This art project that we recently did is called the spooky trees project. The goal of this project was to draw and paint a few layers of trees and paint them with contrasting colors to give them an eerie vibe. One new skill that I learned and worked on to improve was how to use contrasting colors to really make the colors stand out. The contrasting colors that I decided to use were yellow and purple. Color was one of the art elements that I really emphasized because I colored the trees purple which contrasted with the yellow background. Also the shape of the trees was another key art element to make the trees look good, and I decided to give the trees more of a cartoon look. Color helped create contrast with the yellow background contrasting with the varying shades of purple trees. The shape of the trees helped create proportion, as I tried my best to make the trees in the background smaller than the trees in the foreground. The spooky trees that I painted really give off an eerie vibe because of the interesting choice of colors and the shape of the trees.

The name of this project was the printing project and the goal of it was to trace a design on an eraser-like thing, lay paint on the design, then print the design on a piece of white paper to make a colorful print. One new skill that I learned during this project was how to create a texture on a print, which I did on the star in the middle. Shape was created in this print with the shape of the star and the diamond/box shape lines surrounding the print. Color was also very important when you were making the actual print, as I decided to go with a gold/green color combination. With the color where the two colors meet creates a contrast which really intrigues the viewer. The shape of the star helps create an emphasis that the star is the main part of the print. Overall, this print creates a positive mood as it reminds me of the holidays and spending time with family.
