Final Project

     On this project I gave a lot of effort from my personal perspective. I worked very hard on this project and it was incredibly time consuming seeing as each black shape was made separately. On the personal side of the project, my ideas didn't stop as I left the classroom. I would think about my next goal between work times in order to fully achieve my goals for this project.
     If I had the opportunity to redo this piece there would be a few changes that I would like to make. My first change would be to make the orange filling and center body more blocked in a similar effect to the black outline. I believe that this would have tied the piece together rather than having them be so different.
     Through this project, I found that the shape-building technique is very relaxing. It definitely has a similar effect to doodling, which in my opinion is very stress-relieving.
     I truly did enjoy participating in this project. The subject of this piece is very symbolic of many people in my life. My mother has always depicted her passed mother through birds or butterflies and in memory of my grandmother, I felt like I should contribute something to her. That portion of this project made it enjoyable on more than one aspect.

Final Project


Weekly Goal (Last Week)

In the next two days I hope to complete my butterfly by finishing the orange filling and I'm going to try and layer it and make an auburn effect.

Weekly Reflection

This week I got a lot done. I completed the black outline and reflected it to complete the image and then I began filling in the orange. I'm not sure if I like the orange filling the way it is currently. It may change as I continue. I met my goal of completing the outline and progressing into the orange filling, even though the outline was more time consuming than I originally imagined.

Weekly Goal

This week I plan to finish my black outline along with my orange outline. By the end of today I'll probably have my outline finished and then by Wednesday I'll move onto the orange.

Weekly Goal

This week I hope to continue my outline work.

Weekly Reflection

This week I got a good portion of my outline completed. I did have some slight struggles with matching up the pieces at the conjoining points.
