I’ve been working on my midterm project for like two weeks maybe longer 

Before I started my midterm I threw on the wheel for two days but none of them worked out

Description: this cut paper project has a lot of color, the balloons are popping out at you, Realistic, has balloons, mountains, created with cut paper and foam, colored pencils
Analysis: this pieces has texture in the mountains which help add to the realism. It also has movement with the hot air balloons floating in the sky. Also there is also unity with the repetition of the hot air balloons in the sky.
Interpretation: in this piece I was inspired by a family friend artist. She painted a few paintings of hot air balloons and I saw them and decided to draw hot air balloons for my cut paper project. To create the 3-d look I made sure to color the hot air balloons as if they were 3-d and I added foam to the back of them to make them pop out.
Judgement: I loved the idea for this project and I’m mostly happy with how it turned out but I feel like I could of added more to it to make it look more realistic and have less empty negative space. I could have added some clouds or even more mountains.

These are the projects I have done so far this year

During this observation project I have learned a lot about how to add texture and more value into my artwork. It was a lot of fun to focus on a specific thing and try different techniques of drawing it. For my observation I focused mostly on using graphite and I I decided to paint one thing. The painting failed really bad but at least I tried something new and now know it’s something I really need to work on. I do like how eye and the horse muzzle turned out though and learned a lot from that on how to make things look more realistic by adding highlights and making sure to include specific details. I really enjoyed this project and I’m happy for the most part about what I drew.
