I was not completely convinced on my initial idea for my senior project. I began thinking what else I enjoyed to do and at the same time, was good at. Looking back at projects from my color theory class, I came across a challenging project - an A4 painting using the pointillism technique. My painting was that of Picasso's, and the assignment was to recreate it using pointillism. Even though this project was hard and time consuming, I loved working on it. For my senior project, I want to make an A3 pointillism painting. I want this painting to be a self portrait. I will photograph myself and create my painting based on that picture.
There are several reasons why I chose pointillism as my senior project idea. The first and probably the most important reason is because I enjoy doing it. Pointillism to me, is about perfection and creating all the right colors in the right spots to make it seem as if there are no dots from a distance. The piece should look as if it is simply painted and this is the challenge I like about pointillism and why I want to do it. Another reason is because I have always wanted to make a self portrait and I never got to it. Making a self portrait out of pointillism will be creative and different.
