Ceiling Tile
Day One ( 04-04-14 ) : Today we took our ceiling tiles down from the ceiling and cleaned them off . I also painted the background of mine .
* In this project , we are applying the color mixing we learned with our guided mixing charts and then with our texture paintings in our own style . We first made a brainstorming list of ideas to incorporate in our tiles . Such as a list of our favorite things and things that inspire us . Along with that , we sketched our design in a grid that would resemble our tiles . Once we got them down from the ceiling , we are free to take on the project as we wish within our guidelines .
In my tile , I wanted it to resemble me but also high school and the way I look at life in general . After seeing this picture , I knew I could incorporate high school and life with the words " never grow up " and then also in the Disney characters from Peter Pan surrounding it . I plan to make my background orange because it's my favorite color . And add gold glitter and use browns primarily for the rest of my detailing .
( Inspiration )
( 1 ) Initial color .
( 2 ) Silhouettes .
( 3 ) Color addition to bring light to the background .
( 4 ) Completion of silhouettes in a mix of raw umber and burnt sienna brown . Also the detailing sketch of the pixie dust lines and words " never grow up . "
( 5 ) I attempted to create the drip effect in the picture I used for my inspiration . I liquefied paint and was able to create the effect , but decided against following through with that idea . In order to remove and cover the lines from the water and paint , we painted the spots on my tile white . To go over them , we used a shade of red to add more depth to the background .
( 6 ) Opposed to the red , we created a new shade of pink and mixed it with my orange and original background colors to complete the background .
