Why I deserve an A for my color wheel

I think I deserve an A because I feel I met all the requirements. I put all 12 colors in the correct order. I made some of the feather frills not so straight and perfectly painted to add some real life effects. Even though I had troubles mixing my own colors, I kept trying and finally got the results I wanted. I feel my piece is very original.  I added peacock heads in the middle of the feathers to help people know they're peacock feathers.  I used class time wisely and didn't talk all the time and was constantly working.

Color wheel F.D. 9

I put texture on the birds and made their eyes white with black pupils. I also made their beaks orange. I really like how this piece has turned out. I think it is way better then anything I've painted before and I'm excited to see what else I can do through the course of the year.

Color wheel F.D. 8

I couldn't decide what to do with the tips of the feathers so I decided to use a grey to outline them and added the eyes and beak.

Color wheel F.D. 7

Finished with the color wheel part. Now to finish the peacocks and figure out what to do with the end of the feathers. I was thinking maybe the two colors used to make the one color, one on each half.

Color wheel F.D. 6

Redid the orange and I like it better then the last time. I liked how the blue green turned out.

Color wheel F.D. 5

Added lots of colors the past couple days. Thinking about redoing the orange because it looks more like rust then the orange I wanted.

Color wheel F.D 4

Finished the day with yellow avoiding the mixing of colors for now.

Color wheel F.D 3

Added green since its my favorite color. I liked how it turned out.

Color wheel F.D 2

Started painting today. I started with the blue line because I wanted to see how well it stood out against the black paper.

Color wheel F.D. 1

I decided to put my design on black paper and add peacock heads to make it more original. I'm excited to see how this will look.

Color wheel R.D. 2

Added a border on it but I don't think I'm gonna put it on the final. It takes away from the feathers themselves.

I thought a round of peacock feathers would make a pretty awesome color wheel.

Why I deserve an A

I took my time and made sure all of my lines didn't get wrinkled or overlap where they're not supposed to. I feel the proportion is very accurate.  I represented the line by using similar colors from the design. I used curvy lines, strait lines, dotted lines, dashed lines, and zig zaged lines. I made sure to use an exacto knife to cut all my edges and not tear any ends unless they were folded over the edge of the cupboard door.

Tape cupboard final

I didn't finish my whole design but I like what I have.

Tape cupboard day 9

Put even more triangles and curlys. Very time consuming.

Tape cupboard day 8

Added some red and white triangles. I figured if I layer the tape and cut the top layer, its super easy to make good triangles.

Tape cupboard day 6

Made some red curlys. It took me a while to get it right but I finally figured out a way to get then right.

Tape cupboard day 7

Added a zig zag and more and more curves. Wprking on the small details takes some time.

Tape cupboard day 5

Put it the dashed lines and started making more curved lines.

Tape cupboard day 4

It took a while but I got the triangles done finally.

Tape cupboard day 3

Laying down the pink for my triangles.

Tape cupboard day 2

Found out how dificult curvy lines are to make.

Tape cupboard day 1

Picked and cleaned my cupboard.
