For my theme, I think my project can fit into both "fantasy" and "amusement". It's a fantasy for me because I have always dreamt of traveling, especially to somewhere like Paris and seeing the Eiffel Tower. I think it could also fit into the category of amusement because traveling is a source of entertainment for me and its something I enjoy to do. I choose to represent Paris with the Eiffel Tower because that's one of the things it's widely known for. I was going to add a map print in the background to further represent the idea of travel but I unfortunately ran out of time to do this. For my project I start with a base of gesso to add a little bit of texture. Then I got the idea to add tissue paper down and to paint water down to make the color leak into the page. I used colors like pink, blue and purple to create a cool-like color scheme and I think it blended together really well. I then printed out a picture of the Eiffel Tower and cut it out and used gel medium to put it on my page. I then did the tissue paper color method again to make sure it blended in with the background and made sure their was no rough edges. In the end, I think this is my favorite project we have done this semester and I think my final turned out really well. If I was to change anything I would add more to the background and do it on a canvas instead of regular white paper.
