In this piece, I had to use a found object to make art. I used dried acrylic paint from the inside of a cup to create a coral reef, and I used a Sharpie marker to draw a seahorse living in the reef. I solved problems by using a found object in an unconventional and original way to create a new piece.
"Coffee Girl" In this piece, the problem I had to solve was incorporating newspaper into my artwork. I started by making flowers that I thought looked interesting, and then I decided to make a girl to go with the flowers. After I drew the girl and water colored the background, I made the decision to add more color by painting her hair with coffee. Then I glued the flowers to her hair and made her lips out of newspaper.
This painting is the second part of my series where the limitation was not touching the paintbrush to the paper. For this one, I gave the tree an interesting texture by coloring in the tree with a marker and changing the directions of the marker often. I solved problems in this piece by splattering watercolor on my paper, outlining the tree with tape.
