<\/p>\nThis is an over dramatization of how I went from loathing my project, to becoming tolerable acquaintances with it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To recap from last week, I presented my project right after the vortex of fire\/water and was rather lackluster in comparison. Although art is in the eye of the beholder, I did compare myself to that project and wanted to improve from there. The professor suggested layering paper in some sort of way to create cool shadows. I scrapped my old idea and ripped out the lights from it super dramatically. This was my first failure.<\/p>\n

New and exciting plan: use watercolour to make cut out designs and layer them to create a cool effect. I was thinking water color to see if the light would go through it and make a more colorful shadow of some sort.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
So I made some mountains and some trees and try to experiment with layering them dimensionally. I think I am struggling to know what types of cut outs I should make and how to bring the content of the art to the next level. My creativity feels blank. Not good when taking an art class.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
So then I realized I had to incorporate light someone (duh, light art). I made a sort of canopy over the cutouts in the hopes it would make some cool shadows. I don’t really know why I thought putting light on top of the cut outs would make a shadow fall behind them, but at the time I did.<\/p>\n

Okay so as is apparent the shadows did not fall to my liking.\u00a0 So now i’m thinking make the light source hidden behind a frame in the front and light it that way. I think that will work, I was able to kind of pull it off at my house, but the frame part fell apart and I was not able to bring it in. I feel better about my project moving forward, I think I know what to do. Prepare for next week cause things are about to get next level.<\/p>\n
In summary, I failed at creating a good idea last week, but was able to work though a new idea based on ideas of other people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
