Museum Plates

For this project we had to select 2 paintings done by any artist in the world and then combine them and use a style of art we had learnt in class. I choose 2 paintings of Pablo Picaso, because i find his art very interesting and abstract, i too tried to make my plate as abstract as his paintings and i think i did it quite well.

I really hate to paint. However i enjoyed this project because it was not simply painting we also had to design and draw our end result as well. Just before i finished my plate it started to look out to be very dirty and messy, however i kept painting.. partially because i had to. In the end when i had finished painting i thought that i would trace all my lines with a black marker to make it stand out and guess what? it turned out to look great!

I choose to use the abstract style in my work because it would really make my piece stand out and along with some color it would look great!

Road Signs


For the road sign design we had to choose from an option of many road signs and then had to make them come to life with two colours, black and yellow. I choose a land mine road sign. Since i didn't know what to do i looked up examples of land mine signs on the internet and found some good examples and decided to twist them around a bit.

I had to solve a few problems while working on this project, such as the colour positioning and ideas for the road sign. I got help ion the end by asking Mrs. Bammi and going on the Internet. I could have however done better with the overall end product, i found it rather scrapy and dirty.


I found this activity easy to do, but that is probably the reason why i did not do it well.
