“Hands of Flame” by Isabella Banco

This composition demonstrates exploring and creating, as I’ve applied many new, researched techniques with unfamiliar mediums to execute this concept. Oil paints are unfamiliar, however I dedicated much of my semester to learning color application. None of my works were similar, but this especially stands out from the others because I remained within one side of the color wheel and worked dark to light with minimal layering to enhance brightness. Overall, this painting required much research and exploration.

I demonstrated the core competencies creative thinking, critical thinking, and communication in this project. The assignment was to create a story line of a mental disorder, which required creative thinking to turn the written content into images. I used critical thinking to research and put together all my information to fit the criteria and support the story I created. Communication helped me get clarification and work with peers to see how to expand my ideas and edit my work.

Creative Thinking

I demonstrated my understanding of creative thinking by designing and altering the skull based on existing designs, as well as creating the best method to make the skull pop. I decided that 3D tape would make the design come to life and have a dramatic result. To continue thinking creatively, I can use my own designs consistently and try new materials. To feel creatively inspired, I want to ensure I do projects I take interest in, and incorporate things I enjoy with projects I don’t share the same level of interest. I’ll ensure I use many resources to complete my projects and get new, unexpected ideas.

I displayed the core competencies communication, collaboration, and personal awareness and responsibility. In our research assignment, we organized into groups and had discussions about the best way to show our ideas, make compromises, and meet expectations. When we were confused or wanted to know if we were on the right track, my group and I would talk to our teacher and seek critiques. Together, we collaborated on ideas and encouraged each other to share thoughts and changes we had. I ensured I completed a fair share of my own work and helped the others around me.
