Project Framing and Resolution

• Title & Question:
• Name your project. 
• Colour My World
• Question driving your project – has it evolved over the semester? 
• "Can I portray contrasting emotions, with a single image recoloured in rainbow hues to create a set of 3 diptychs." 

• Aims, Objectives & Context:
• What do you want to find out? What do you want to discover? What did you want to create? 
• What is colour theory, how to use colour theory correctly, a realistic background image.

• What skills, techniques, methodologies did you want to utilise? 
• photography, drawing, colour grading, compositing

• Does your project fit within a larger plan/project? Describe where it fits. Does your project serve to push your development as a practitioner? Describe how this is important to your professional development. 
• This project was designed with some feedback from last year in regards to researching colour and colour theory to improve my work. This project served as practice in using contrast and tones for my art. Colouring my art correctly is something I struggle with and so it is the focus of what I want to improve so I can work in the professional industry successfully.

• Conclusion/Findings:
• What was the outcome of your project? Consider both the final product and how successfully you’ve resolved your question. Consider what you’ve learnt through this project. 
• I achieved the 3 diptychs however they morphed into mostly composite as opposed to the matte painting I initially proposed. Each image does give off a different feel to the landscape however I am not certain that it is moods that they portray as such. 

This is where your blogs are critically important. If you’ve been using your blog as a repository for your thoughts, progress, inspiration and research through the semester, then documenting your body of work will be a matter of sifting through your blog and pulling together the threads that make up your project. Eliminate extraneous leads and false starts – unless there is something there that you’ve used to push your project forward.
