AP Art Field Trip: Downtown Lafayette

Weekly Challenge #4: Activity for the Week

Banksy Reflection

This artwork really resonates with me because we use quotes in the world all the time, reflecting on the past all the time and, as long as you use some famous person`s name at the end, people pay way more attention to it.

I learned that Banksy is an anonymous artist that lives today and he became made his mark on the world by keeping himself a mystery while also addressing important issues.

Weekly Challenge #3: Photography Journey

My weekly art challenge was "Photography Journey", where you go on a walk and create a collage or split screen of what you see on the walk.

Weekly Art Challenge #2: 2D Design Principles

For this weekly challenge, I focused on the 2D Design principles of repetition, contrast, and movement.

I chose the colors I did because I started out with some strange shape that ended up looking like fish and then I turned the shape to connect them. Afterwards, they looked like they were circling each other, so I used that for the base of my colors, representing male and female fish. 

I chose orange to contrast the background because both of the other colors were darker, so I wanted to make the fish pop without making the third color super bright, so I chose a brighter orange, where the boldness would contrast with the fish without overpowering the fish.

Weekly Art Challenge #1

My weekly art challenge was black and white. I think this challenge went really well, yet this photo was unplanned; however, as I was taking pictures outside, this flower caught my eye and the picture turned out really well.

Summer Art Concentration Series

Progression of Time through Light

My theme is the progression of time through light. The reason I picked this theme was because I was working at a summer camp and the theme this year was, "Illuminate", so I was inspired to take the progression of light and really push it. Also, these pictures are from when I did two different sunrise hikes with 9-12 year old kids and it was so beautiful both times that I really wanted to showcase how wonderful the sunrise is.
