Section 1: Inquiry Question and Concept Exploration
Explanation of the guiding question or concept
Inquiry Statement: How can layering, color blending, and composition choices transform an everyday object into a compelling and realistic work of art?
Inquiry Writing:
Layering, color bending and composition choices transform an eveyday object into a realistic work of art, because to make something look real you have to really see the color formation layered, how each object overalps eachother to trick the human eye to think its real.
Section 2: Connections
Cultural, historical, and artistic influences with critical evaluation.

Additional Reference Images of Candy
For this project I took multiple pictures to have more options and different POVs, at the end I chose that one because it had the best quality, I really liked it but it was indeed a little challenging to color because of the various amount of colors.
Section 3: Investigate
Visual evidence of material tests, alternate compositions, sketches.
Primary Color Value Scale
Secondary Color Value Scale
Sphere Practice Sheet
Gummy Bear Practice
In these visual evidences, I started experimenting with the technique of using wax colors so my artwork could be successful. I learnt how to use lights and shadows, create hues, and many more abilities.

Section 6: Communicate and Reflect
Challenges, successes, and self-evaluation of how the artwork aligns with the inquiry question.
During this project, I struggled a lot with time management, because it was tough for me to organize my time on doing a lot of small details, but I ended up liking my project, even though I did a lot of effort, it was worth it. I learned a lot about how to use wax color pencils and the technique for their usage. I did this by layering colors and blending them, and I took inspiration from the composition of the project before this one. I really liked this project because, first, it was fun to take pictures and eat candy, but I really enjoyed the result because I didn't think I was going to be able to create such realistic art.
