In the beginning this project was difficult. It was hard to make the colleges because I don’t really have a sense of imagination and i felt like putting puzzle pieces together from 5 different puzzles.  I was surprised i ended up with a gloomy mushroom but the exercise  reminded me that art is all about mood, perception, imagination and etc.

Painting  with gouache  for the first time was fun but very very time consuming.  I am really satisfied with my painting because i  rarely paint and when i got my  narrow range collage painting really close to the original collage  I was amazed by my patience and ability to actually paint.

I think this project was the shortest out of all the projects.  Although I really disliked making the collages, this project was interesting  because it introduced painting with gouache in grayscale.  Overall I have learned a lot about the importance of placement, movement, value and mood when working with this project.  I think i  still need to work out on my time  and updating the blog.
