My vision
Amaja Hayes
Limited pallette painting
I created this art piece because i do better art with using paint and it was a challenge for me to only use three colors. My vision was to make hot and cold so one side was winter and the other side was summer. I feel like they know there is two different perspectives to my drawing based on the colors. I think i achieved at making the most colors out of only three colors. It relates to the color wheel because we made many colors using primary colors. The first thing i did when making this artwork that i made was the color mixing board with all the colors that can be made from blue white and red(which were the colors i used for this project. I don't think this art really reflects anything on my life. A technique that you can use is to know that even the littlest drop of a color can change the color that you are mixing or trying to make.
Linoleum cut
I created this flower because i wanted to do something based on agriculture which is really different for me. My hope while creating this was to successfully make a flower on linoleum cut which is a difficult. My art shows that i worked really hard with the little details of my flower. I achieved successfully with making a design correctly with linoleum cut. This current work doesn't relate to my previous art because i used the tree color palette painting and this was only one color and white lines. I don’t think my work is as creative as contemporary art. I first drew the flower in my art book then i copied it onto the linoleum. The tools i used to cutting tools to cut the lines out and ink onto the drawing to be able to get pressed onto paper. This art piece It doesn’t really express me in a way that it could. I don’t think my work could influence anyone. A technique i learned was to make sure when you are cutting your linoleum you should make the lines not very deep and make sure you always use the iron to make is softer and easier to cut.
My growth as an artist
I feel like i have grown tremendously in my art this year. Not only my ability to create art my ability to interpret art and why i think the artist made this art piece. I've realized that there is a meaning behind everything art related.
Reflection questions
- “What have you learned about making Art?” Theres is a difference between the littlest things and a little thing can change the whole project
- What kind of Art you want to make next or Art you are currently working on? I want to do something with spray paint
- What kind of Art or artist inspires you the most and why (MUST include a copyright free/Creative Commons licensed image and a citation for that image) Graffiti art inspires me more because the artist makes their art at their own risk.
Which project are you the most proud of?
I am most proud of the limited palette painting because i made a lot out of only three colors and it also teached me how to mix colors better.
Your biggest weakness or area in need of growth has been this year?
I think my biggest weakness was making my lines straight and being able to make my trees in the painting more notifiable.
Art reflection
“What have you learned about yourself through the projects you have created?” I learned that i base most of my creations off of pat memories like the house i drew and the flower
Your biggest weakness or area in need of growth has been this year?
I struggled with getting art ideas like what i should base my art off of or on. So instead of making basic drawings like flowers or houses i want to draw better and deeper things.
