Collage Paintings Final! Fall 2011

 ADOS=Attention Deficit Ooh, Shiny!
Time to Paint!

These are two paintings that I made in my Foundations Design I class for my final.  They were definitely my favorite projects, because I finally got to paint again!  We had a huge pile of shredded magazines and newspapers that we had to take a frame and stick it down on the pile without moving anything in the frame, and then tape it together and paint it.  We also had to find ourselves in this massive pile of chaos.  The things that I was looking for in the pile were smiles, anything referring to art, and anything bright and colorful.  I am an art major.  Enough said.  The hardest part of the top painting was finding that fluorescent pink color without having to buy fluorescent pink.  It took me between a half hour and an hour to actually figure out how to get that color, and I have no idea how I actually did it!  The hardest part of the second painting was just getting all of the details in.  This is a relatively small painting, but I had to fit so much in it, and so many different patterns with different shading and such.  Regardless of these difficulties, I still loved it!
