Explain What mood is evoked by the artist? I think the mood of this picture is gloom, but also happiness because you think of the potential for what they could be building after they tear the old structures down. =====

Explain Who the artist is, like what kind of work do they do? how does this image show that type of work? The artist of the pictures is Paul Raphaelson, and he is a urban explorer and photographer, and most of his work is gloomy like these, and black and white. =====

Explain what type of compositional technique (leading lines, rule of thirds, framing, fill the frame, level horizon, focal point and point of view) the artist used to create their portraits. The composition for the pictures is actually really good, I like the leading lines, and how mostly everything in the frame is focused. =====

Tell who the artist is that shot the photo and the title of the image if available. Paul Raphaelson, his photos don’t have names.

 * 1) [| Pictures]
 * 2) Explain the printmaking technique you hope to use and how it will illustrate your concept for this project. I want to transfer an image onto sheet metal or glass, because the metal theme will go along with the industrial type pictures that I will be printing.
 * 3) Explain your concept for this project. What will your imagery look like, why? I want my pictures to be very old looking, and distressed, but at the same time, have a good amount of detail.
 * 4) What mood and lighting will your portray? Gloomy lighting, but it has to be bright enough so it’ll show up on the metal.
 * 5) What type of place will you illustrate (landscape, cityscape etc.) Abandoned machinery and industrial
 * 6) Explain how large the final image will be and what it will be printed onto. Refer to the original Portrait of A Place Resource Page for details on the techniques. I will eventually be printing a photo of something old looking, and maybe distressed, onto aluminum sheet.
