This is my final project for this block. The objective was to take the two 'armies' from my previous paintings and show them going to war with one another. While I believe myself successful in this endeavor, this particular painting does not rank as one of my favorites. 

The objective with this painting was to combine everything we've learned in class over the past weeks to create an 'army' of shapes that represented two words. The words chosen for this painting were 'negotiation' and 'love'. Overall, I think it only did slightly better than the other painting I did for 'deify' and 'tension'.

The objective of this painting was to use grey scale to demonstrate atmospheric perspective against a black background. Of the four studies I painted, this one is my personal favorite as it meets with all expectations regarding the original objective, the overall painting feels a little neater than the others (less sloppy), and the pattern draws the eye right in before directing it to the outer edges once again.

The goal with this painting was to use grey scale to demonstrate atmospheric perspective against a white background. It may perhaps not be my best application of this technique, but the pattern is quite unique; one moment all seems to be chaos, the next you can see the interesting pattern used to create this painting. 

The objective was to apply atmospheric perspective to colored geometric shapes against a cool-color background. I rank this painting as being more successful than the painting below; while the shift from the original colors to those of lower contrast is still almost too gradual to notice, it is easier to see here than in the other painting. 

The goal was to apply atmospheric perspective to colored geometric shapes on a light colored background. I deem this painting mildly successful; I'm afraid I may have made the shift from the original colors to the paler ones a little too gradually. 

The Painting to the left in the middle makes use of overlapping and grey scale to create depth. All the rectangles are the same size. The Painting in the top left makes use of size/ grey scale to create depth. The Painting in the top right also makes use of size/ grey scale to create depth, although less gradually to use contrast to create more of a 3-D effect. The Painting to the right of the middle makes use only of overlapping and grey scale to create depth. The bottom Painting uses both size/ grey scale and overlapping to create depth, and the rectangles are arranged to form rounded shapes. Pinwheels or flowers? I leave the viewer to be the judge. ;)
