“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.

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.

Archery (digital) by Isabella Banco

This piece was done over the course of a few weeks in class, with the advice and help from my teacher, and other students. By communicating with my peers and consistently re-evaluating, I learned how to use a digital art program and find the right lighting for this original piece. Other artists were very helpful with their critiques and advice on colors, proportion, lighting, logistics, etcetera. I ensured to take into account advice and was consistently learning in this new art form.
