learned a lot in art 1 such as different techniques and new forms of art. I learned a lot of new techniques for collage such as combining different types of “junk” papers can make an interesting background because as the supply on new. I also tried using textured paper to add depth to them. Mixed media was a big part of it too I learned you don’t have to just use one type of art you can combine them such as pen and watercolor, or paint and collage the possibilities are endless. The new technique I learned was the use of plaster which ended up being harder than I thought at first because of all the steps but by the end it was a lot easier (although I never want to smell Vaseline again) I started of with doing a face which is one of the easier things to do because it is easier to remove and went on to hands that were harder to remove because of all the different fingers and the wrist being smaller than the hand.I used my knowledge of mixed media to add the painting to some of the pieces and make them stand out more. Over the course of art 1 I learned many valuable new skills.
