In mixed media theres really no planning you just add layers upon layers but then also make everything flow together. I haven't ever done a true mixed media with layering newspapers and not having a concept. I did a piece similar to this in Art 1 but it had a theme, this didn't have a theme so I was a little lost. I didn't really like the project mainly because you don't have any planning or have a theme or have anything to go off of, I've never worked on a piece like this so it wasn't my favorite. Luckily I got some help and Ms. Rossi saved my piece, she helped me figure out how to place things and how to make things blend and overlap but still make everything look smooth and make it look like it was meant to be pieced there. I'm still working on adding some more things but I don't have a plan for how much more I'm going to add. A lot was gained from this project because I didn't know what to do when I first started it but I learned how to place things properly and how to cover some things but also keep it seen. I like the way it turned out I had help which helped me a lot and guided me on what to do further. If I were to do this again, well I wouldn't, but if I were forced to I wouldn't go into with a theme which is what I was going to try to do but didn't end up working. So I wouldn't have a theme in mind and I would just pick a color scheme with contrasting colors to make some areas pop. Overall I really didn't like this project but I think it depends on the person and it was a fun thing to learn.
