During the investigation for my project, I quite enjoyed researching about Frida Khalo, an I found her works and painting style really interesting. I feel that I managed to incorporate some of her styles into the "dark" side of my own painting, and found the research I did quite helpful for getting ideas and inspiration, and therefore feel satisfied with the successfulness of the investigation.
In relation to the drawing I created for the design of my painting, I was quite happy with the way it turned out. I really like the grid method, as it gives a good base to work with. I think I chose a good picture of myself to look at, and I also feel that I managed to represent myself and my personality quite well in the symbolism.
I found the painting part a bit challenging, as I have not worked much with this before apart from the unit we had about it last year, so overall I felt it went quite well. I tried to apply what we had learned about light to dark, warm to cold, big to small and thin to thick, and feel that I managed this quite well, seeing as this is something I haven't had much experience with. I found the toning of the skin especially difficult, but looking at how it turned out, I am quite pleased with the result. Although it doesn't fully look like me, I think you can see the resemblance. I also think that the division between the two halves turned out well, and gave a nice effect to the painting.
When it comes to effort and engagement, I personally think that I have worked well during this unit, and used the time effectively, and also worked on the drawing well at home. However, I would have struggled if we hadn't got an extension of the due date, and this is something I will have to keep in mind during later projects.
