Cristian Maldonado Art 2^nd Period

For my final project in my art class I will be using my piñata, mosaic and monochromatic painting. These are the three projects that I have chosen since I really do like them. I enjoyed working on them because of the techniques we used to create them. They were very interesting to do, especially since they were new ways of looking at art to me. They made me use more creativity than what I would normally use on any other project. They were some amazing projects to do in art.

My piñata is a very balloon covered with Papier-mâché and shaped into Boo from Mario bros. The Papier-mâché is paper dipped into glue with water. After it dries out the paper hardens, and it takes the form of the balloon. The monochromatic painting was made using only one color with different shades and tints. We were supposed use a color we liked and change the shade and tint to match a picture we used. For the mosaic we just had to tear pieces of paper and put them into a certain area to make a picture.

The projects are the same in many ways including color usage. They are also the same in the effort we put into completing the projects. All the effort put in it is quite similar since it shows how hard a person worked on it. They are very similar in showing how creative a person can be with different practices of art.

With the similarities the projects also have differences. They all use different techniques to make something very amazing and interesting. The plans that were used makes the projects different, as in a piñata, a monochromatic painting and a mosaic were made. They all have a certain style to them, a piñata has a few values while the mosaic is a technique for art and so is the painting. They all derived from different people which give them their own personal differences.

To my conclusion these three projects were the best I could have made. They gave me new techniques to make art and to look at what is art. They showed me that I can as creative as I want without any judgments. It has made me think that there are many different ways to create art using different styles or combining a few. Well art was really fun and it was nice having some awesome projects done.
