Blog Post #3

Artists Communicate Through Their Work

For these projects, we had to do one that showed emotion (color project) and one that showed our own personal style (style project). I decided to focus more on the style project. 

For the style project, I decided to focus on Salvador DalĂ­. He is a surrealist artist who was famous in the mid 20th century. The painting that I decided to focus on is his Spring Explosive painting. 
I feel that this painting shows struggle with the people running in the background and the flowers looking somewhat like bullet wounds and the dark clouds in the sky. I think that it also shows signs that happiness is nearby and that things will get better. 

For the color project, I took my inspiration from a painting that I found off of Pinterest. 
I feel that this painting represents happiness. I also love this painting because it resembles the ocean. 

The only issues I am having with these projects is coming up with ways on how to execute the techniques that we have learned into ways that it makes the final look good. I have started to experiment with watercolor and layering the blues and other colors to achieve a look that I am happy with. So far, it had not been working well for me.
