Mitchell's+element+study

**// I can observe and describe a work of art in reference to its place in History. //**


 * //My paintings/drawings/tile were of the famous Van Gogh painting "Starry Night". Why did I choose this painting as my element study? I chose this painting because I already had a connection with this artist before, when I was in the Upper elementary. I did this painting with oil pastels back then, it came out ok I guess but this tile came out pretty good.//**


 * //What were my problems and how did I solve them? I had barely any problems besides of time of course, but overall I had few to none. Most of my problems came in when I was doing the tile piece, painting in those tight corners was very difficult to do, but I did manage to come out on top of it.//**


 * //My favorite part of this assignment was the tile portion of it. This was my favorite for a few reasons, we actually got to use our imagination in this part, instead of just copying exactly what was done before, in the tile you had options on how to alter the work of art to your own liking. As you see here I popped up the Cyprus tree because I believe that's the focal point of this piece. I also popped the Moon out some because to me that stands out quite well, just as the tree does on the left. I lastly indented the left bottom mountain range just for some extra texture to it, pretty much just for fun, and it turned out looking well I believe.//**
