So we had to create ten pieces in a week based around a word that we were given. My word was "Stretch". I went pretty abstract for this project and enjoyed doing it. I learned that there are many different ways to look at something. Many different interpretations. This project made me learn how to see things differently and not to always think only in my first thoughts and expand past my first ideas and let my mind see other possibilities. My time management was better than my norm, however; it still wasn't all that great. I did not wait to do them all the night before but I did leave about three for the night before. The fetus painting was I think my second favorite. It is made up of paint and plastic wrap. My first favorite is the water color one. The reason is was my favorite was because it was taking the word but using a subconscious way of thinking to create it. I sat down and cleared my mind then said the word and the first textures, colors and shapes that popped into my head I painted. Then I ripped it all up and combined them. I used oil pastels, acrylic paint, plastic wrap, water color pencils and sketch and wash.
