I chose this artist, and particularly this work of art, for my project because I really wanted a challenge. This piece definitely did that for me. I also chose this piece because I really like mathematical things, and this piece also included that, with how the fish and the birds fit together like puzzle pieces, and how they get more detailed as they get further away from each other.

I had many challenges while I was doing this project. One of my first challenges was when I was drawing my piece for the first time. I had a very hard time trying to get the birds and the fish to fit together just right so that it looked as much like the original as I could make it. But, once I took my time, and printed out a copy of it, I got it to look a lot better. Another challenge I had was making the lines on my black and white painting. I couldn't find a good brush, and I had to paint over them several times. But, with Mrs. Ruggles' help, I found the right brush and took my time, and got the lines to look pretty good.

I think that my most successful piece is my line drawing. I chose that one because it really shows all of the figures the best of the three. I also think that it is the most polished of my three pieces. Even though that is the most successful piece, I had a lot of fun making the other two pieces. Choosing the colors for the shape and space was fun, and the value study was really fun to paint. Over all, I really enjoyed this project, and I am very happy with how my pieces turned out.
