I interpreted this assignment to display all the skills we had learned throughout the year in 2D Design. With this project, I had hoped to show my understanding of emotion in the way color is used, the proper use of layout in design, and how deciding on the right font can make your piece come together. I feel as though this project pushed me not only as an artist, but as a designer, because it made me think outside the box of just the aesthetic aspects of the image, and made me consider the more technical side of design.

The way I interpreted this project was that the first painting we did would be a quick display of what we knew about painting, and the final painting would be a full, in-depth painting of everything we were taught throughout the semester. For this project I was hoping to achieve a better understanding of color theory, creating depth in paintings, and better proportions when it comes to the human form. After having completed this project, I feel so much more confident in painting portraits, and exploring colors. I have also discovered my love for painting again.
