This is their adopted dog Ludo. This took a long time to do - I realize now just how small I made the pieces.

I learned how to understand abstraction a bit better. To be honest, while I was doing this piece, I did not think I was doing the original image justice and thought I was muddying the details too much. Even when I finished, it seemed like it wasn't good. It was only a few days later that I looked at it both from emotional and physical distance to see it more for what it is rather than my zoomed-in perspective. 

I am most pleased with the colors. The dog is a black dog in real life, but I wanted to avoid using black in the piece. Instead, I went with the blues and browns of the reflected light. I think what I wanted to do was achieved well. I also like the abstraction of the eyes.]]> 2022-03-13 09:28:12 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/7kr50ckhdnqowk4d/wish/2092168351 Progress 1 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/7kr50ckhdnqowk4d/wish/2092168451 2022-03-13 09:28:25 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/7kr50ckhdnqowk4d/wish/2092168451 Progress 2 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/7kr50ckhdnqowk4d/wish/2092168543 2022-03-13 09:28:38 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/7kr50ckhdnqowk4d/wish/2092168543 Progress 3 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/7kr50ckhdnqowk4d/wish/2092168781 I wound up taking a few colors off and replacing them at the end!]]> 2022-03-13 09:29:02 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/7kr50ckhdnqowk4d/wish/2092168781 Finished Color Swatches https://padlet.com/michellegregor/7kr50ckhdnqowk4d/wish/2092207668 2022-03-13 10:31:00 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/7kr50ckhdnqowk4d/wish/2092207668 Progress 1 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/7kr50ckhdnqowk4d/wish/2092208545 2022-03-13 10:32:28 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/7kr50ckhdnqowk4d/wish/2092208545 Progress 2 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/7kr50ckhdnqowk4d/wish/2092209980 This was probably the hardest part of it all since the pieces were small and precise.

https://padlet.com/michellegregor/7kr50ckhdnqowk4d/wish/2101730960 this was harder than i expected. i probably should’ve chose an easier subject]]> 2022-03-18 11:08:21 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/7kr50ckhdnqowk4d/wish/2101730960 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/7kr50ckhdnqowk4d/wish/2108980745 I chose the lemon because for me it is amazing that these things just grow in people's yards and then get tossed in the street as yard waste! I love going on walks and seeing all of the citrus trees happily soaking up the sun. 
I learned that you have to clean your hands every five minutes or less to not get into a sticky situation. Next time I would change the type of glue I used. Maybe a very thin glue I can use with a brush instead of a glue stick.
The leaves are my favorite part of the project. I was happy that all of the shades turned out so nice and it created a lot of dimension. ]]> 2022-03-23 04:56:01 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/7kr50ckhdnqowk4d/wish/2108980745 Reflection https://padlet.com/michellegregor/7kr50ckhdnqowk4d/wish/2112949571 1. Why did you choose that particular image?
I choose this image because of my love of axolotls. I think there really cool and nice to look at. This image in particular had a lot of colors to pick from and had a nice dark background to contrast it. There were other axolotls to choose from but I like this color the best. 
2. What did you learn and what might you change if you were to redo this project?
Doing this project let me notice color more closely and find even the smallest details. It also reminded me how hard doing a mosaic is. If I were to redo this project I would change and some colors in certain areas to make it look better.
3. Which parts are the most pleasing or successful?
The most successful parts were the small areas that had big color changes, like the gill parts of the axolotl or it's fingers. The most pleasing parts to do for me would be the background and the face area as I feel like they looked the best.]]> 2022-03-25 01:38:24 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/7kr50ckhdnqowk4d/wish/2112949571 Answers to three questions… https://padlet.com/michellegregor/7kr50ckhdnqowk4d/wish/2113209370 1) I selected the image of a bird, as observing birds was something I learned to appreciate during the long hours and days of Shelter in Place. As a single person, they were good company. 

2) what I learned and what I’d change: I learned a lot about shading and shadows. Looking at the colors against a gray scale and determining how to best represent them was very instructional. I also learned the value of stepping back and viewing the piece from a distance. I do this with my sculpture work, but I didn’t realize how important it was when working with such small pieces. I’d change the gradation of the background to include a greater range of light to dark. It was too monochromatic. 

3) I like the emotion in the piece that was achieved through using very small pieces in the face and eyes. This allowed for more subtlety. The detail helped give the face more depth. ]]> 2022-03-25 04:59:48 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/7kr50ckhdnqowk4d/wish/2113209370 Questions https://padlet.com/michellegregor/7kr50ckhdnqowk4d/wish/2116268230 1) I chose this particular image because the colors really stood out to me, plus I love light colors so I thought it would be pretty. 
2) I learned doing the mosaic was a lot more time consuming than I thought. I also focused too much on the color palette at first and that kind of slowed me down. 
3) The most pleasing parts was the top portion of the background it’s super light and the pieces were small which made it look nicer. As well as the shadow part of the bird.]]> 2022-03-28 03:10:09 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/7kr50ckhdnqowk4d/wish/2116268230 Questions mirandaialvarez12 https://padlet.com/michellegregor/7kr50ckhdnqowk4d/wish/2124470837 Why did you choose that particular image? The reason I choose my cat was because he’s my baby lol. We have a strong bond, he literally follows me everywhere and he even sleeps with me. Just look at him, you can’t get mad at that. 



What did you learn and what might you change if you were to redo this project? I got to learn to mix and create different colors to match my cat. And I will honestly would fix on how I put the pieces of paper on top of my cat’s head, it looks like he is mad. And I will probably add little bit of brown paper to face. 



Which parts are the most pleasing or
successfull? I really like how the way the  body came out , and the background looks great. Has a great time doing this project.

I figured it would serve as a perfect mosaic, and I had some hard-hitting nostalgia about them not too long before we were given the assignment. If I were to re-do the project, I'd give myself more time to produce the many values that are present in the original reference photo. I'd also cut the pieces of paper into a variety of shapes so that they're not all as uniform, this would make the mosaic a truer one. The most successful detail to me is the dark reddish-brown color along the top and bottom left corner. After I held the swatch to the photo, I was thoroughly impressed with how close it was.]]> 2022-05-28 06:16:15 UTC https://padlet.com/michellegregor/7kr50ckhdnqowk4d/wish/2202766866
