Project #3 - Carissa Chacon

For this project, I enjoyed destroying my painting and making something new out of it. Originally, I was going more for a flower look and it came out looking like an alien of some sort. Either way, I am satisfied with it. I really got out of my comfort zone and played around with the paper and just dove right into this project. In order to create this, first, I cut out the yellow circle and had this diamond shape in the middle. Within that space in the middle, I began to cut the edges to give it more of a ruffly look. Then for the outer part of the circle, I cut little triangles all around those edges, cut the triangles in half, taped them back together, and put them in their original spot. I did this to create texture and a 3D feel. As for the strands on the outside, I used all the white space that I could in my painting to create them. Lastly, I taped a little sheet of some of the Bristol board that had white space in the middle and used my centerpiece from my painting to be the centerpiece once again, only upside down. I think my whole focus for this project was more on the texture itself other than color theory. I suppose I could've used a lot more color, but for the most part, I'm happy with the way this project turned out for me.
