Caribbean Art (Paper mosaic)

         My Caribbean art project started off with a water color base and light brush strokes. I wanted to use the traditional bright colors that Caribbean culture integrates in their art, so I chose vibrant reds, oranges, as well as calm blues and greens. I used a combination of materials, so I think I could call this piece a mixed media type of collage; I used gouache paint, water color, and shredded paper to create this piece. I personally preferred my other ceramic painting piece because I like working with different medias, rather than just paper and paint. However, I thought that the paper and paint would be the most suitable for this project because I wanted to keep the media basic, but emphasize the strong colors. I enjoyed the color scheme of my project and I decided to keep the design simple because a mixed media piece can become messy if there is too much going on. Also, I was inspired by the Caribbean art paintings (shown at the top of the post), and used the traditional palm tree and sunset look, which captures the Caribbean setting.
