I also haven't posted the results of my Emulation project:
The next one is sort of a practice piece I worked on these last couple of days. I couldn't find the original painting, so I wanted to try making a color version:
I decided to post the two projects together, because my color and light project was almost like part 1 of my final project. Color and Light Final Project
This project is a birdhouse made out of different copies of The Beak of the Finch by Jonathan Weiner. The Class of 2013 was asked to read this book over the summer before coming in as a freshman, and I personally believe that it was one of the most useless things as I ever had to do (hence the idea of "turning something useless into something useful").
I decided to take the whole idea of "What is Art?" to a different dimension. I chose to use watercolor as a way to put across the idea that art is something where emotion and expressions of feelings can be seen. I decided to use the whole idea about being able to tell a person's emotions just by looking at their eyes. The first one that I made was the sad one (blue eye with black tears), next was the calm/peaceful one (brown eye), and then the angry eye (brown/green eye with eyebrow).
