My ideas for Sticky Situation began with thinking of various situations without a good ending one could get into. For example, having a pencil with no erasor during a test, stepping on a tack, animals stuck in honey- anything like that. Yes, I was able to think outside the immediate box. When you hear "sticky", most people think a fluid or something that is adhesive, but this project was trying to get you to focus on a more wide range of options. Or so I thought. Who knows. I put repetition and pattern in the picture by having a striped wallpaper in the background, stairs, and railings. Repeating, sort of. It was a little annoying to shade the railings. I kept messing up on them, and it'll still never be perfect, but I tried. Using tape to reinforce the lines was a good idea. I chose paint. Acrylic paint? Yeah, I'm just going to call it paint. I preferred using it as well because I could layer things without the previous layer being too visible- unlike watercolor. Haha. I layered a lot and the amount of paint caked onto my canvas is probably an inch wide. Bet you could crack it off and get a panel of just paint. (not really). Mini lessons? We had those? Well, my dad told me that holding the paintbrush near the bottom gave you the most control, but I already knew that. I don't really remember doing any mini lessons. This project was pretty interesting and fun to do.
