For this part of my art piece, i began slowy laering thin coat of paint to make a thick and vibrant colour.
For the brown top, i used a paper towel to stain evenly, but unfortunately a certain part did not stain well. I thought that i had learned a lot from the mistakes on my board, but unfortunately it is impossible to fix.









for the board bottom, i painted it blue with 2 thick coats, i am very happy about the result and helped push toward the geometric idea of my board.

the colors that i useed were turquise copper gold white light blue red yellow and this golden yelllow
these wuld add to my art piece by allowing for movemeet to he pictureplane.
the spoungeing techqniqe onthe wooden board for many is a dangours and fightneing task a single missape woudl result in lost hours in sanding. being cautious was key.
tapeing the edges of the board is more easy that it was on the brown mural paer. this is because he fibers of the wood would nto rip pout. thechange in meiudum greatly attler how i applied the paint to the wood asit is less absorbent.
i alwso ried to appies
i feltthat my desgns changed from being organic to being more geometrical
also i felt that my colors arre more vibrant and with cleaner lines. i used shaeding to make the shapes sem realisitc and 3d. other improvements was that i decided to place the graidentd in a certian direction.

First Try.

In the design process of my board, i focused on how i applied the paint onto the brown mural paper. This was a different medium for me as i never used a sponge before. The tape was a unique tool to aid me to my goal, as the tape would allow the paint to have straight edged that could not be replicated by brush, but could easily tear the paint by ripping the acrylic off the fibers.

It was essentially a double-edged sword, but i gambled that with practice, i would be able to abuse this technique.
These are my first technique. I found that the purpose of this excecise was to imporve my sponging techniqe and see which designs best-suited my intent of my board.

I found that some tapes were half as sticky as others. these tapes were good tapes.
I also found that peeling the tape off before the paint has dried reduces the chance of it ripping.

Mistakes to be improved on was my messiness, this got my brown paper covered in paint.

YEE

I found that the tape had helped me create a more smooth, clean shape.
The geometric shape of rectangles, triangles and hexagons was very easy to do with the green masking tape. I found that my design changed from my original idea because i realized that organic shapes are hard to make with the tape, i also found that my sponging techniques became much better after some practice, as the shapes seem spray painted. I feel that the spacing that i put between my shaped allowed it to have lots of contrast. The focal point was where the shapes diverged. I feel that the color band running through my board gives my board a sense of unity.
The vibrancy of my colors were deliberately dulled to not make each individual design stand out. My only tools were the sponge, paint, pen, and most importantly, green tape. The shapes were very simplistic and helped me achieve my goal.
I USED negative space when i space the acrylic shapes of each of them apart.

Colours i used was

Blue+W+W+W+W= Glacier Blue
Yellow+Blue+yellow+neon yellow+white= Dulled Neon Green
Blue+blue+blue+red+yellow+red= This purplish color.
GOLDEN BRONZE+yellow= GOLD
Red+Red+ yellow = Bloody Grapefruit.

My Internet is bad.....

This was my first Sketch of the Pictures (smallest file)\


These thumbnail drawings are black and wite because i use tracing papr to help me choose a color i thought fit my theme. My medium was paper, and a pencil. i tryied to have unity in my masterpiece by having the focal poin in the middle.

Design 1#
I used tracing paper to decide the color scheme of my artwork
Though red was decided for da stripes

Considering whether organic shapes will meld with the geometric shapes.
