My fourth art project is painted texture. A group of eight
of us went to a wine and canvas. I was not sure what to expect but I sure did
not expect to actually like my painting. The way the art instructor explained
it step by step made it possible for me to create a work of art that I was
proud to take home with me and actually hang it on my wall. I knew in my
painting that I wanted lilacs to represent both of my grandmothers who had
lilac bushes in their yard. Every time I smell lilacs I think of them and I
have no choice but to smile. I chose the orange tone in the background because I
think it is bold, bright and cheery. The blue flower with the white and purple
in it compliment the lilacs very nicely. Out of all of my art projects I think
this one means the most to me because I know my grandmothers are in this
painting. This project has taught me that when you look at the big picture sure
it seems impossible but when you break it down and work on each step
individually it is not that bad. I want to take this lesson into my classroom
and teach my students that just because something seems impossible does not necessarily
mean that it is. Take a portion that is manageable and work on it then move on
to the next portion and before you know it, you have finished it.
