How does the assignment relate to the standard?
The assignment is related to the standard because I have to create a collage using materials like aluminum foil and magazines to create a landscape using a 2 point perspective. I also have to use mixtures of paint to create my colors for my buildings. The aluminum foil helps me create texture and the magazine helps me make my collage look abstract and I also overlapped buildings.
What are the steps you took to complete and do well on this assignment?
First, Ms. Kohl instructed my class and what we were expected have in our abstract collage to get a 4. She said we need: at least one abstract building, aluminum foil, magazine cut outs, and 3 or more buildings. After, we started on creating colors for our buildings and we made a sketch of our 2 point perspective landscape. Then, we added our colors and materials on our buildings to create texture. Finally, we used sponges as our finishing touches on our collage before it was graded.
This assignment demonstrates the following strengths...
This assignment demonstrates that I can create a collage using a 2-point perspective of buildings using a variety of materials like magazine photos and aluminum foil. It also demonstrates that I can be creative and create my collage as my own unique art piece & that I can meet the requirements of the assignment.
I could have improved on this assignment by... I could have improved by adding more variety of colors to make my building and landscape more tie dye colors. I also could have added more buildings to make it more like a city rather a street. I also could have focused more on my buildings rather than the sky & ground, so that I could have gotten a 4 instead of a 3.5.
How will you apply the skills you learned from this assignment in either the real world when you are an adult or in other classes while you are still a student?
I could later on have a art class in college or high school and I have to create a collage using a variety of media and colors. This will give a better prior knowledge of how to make a collage which would put me in a huge advantage from the rest of my peers. I also can use these skills when I am doing an activity as a teacher to students and I want to give them the advantage I had on how to create a collage using a 2 point perspective.
