1. Describe the craftsmanship of your drawing. My drawing was one of the first big drawings I did in prismas. I think my blending of the apples and label is well executed. I think the table since it is glass could have looked smoother but it was very hard to get the reflective look. 2. Describe how your background choices help unify the three artworks and tie them together as one piece of art. The background of the table and chair help create a scene for the apples in the bag. They provide a subtle brown tones that help the bag stand out. I also like the way the chair is only partially visible and off the the side. This makes good composition and adds interest. 3. Describe your choice of colors/color harmonies and how you used them throughout the artwork. For the apples I chose to make them red for the mid tones and yellow and white for highlights as well as purple to create darks and shadows. I think these colors complimented each other and made the apple look more realistic. By adding purple the apples were more vibrant and dynamic while adding yellow enhanced the brightness and shininess of the apples. 4. How did you create contrast in your drawing? I used many colors to create contrast in my drawing. In particular using purple and yellow, which are opposites on the color wheel, in the same apple. This allowed for the apples to stand out and it also created light and dark. 5. How did you use textures, highlights, and shadows to enhance your artwork? On the apples I used red, yellow and purple and blended them to create the smooth texture and varying patterns on the apple. I also used highlights of different intensities of white to create the illusion of a plastic bag. I used purple and red and black to create a reflective shadow against the table glass. 6. Why did you choose a particular background color to mount your artwork? I chose brown to allow for the apples to stand out. I also had a relatively brown background in the table and chairs so I think that helped. The brown allowed for vibrant colors to pop and blend properly. 7. Discuss the importance of understanding the media and acquiring the skills necessary to create a successful project. I am new to prismas but I know technique is important to being successful. I learned how to properly add layers of color and be patient to get the effect you want. I also realized how well they capture details! 8. Describe the difficulties you had creating your drawing and what you could do to improve your drawing? Well I would definitely say the background was difficult. After I put so much time into the bag of apples it was hard to be patient with the reflecting table and the wood marks. If I could change anything I would make the wood grain more detailed. This is my progress with the apples.
