Artist Solve Problems

For my project I chose the limitation of using one foot. My limitation was difficult because I didn't have a lot of control over how detailed the painting and where the paint really ended up. I started out by ripping the tape to make tree's. Then I put red paint on one toe and green on another and yellow on the third. Then I dabbed paint onto the canvas. After a couple of layers I added a few swipes of bright red, green, and yellow to try and make it pop. After the paint dried I pulled up the tape. In my painting I was trying to go for fall trees, I think it came out how I had planned, however I should have made the trees taller and take up more space.

Artist Steal

I think copying is ok in art, but you should still add your own ideas to the piece. Like using a different medium or changing the color scheme. For my project I took Barbie™ and the idea of themed Christmas trees and made a Christmas tree out of Barbie™ parts. The tree is made out of arms, legs, hands, and feet. After gluing them on a cone I painted them green and glued the shoes as ornaments. My tree topper is three Barbie™ heads (two are just faces I cut and glued to the main head).
