Explorations Project<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During May, the Freestyle Seniors presented their Zenith projects which were basically capstone projects for the year and they spent several months on them. As we watched them, we the juniors had to keep in mind our own ideas for a mini version of this for our Explorations project which for each elective can be whatever we want as long as it is related to our media i.e. design, film, animation. For Design, because it is described as almost anything, we had the most freedom, for me I chose to use India Ink to paint an Asian landscape artwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I first watched videos on professionals painting their landscapes and I also viewed other paintings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I then tried many times painting around 7 or 8 complete landscapes not including the mess ups or test runs. I mostly learned through trial and error on who to create different paint strokes with dry brushing, dark lines, fade into fog, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I didn’t like how any of them turned out as I found them to hold too many mistakes and not represent my full artistic abilities. However, I did enjoy this project as I have always wanted to try this medium and am glad I had the opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is what I deemed my final piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
