Art 1: What attracted me to this piece of art work is the same shapes and how they fit together with the different colors. My favorite element of this piece of artwork is the black and white because it brings out the different shades of darkness that is in the shapes. I did have a little struggle with the black and white element because of the right shade to blend with how dark or how light it is and comparing it to see if it was the right shade. This project opened my eye to other art work and how the shapes and colors make a different vision of it. And helps you think of what it would look like 3D, black with light shades, etc. Bright green and orange duck-tape put in a a line formation and then spray paint some neon colors in a dots. then splatter paint all over and on top of the duck-tape and spray paint.

The reason why I wanted to do this was because I wanted to stand out and that no matter what you do, your different from others. The colors that I used helped express me in a way. The brightness and darkness colors that are used in the mask mean that sometimes you have to let yourself out and be different and don't be afraid of who your are. The darkness paints means that there is times where you want to go into a dark hole and your in a depressing/stressed/bothered mood and things are really getting to you. The brightness around the darkness is to show that theres a light out of the tunnel and that theres many people that surround you in your life that are willing to help you through it all because they love you.

I had MANY problems! The colors I wanted to use, if I wanted splatters or lines, if I wanted a different type of texture to my mask project and how will it turn out in the end to make others see what I'm thinking/feeling. I did most of the problem solving and how to flex with what I wanted in my mask project. The questions that I still have in my mind is that am I happy with what I did? Will people like it? How will they respond to it? Is it a good or bad piece of work?

I'm not happy with what I did for this project, I felt that I was missing something and nothing has came together with how I wanted it to. I'm not happy how none of the things didn't connect to one another and it didn't give me that feeling that everyone will just like/love it. It looks like an unfinished piece that an artist has not finished or gave up on. After starting this project with duck-tape I realized I wanted a paint paint background. But I was very careless when I wanted to change it to a paint formation but I tried the best that I could of trying to finish it in a neatly/different piece of artwork.
