The goal for this project was to observe something and recreate it using any medium of your choice, demonstrating your view of a subject. My favorite medium is photography, so I decided to observe the different smiles that people wear every day. I took 80 individual pictures of smiles, volunteers from the AHS marching band and made them into one big rectangle. I used gel medium to transfer the photos onto a canvas and later used warm water and a sponge to scrub the paper off (which took a long time). My result was 80 different and unique 1.75" x 2" photos of smiles on my canvas. I had never used this technique before, so you could say I took a risk. I had also thought of another idea to take all the photos and make them into one big smile, but unfortunately I wasn't able to change the shade/color of the pictures; however, I think my project turned out well.
