How did you use your own unique ideas in your work?
I went to a duke volleyball camp over the summer and the duke camp was truly beautiful! I took so many pictures of the campus because it was really a work of art! I took this picture of the yard outside of the dorm I was staying at through the window they had in the stairwell. They window looked like it came straight out of a movie it was so cool! It was brick and round and antique! And of course the yard was beautiful too with a big tree and bushes and a lamp! I had to base my painting off of Faith Ringolds style but I made it original buy using my own photo and my own choice of colors! I loved going to the Duke camp because I got to experience so many beautiful building and pieces of art as well as playing volleyball so I was so excited to paint my original picture with my original painting strategies.

Did you learn new techniques or processes as part of the work for this project?
I did learn new techniques thought this processes, I have never actually painted before. The first thing I learned was how to do a wash. I have never ever before heard of a wash and so when I heard I had to do it to make the colors richer and brighter and all of that, I was very surprised. But I'm very glad I did the wash with out the colors wouldn't have been the same. Then I learned how to mix paints to make the colors that I want and how to make them lighter and darker to make contrast in my painting. I also learned how to do brush strokes and also how to clean my brushes! I was also taught about the different types of brushes and what they are used for and how to use them. This project had taught me so much and helped me grow as a better artist and painter.
Did you ask another student for feedback during your work
Like always, I asked Mia and Devin for their expertise opinion and they do their very best to help me and give me their advice. They helped me with some of my color choices. They also helped me with choosing the picture I was going to do. I had a big list of pictures to chose from and I was stressing over them all and they helped me pick the one I did. They said it was really cool how the picture was looking outside of a window and they liked the scenery in the background. They help me a lot with all of my art work and when I'm feeling like I don't like my work or something is wrong they tell me that it looks good and how to help it look better. They are great artist and I really value their opinions and take what they say very seriously and it overall helps my artwork look better!
