Pros:
- easy to lay out parts of painting while in progress - was easy for people to stick their heads in and pose Cons: - background wasn't very accurate to the original - some colors were hard to replicate, like skin tone and sky. Process: Started with a green wash base, then worked on the figure and the background simultaneously. we then cut out a hole in the face area for people to stick their heads in, and added cardboard to the back of the canvas paper using hot glue along with cardboard as a stand so that the painting could stand up on its own.

I used acrylic paint, graphite pencils, glitter, and used splattering techniques on paper that I squished together to create the weird marbled effect on the rips of paper. I started with a bad acrylic painting of an ocean, with strips of paper colored to match the background for dimension with glitter added, but decided I didn't like where I was going with it. I then covered it with more paper, including the strips of the marbled paint paper. I decided it looked a bit empty, so I added two eyes, one eye of mine and one of my friend, to add an abstract factor to my piece.
The word I used was "bliss", and I portrayed it this way because I am in bliss when I am doing art. it brings me peace, and makes me happy. I chose to make something abstract that caught my eye to represent this. Once it was fired, I used colored glaze to paint the honey pot to add color.
Something I find successful about the finished piece is how bright and solid the coloring is. I also like my choice to remove the bee I had on the handle. Something I would change if I were to do it again would be to use more variation in colors. The yellows looked different before being fired, but I probably could have used some brown or golden brown on the handle.
