I learned a lot about the different terms for value such as high key/low key and broad/narrow range. It was new vocabulary that is needed in this field. I wish I had more time to study the vocabulary and had more/better examples that we’d have to come up with, just for the sake of practicing it more.
I really liked the chance we had to digitalize our images. I tried to stay as true as I could to the original details and layout of the image but I looked for certain areas were I could blur the lines between the specific squares so I could create and even better flow and unity. I believed that the eye would automatically complete the lines mentally if I correctly lined up the different spaces.
Time spent: 1 hour
I chose to have the eyebrow as the focus of the piece because it had a very high light when compared to the rest of the image that is full of dark tones and black. I tried to unify the image by the texture of my hair that you see in multiple areas around the piece. The piece has a broad range because of the small high light/white moments, but the image is very low key because it is mostly composed of dark tones and black.
Time spent: 1 hour 30 mins
Working on this project was a bit of a challenge because I couldn’t find the right orientation for my squares. Due to this challenge, I learned that placement is very important to how the art flows. I feel that if I had the patience I could’ve done the painting a little bit better
narrow range
broad range
low key
high key
This project was truly challenging for me. I think that was mainly because I wad trying too hard to re-create the intracate details from my collages into paint form, which led to very obvious mistakes since I’m a novice with painting.
