Brandt

I'm a little more than 1/2-way done. The first step was to create a list of subjects that represented each aspect of the course. Then, I added a particular relief technique that I have been working with. I'm finding myself taking a leap of faith by thinking that if I stick to the creative process, then the product will be successful. Right now it feels like a giant leap. Next up is giving the black and whites another coat, changing the color at the bottom and finish writing in pen. The writing is my museum response.
I think it needs a dandelion.
Materials use so far include pencil, pen, acrylic and Behr© textured paint all on an 18" x 24" piece of masonite.

What an array of textures. I really like the pattern in the chair it speaks to me. You have strong contrast going on between the chair and the background.

The figure ground reversal is great. I agree with Roxanne that the pattern of images on the chair strong with a variety of textures.

I can't be sure from the photo, but did you use plaster for the texture? It looks GREAT!

Renata,
Sort of... it is a smooth texture paint made by Behr that I use for creating relief. I also use it on 5" x 7" panels for the students to carve out of instead of clay for a bas relief project. It is commonly used for ceilings and wall texture.
