Process:
This piece had lots of “add-on”s; meaning the piece started one way and finished with a lot more than originally planned. For example, I started with the idea of having one giant tile, and then it turned into five smaller tiles. Then I painted them with acrylics and attached them to a board (luckily we had one the perfect size). I evenly spaced them out and then “stained” the board using watered down acrylics to match the border of the appropriate tile. All in all, I am glad it turned out how it did.
Successes
Overall, I am proud of this piece. I think it was successful that once attached, the tiles did not come off the board, and the fact that I created a stain (more or less).It was also successful to create realistic looking foods for the tiles to have. Another success could have been that I accurately measured the tiles and space between them. In general, there were more successes that “failures”. A last success could be my time efficiency; I tried to always add on to the piece to use my time wisely.
Changes
While generally successful, there are some things I would change about this piece. Next time I would get reference images to create a more realistic look to the foods. I would also spend more time applying the tiles to the board because I feel like I rushed that part and may pay for it later on. Next time I would also spend more time creating a better color palette, but overall I think it looks delicious.
