I absolutely love my building! I worked really hard, and it turned out great! I don’t overly like the background of the wall, for there are a lot of eraser marks. I think Japan is really cool so I decided to create a piece of my own after finding a wonderful picture/drawing to use. I would look at the picture more before starting because I made a lot of mistakes that way. I now know how to make one point and two point perspective art and I’m glad I do because it will be helpful in further projects. I was surprised by my shading skills, although I think I’ve had enough of shading for my lifetime. First I sketched my lines using the ruler, then I went over them, added details and shadows, and then voila it was finished!

In this piece me, Jocelyn, and Koen created a hawk diving for its afternoon meal. For line we created cracks in the rock with an ink pen to add depth to the canyon. Next, in color we used warmer colors to represent the day and the warmth of the canyon, while the mouse is a darker blue showing that he is the target (hence the target around him). Furthermore for space, we used painting techniques to create a canyon that is wide and spacious. Continuing into texture we added canyon colored paper for the feather off canyon parts making a sensory storm for the admirer. For form we accomplished this by making the canyon look deep and long by using paper and paint. Shape is how we ripped the paper to mark it look like rugged canyon walls. Finally for value we used different shades for the clouds, paper, and canyon walls.
