 * 1) What attracted you to this piece?
 * I found this piece of art interesting. I thought it was cool how Samy Charnine’s art looked. This was my favorite piece though because of how far fetched it is. The chance of seeing a telephone booth and phone book on a different planet and Earth in the background is very unlikely, which made it so interesting.


 * 1) What problems did you encounter and how did you solve them?
 * Some of the problems I encountered occurred while I was painting my picture. I could not get the blending too well especially seeing how it took more then one day to finish this even though this was probably my hardest problem I still tried to work past it. Another problem I encountered was using the tissue paper. It was so hard getting the pieces of tissue paper the same exact size of the object. I over came this obstacle by cutting off the edges of the paper so there were not any white spots.


 * 1) Which of your pieces is most successful and why?
 * The most successful piece I had would probably be the texture and form one. Although the brown glaze did not stay even I think the effect it did have was neat. I also believe that it looks the cleanest even though some of the sides are not as smooth as they could be.


 * 1) How did this study of the elements of design help you better understand this piece and possibly other works of art?
 * This study of the elements of design helped me better understand all the different ways you can make art out of one piece. I learned how important lines are to a picture as well as color. I also learned that so many different shades of color were used in this piece and are used in many different works of art. I now understand that even though something is originally 2D it can be transformed into something that stands out and has a 3D kind of effect which I learned with the texture and form project.
