I am rather happy with the outcome.
4. If you could consider doing something over, explain why you would do this and what you would do next time?
I would want to try and get some of the shapes to be a bit more accurate. Some of them were a bit off or not exactly curved enough and so the shapes weren't accurate. I would want to do this a bit better next time.
5. Elaborate on how this piece links with your other pieces? What is the common thread?
This doesn't really relate to my theme because I am doing symmetry, and a still-life image of onions isn't supposed to be symmetrical and because this was a group assignment, so it wasn't very accurate because it wasn't catered towards my main theme.
