Squiggle Drawing

Title of Artwork Kite

Size of Work 9in x 12in

My teacher used a sharpie to make the line in the middle. I used pencils and colored pencils to add color and a background. I turned my pages until I came up with an idea to make a kite. Then I split the page to make a background. My project started from a squiggle. I decided to turn it into a kite. And after that I added a background. I used line to separate two backgrounds, and to make the main point of the image. I used different shading to make texture on the ground. And I used color to make the kite stand out. There is a kite and it is floating away from the bright, happy, little field into a dark forest. This is like getting lost and floating into the unknown of life, which can seem scary. This project relates to my life because I just moved, and a lot of things are different. I don't know too many people, or much about the school so it is very different. I am the proudest of the trees. I usually struggle drawing those, but this time i think they turned out pretty well. In the beginning I struggled with coming up with an idea. I just looked at the page differently until it clicked, and then I was done.
