When trying to take pictures, I tried my best to make it match by color, but not texture. The reason why I wanted to do this is because I wanted the grid to be as aesthetically pleasing t o my eyes as much as I can. I took most of the pictures featured on the grid inside my house, including a blanket, an old teddy bear, and the tiles of my bathroom floor. I thought that these were a really good start because something about the color they all had, in my opinion, really matched well. The day after next, I walked around the campus of Wayne State University and the second floor of the Art Building to find more things that had some sort of relationship with the pictures I already had. So, when I gotten all of the pictures I needed, which were 20 (the bare minimum), I started to put the pictures on the grid in a way that, once again, I thought was pleasing to my eyes in one way or another. The only reason why some are different shapes and/or rotated in the way I did s only to manage to fit all 20 of the pictures on the grid.
For the second part of the project, I outlined the features of the bottom of a sign post, which I put into the center of the grid. I didn't chose the color red for any particular reason, I just used a bright color to outline the picture and rolled with it. With the shape I made, I had no idea what I was going to do with it. After about 35.6 seconds, I thought that I would make some type of sun shape and I thought I did a decent job on that. The second outline was the tile of my bathroom, which is on the far far right second from the top. Just like with choosing red, I only used that blue color to make sure I can see what I was outlining. Once again, I really didn't know what I was doing and just went with the flow.
I really did enjoy these two projects a lot and I would say this was my favorite art project I've had this entire school year.
