Independent Project

For this assignment, we were asked to create a project of our choice that was related to a project we had done previously in class. I decided to make a collage and then paint it because it was my favorite project of the year so far. I cut out a bunch of small plants, the Earth, and a cow from magazines. I then made a collage with the pieces. I used tracing paper and transfer paper on canvas to put down the general shape of my collage. I then painted all the components of my piece with acrylic paint that I mixed. I went back after with an eraser to get rid of all pencil marks. Lastly, I used white paint around the entire painting to clean up. If I could go back and revise anything, I would spend more time and effort on the Earth and the cow. Overall, I am very happy with my final project of this year.
