scholastics #5

For my fifth possible scholastic submission I burned a window into a piece of wood. The window was burned into the piece of wood using a wood burner. I tried to use some texture on the shingles to make them look old and weathered, I think I could have pushed the texture a little further. I also used shape on the outline and frame of the window. The outline of the shingles used line as well.

There weren’t any compositional techniques used in this artwork. This project didn’t evolve muh over the course of its creation. I knew I wanted to make another window nd I had decided I wanted it to be somewhat different than the majority of windows so I made it round. I also didn’t want to do another painting of a window so I eventually decided to burn it into wood. The shingles I added because I needed more context for where the window was and the shingles would add some texture.

This project made me want to create more wood burnings. I also want to maybe start a concentration of just windows. I have also done some wood burning in the past and this was a revisit to that skill. To improve this artwork I think I would try and add more texture and shading to the shingles. I would also shade more on the actual window.
