Doing the mixed media project was definitely out of my comfort zone. I never liked mixed media, it always ended up too crowded and busy. But I enjoyed doing this project and adding things to it and just gluing down whatever I found like a cork or button. Working with my mentee was fun. We have different styles and tastes, so it was cool how our ideas came together. I went more towards a nature and outdoor feel while she went for a more modern but grunge look. We decided to work from the outside in, focusing on our own styles and then letting them blend together in the middle. This project taught me a lot about composition and how lines can be added to make a piece of mixed media look aesthetically pleasing. It was interesting to work with someone who had different ideas to create a piece of art.
