Reflection Paper

Knowledge

The painting depicts the face of a woman drawn in bright, bold colors. The painting appears to have been drawn using acrylics, as shown by the thick and smooth texture of the paint after it dries. Around the woman’s face are contrasting and flowing patterns of flowers. The predominant color used is different shades of green, ranging from emerald to jungle green. Towards the edges of the painting, the dominant color is amber, which brings out the contrast with the face and flowery patterns in the middle of the painting.

Understanding

The concept of the page is to evaluate the painting in detail to establish the symbolism, background, and meaning of it through drawing from the inspiration of the artist. The purpose of the artwork is to communicate emotions through the series of contrasting elements provided.

Analysis

The artwork under study is used to draw elements of my book. On the first part, the book will cover the main theme. The second part will discuss the elements of design employed such as the texture, contrast, balance, dominance, and harmony. The third part will encompass the reflective inspiration drawn from it, such as the subtle messages communicated to the audience by the artist.

Evaluation

In my opinion, the artwork presented was an excellent project, which helped me draw inspiration from it. Aside from the creativity incorporated in the work, I believe that the artist behind the painting wished for people to draw inspiration from his completed work, just as they drew inspiration.

Synthesis and Application

I would be able to create my book differently if there was more information concerning the painting provided. Furthermore, I would be able to draw more information from different people, and this could be achieved through open discussions about the painting with fellow students. I would, therefore, take a more open-minded approach to evaluating the painting both in its physical and symbolic meaning.
