==I chose this artist/subject because, first of all, I really liked his work. I love summer, and most of his famous paintings involve water and swimming type things. I also picked him because I loved how realistic his work looked. It looked like it was a photograph.== ==I had a couple problems with this project. They were nothing too big though. One of the main problems I had was that when I was doing the tissue paper one, the modge podge kept making the tissue paper run. It was mixing all the colors together. I solved this problem by putting more layers over the ones it had leaked onto. The other problem I had was when I was doing the black and white painting, I couldn't get my pavement to be the right gray color. I struggled with painting the pavement for two days. I solved this problem by just painting white over the gray I had already put on it.== ==Overall, I am pretty happy with this project. I think it looks great considering the fact that I am sort of "artistically challenged". I am especially happy with my clay tile. I liked that we got to work with a lot of different materials. The only thing I could say to critique this project is that it was a lot of doing the same thing over again. Even though we changed medium, we were still doing the same picture over and over again.==
