mixed media

For my mixed media project I developed my art making skills because I learned that making mix media art takes way more effort than just gluing down different peices of paper. You have to think about what designs you want and you have to take the time to layer and add the appropriate peices. For my art I decided to do a vintage theme so I thought about using the kind of old type of colors. I liked using the cream, greens, and brownish colors. I also used glitter, and I enjoyed using the stencil. I made the stencil out of cutting paper with a hole puncher. I feel like adding all of there items together made my peice a lot better. 

I took risks in my art because when It was my first time using gelato and at first I thought it didn't really make a difference I'm my art but once I started to put more on I realized a difference. I found out that it makes the paper thicker and gives it more texture. I used it when I made the dots for my stencil. I found it so helpful and much needed for my mixed media. I also took risks because I had no idea what I was doing when I started because this is the first time I've worked with this and I had no ideas I my head in the beginning, but now that I've finished I think that it turned out well.

For my art I solved problems because in the beginning when I first started to make mixed media work it was a hot mess and throughout the process I started to understand the concept of it all. so I started putting the right peices together. After I messed up so many times I realized that just putting paper together won't make it look good so I started layering magazines and tissue paper and then it turned out okay.
