Pop Art Project

In this project, we had to choose a 'subject', a cylindrical object that we could work with and we had to replicate it's image in different mediums such as drawing, shading, color pencil, and screen printing. This was rather fun thinking back on it. The drawing was really hard at first but after actually doing it, it was easier. It was especially hard to draw the font and the top of the Coca-Cola can. After that, for the rest of the mediums, we just used a light source below our paper to use the original drawing to draw on another paper so that we could shade/color/stencil using the lines. The shading was rather difficult at first because due to the white of the font; the lighting was really hard to get and I was rather wary of making it too dark and then not being able to display the lighting effects and highlights. But if I thought the shading was hard, the color pencil was harder though it was more fun. I tried using darker tones like brown to make other colors darker kind of like how it was shown in the video but I accidentally sketched over the white letters. However it was fixed with a good eraser and the little that was left behind simply emphasized the shadows which was good. On the other hand; the orange and the red tones were overlapping each other so at one point the part between letters were more orange than red though I managed to fix it with some extra red though it did still look more orange. But anyways I had fun with the parts that were somewhat separate from the text because the coloring around text was the hardest part. It wasn't so easy to fix mistakes there as it was in an empty section. Nonetheless the most difficult part of this entire project for me was the screen printing. I wasn't really strong enough to screen print effectively and I think my registration of the paper and design wasn't really aligned perfectly so it kind of came out wacky and had quite a few white spaces between the different stencils... Also I don't think I chose the colors that well; It would have been better with the normal colors of the Coca-Cola can like red and white and black.
