Brainstorming Ideas
Compositional Sketches & ReferencesIn ProgressFinal CollageSelf Reflection Questions1. I chose to replicate Mt. Kilimanjaro because I thought it would be easier to make than a statue or monument. I think the more interesting parts of the composition include the 3D effect of the mountain being far in the background as well as the patterns of snow covering it.
2. I don't think my values are very accurate. It is difficult to find precise colors in the magazines that also had the right textures for a mountain. I think the values are most accurate in the sky, and even then it does not transition well. I think the proportions of the trees, mountain and sky are accurate and I don't have an issue with how they scale up to each other. 3. For the mountain's textures, I tried to look for photos containing mountains, canyons, and rocky areas. Although they were different colors, I didn't find any part of the mountain itself to be unusual bright compared to the rest of it. For the sky, I found photos of places at dawn and dusk, as well as colors of what the sky looks like during those times. For the trees, I cut out pictures of forested areas. The bottom part of the mountain is more blue in color, so for that I used pieces of pictures of water and dark skies. I think the textures make certain parts more distinguishable from others, even if they are not accurate to the reference photo. 4. I decided it would be best to cut out boxes and strips from magazines. I would then cut these pieces down further to make them fit easier. I had a hard time finding the right colors, so I went with what I could find that still fit with the theme or aesthetic of the picture. 5. I think I used all of the values I could find that were accurate to the photo. I think I should've done a better job of looking through the magazines before buying them, as other could have had better pictures. I don't think I was successful in giving the picture depth or a 3D effect. 6. The picture is not very neat in my opinion. Because I struggled with finding good photos, I had to use lighter or darker shades of certain colors that stand out too much. I also struggled with the clouds and snow in on the mountain. I don't think they turned out as good as they could have, mostly because I cut them in the same way I cut the other pieces. 7. If I were to redo this project, I would buy more magazines to look through. I would also think about how the cut the pieces more neatly and what objects or landscapes can replicate certain textures.
