This week's "painting trees" project was very interesting. I really enjoyed it because it played on a lot of moves we really would not have noticed but were very obvious. I really enjoyed how all artist in the Disney video were all painting one tree, the same tree for all of them, yet the outcome of each individual drawing/ painting was so different and unique to their own touch.
It all began with each artist looking at the painting through their own individual lens. While one artist looked at it in an emotional way, another one looked at it spiritually, and another one looked at it very structurally as a scientist. They also all used different techniques to paint the actual picture. While one artist, painted the tree by using a knife brush to create the tree an other artist used charcoal and the other one used water paint. Another move that I focused on was how they each individually choose what to focus on drawing. While one artist focused on the tree trunk, the other artist focused on the branches, and the other artist focused on the surroundings, etc. At the end of it, this was an interesting project because the same exact tree looked so different in all of their paintings because they each painted it how they depicted it individually.
I also liked how we kind of worked on WP3 by listing out different genres for each age range. I literally looked at the instructions for WP3 and was already frustrated because I did not understand the project. Now that we have a whole list I am more at ease because I know I have a lot to choose from. I also liked how we spent a lot of time actually going over our WP3 because I know I had a lot of questions to be answered and they really were. Now I feel more at ease writing this project and I am sure I will do fine with it.
