This was my multi media project. I used a dollar bill, ribbon, coins, glitter, tissue paper, paint, and wrapping paper. This was supposed to represent a Christmas theme, that could connect with the amusement motif that was assigned to us to use. This has many layers, but I regret not making the paint and gesso more see through so it would be easier to see the things underneath. I also expected the corners to be more green, but it ended up being more blue, which I'm not really happy with. I'm also not happy with the red paint, I think it's too pink. If I had more money, I would have done the Christmas tree entirely with dollar bills, but I'm happy with how the tree turned out. In general, I don't think this project was one of my best; probably because the strategy and medium is so new to me. I really like the idea of this type of work, and I'd definitely want to try it again outside of school where I would have more time and access to better materials.
This is one of the journals I used in planning. I used book pages, text, gum wrappers, coins, and graph paper. I like the way the colors fit together.a lot of it was basically what I could find in my backpack.
