when I used Photoshop to change the picture to black and white, I printed out the picture and took it back to class. Then i used a projecter to copy the image from the paper to a poster that i later cut out with an xacto knife. I cut out very colorful images from magizines that poped out to me. I liked bright blues and greens so I got images that had those colors in them. There wasnt really a relation to my topic, but i liked the way it looked when it all came together. The colors seemed to blend together and it made the background seem a lot more interesting becasuse of the contrast. I used positive space for the background and negative space for the foreground. This caused the picture to look more realistic and background didnt take too much attention off my castle.When using the xacto knife, I had to be careful because the blade was so sharp. I held the knife carefully and my other hand was far away from the blade. I carved inward so there would not be any chances i got cut. The spray paint was fun and interesting. The color was very important because it helped make for an interesting and organized background.
