Description:
My piece consists of a facemask, and a headpiece. The face mask consists of construction paper flowers flued onto a blue face mask. The flowers are made of two layers: a red layer with five petals, and an orange layer with five petals. Which layer is on top is different for each flower. The flowers also have drops of hot glue dried on them, to look like raindrops. There are seven flowers glued at random onto the mask. The headpiece consists of a black headband that is worn around the forehead. There are drops of hot glue in the shape of rain drops tied to the headband with blue yarn, so that they dangle in front of the face. The raindrops are suspended at different heights. Interpretation: I believe that my piece creates a feeling of tranquility in the viewer. The piece is intended to act like raindrops falling on the flowers below. The bright colors help this scene seem more peaceful than frightening like a thunderstorm. Whenever it lightly rains, I often feel calm. I often feel calm in nature as well, and I hope seeing my piece will remind the viewer of times like these, and make them feel peaceful and tranquil. Analysis: I think my piece is pretty cohesive. The flowers are all consistent colors, and all the raindrops were made the same way regardless of whether they're on the flowers or hanging down from the headband. The only part of this piece that I feel is not visually cohesive, is the string that the raindrops are attached too. The string is thick and a dark blue that doesn't appear anywhere else in this piece. Additionally, the thick yarn makes the raindrops have a heavy visual weight, instead of being light and peaceful like I intended. If the strings were clear and thin, then the piece would probably be more cohesive and visually balanced. Judgement: I feel like my piece was successful. I think that everything I made was recognizable. The flowers look like flowers, and the water droplets look like water droplets, and the raindrops are all in the shape of raindrops. I think the strings may confuse some viewers, but overall if you look at the piece for long enough it's clear what each component is.
