In class on the 23rd of February, we learned how to use the ink pens. We also learned how to add the watercolor pencils for color to present our mural ideas. We also finished our cards that we got from the other 2D class. It was also very helpful to work on our mural ideas in class because i expanded a lot on my ideas and created better mural concepts.

This idea had the concept of "reaching for your dreams" where the painting on the wall is of a knocked out wall and a dream world or something inspirational is painted on the inside.

This idea has the concept of exploring your own mind and posting it on a public area. The black part is made of a chalkboard type spray/paint and attached on the sides are big pieces of chalk tied to a string.

Mural idea:

A couple of very largely painted, flowers that seem to be 3 dimensional and a continued garden down on the bottom. The real flowers are then incorporated onto the wall, making it unclear which ones are painted and which are real.

Today we learned the process of printing our amalgamation and changing the resolution and size of our projects. We also went over mural proposals and how to document our work. We handed in our sketchbooks and we are coming up with about 5 ideas for a mural.

Yesterday's class had a lot going on. We learned about amalgamation which is our next project and then we went into a critique on our last project. This critique was very helpful and seeing everyone's work ad their opinions about covering helped expand mine.

This could also be done by using all products with the starbucks logo on it.

Another possible amalgamation would be to combine all the faces of the female artist with the best song of the month. For example, taylor swift's love story could be number 1 in October, but in November, Kesha's song Tik Tok takes over that position.

1. My top image right now would be the pose of a model. This expresses how people are so obsessed with image and looking like that model.

2. I also really like the combination of all celebrity yearbook pictures; the blurry image expresses how they came from a past and how they were just another face in the crowd and became famous.

3. The image of the family christmas card is also symbolic of how people want others to view their family over the holiday.

4. The flags of the world is also an option because no matter what they have on them, they are all unified with the same square shape.

5. Also, the pose for glamour shots could be powerful.
