I designed this with magazine, gesso, newspaper, acrylic paint, and glaze. I used many different tools to create interesting designs and add texture. I only used green and red because it is a challenge to make them blend together as they are on opposite sides of the color wheel.

My mixed media piece consisted of oil pastel, newspaper, magazines and acrylic paint on a board. I incorporated repetition in my piece by including two copies of one figure on both ends of the board. I incorporated negative space to make it less busy but with still adding an interesting element. I tried to include many patterns to give off an energetic feeling.

I painted with thick oil paints for my medium. I spent the majority of my time creating skin tones that had depth and looked more alive. My first instinct was to block in the fade in with one flat tone , but I forced myself to work in all the flaws and shadows. The double portrait gave me a good challenge and taught me to capture every little detail.

For my figure project I first started with my background and developed it by layering black and blue giving it a fading effect. I used collage of magazines and acrylic paint for the background and figures. I tried making a dark background to make the figures pop out and put more focus on them. My collage is composed of many clock faces which contrasts with the missing faces on my figures. I decided to draw my figures jumping in mid air to give the feeling of motion and excitement. My reference was a picture of me and my friends jumping in mid air but I changed it by layering extra figures jumping and I changed everyone to have darker clothing so it doesn’t take away from the collage work. I did not give my figures faces because their were already so many faces of the clocks and I felt like it would become too much of a focal point. My goal of the composition was to integrate the figures and the college. A successful element of my painting I think was the figures having the feeling that they can begin to move at any second. Next time I think I would paint with oil paint because the acrylic looks sort of thin and it was hard to blend colors.
