Art III -- Appropriation Halfway Point

1. Artists create original art.

-think creatively

-develop original ideas

I used my own idea of making a mom out of a mummy. I didn't use any sources for inspiration, I just made up what I thought would look good and drew it. As I made it, I kind of thought about Starry night, though. On my final, I used the lines on the mummy's apron.

2.  Artists develop art making skills.

- learn techniques and processes

- explore media

I have used pen and ink before, but I feel like I have done more with my skills than I've ever done before. I had never done so much with a pen before and I'm really happy with how it came out and where it is going.

4. Artists take risks.

- try new things

- experiment

To add some color to my project, I plan to use coffee or tea. I think it will help give it the aged look I want it to have. I'm going to test it out on some scrap paper before applying it to the final.
