Alexis'+element+study



I chose the piece because I loved how she built it up, even in a painting. I could imagine a little girl walking along the sidewalk feeling the gate as she walked along. It made me fell like that little girl again, and I think that’s what makes good art. It makes you feel something. I think my line drawing was the most successful. I think that because it was close to the original. I was also proud of how well I did, because I am not usually good at art. I think my least successful was my value study. I think that it looked kind of disjointed and not blended well. I was squinting when I did most of the painting, so even though it looked okay when I was squinting, I didn’t like the way it looked when opened my eyes. I think this process benefited me as an artist because I can look at art and see the different pieces of it now. When I look at art now I look to see if the spaces are working for or against the painting. I also look to see if the lines are making the piece interesting now, instead of just looking at the piece as one piece, I break it up now.
