Oil Pastel Shapes

1. Describe your overall thoughts on the final piece.

I really like the way the oil pastels came out. The different colors blended nicely together and gave the shapes a real, three dimension look. The dark, black and blue background also brought out the brightness of the lighter colors.

3. How successful do you feel this piece is and why?

I feel quite successful, the darker colors contrasted with the vivid greens and oranges excellently.  The shapes seemed authentic, and with the shadows, looked like it came out of the paper.

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

The oil pastels mixed and created a blend that worked nicely.  One color would pull into another color as the blends would turn lighter and lighter.  The only thing I didnt like was that the black was really dark, and hard to work with.

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

I wouldnt make any changes, I like the way the it is already. :D

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

Blending the colors took time and patience, if you rushed, the colors would not blend correctly.  Also you had to be careful, or else the way the lines came together would look messy.

7. What did you learn from this piece?

To be patient, I messed up the colors more than once. XD
