Guido Art Project

Describe your overall thoughts on the final piece.

         I thought that this project was very fun. I however thought that finding an animal that Guido hadn't created yet was the hardest part of the project. I really liked adapting 3 different peacock designs into one artwork. I found it difficult to keep track of all the colors I used but other than that this project was a success.

How successful do you feel this piece is and why?

         I thought this project was a huge success because I could work on it at my own pace. It actually looked like a peacock when i was finished.

What worked about this project? What didn’t work?

        The references really helped because I wasn't just using stored images in my head. I had to take 3 different designs and combine them in a way that didn't look chaotic. My thumb however in the picture was bigger than a peacock's mouth so his head is a little disproportional to his face.

If you were to do this project over again, what changes would you consider making?

        I would consider changing the thumb position. As I mentioned before it just wasn't the right proportions.

What was the most difficult part about completing this piece and why?

       The most difficult part of this project was deciding what colors would compliment each other. I tried many different combinations before I found the right palette.

What did you learn from this piece?

       I learned that if you study your references it is easier to get your own idea. If you study the small details you won't copy the big idea of the piece.
