It was helpful to have a second set of eyes look at my ideas, and it was helpful to have multiple prints of the photos to practice and adjust sizing.
I had new ideas about the mediums (cyanotypes, watercolor, pen), and new ideas about the way I want to arrange the photos. I also had ideas about different ways do change the order of the photos.
I will move on with the pen medium I decided on, and use the vertical arrangement of photos
What was your inspiration for the project? I was inspired by my family and Oscar Ukonu, a hyperrealistic artist who uses blue ballpoint pens.
What was the biggest challenge you encountered while working on the project? The biggest challenge was learning how to get the ink on the paper in a consistent, controlled fashion.
How does this project tie together previous exercises and concepts you have learned? This project really tested everything I’ve learned and practiced involving photo-reallistic art. I practiced patience and consistency throughout the entire piece.
What was your favorite part of this assignment? My favorite part of this assignment was being able to sit down for long periods of time and become fully absorbed in creating the piece. It was almost like a meditative process at some points.
