1. Imperial Baths at 2. Fire Escape 3. Lost Spaces

Explain what type of space this image represents (landscape, cityscape etc.)?
1. interiorscape 2. urbanscape 3. cityscape

Explain What mood is evoked by the artist?
1. This photo's mood is creepy and the photo feels cluttered and messy. 2. This photo's mood is serene because it is simple and cool. 3. This photo's mood is warmer than the second's, but it still feels uncomfortable or intimidating.

Explain Who the artist is, like what kind of work do they do? how does this image show that type of work?
1. This photo is by Tom Kirsch. Most of his work is similar to this photo: rustic, messy, and cluttered. 2. and 3. These photos are by Paul Raphaelson. Most of his photos are taken in a city and are cityscapes or urbanscapes.

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.
1. Leading lines because the the trim leads your eyes to the back of the photo. 2. Leading lines because the stairs lead across the page. 3. Leading lines because all of the buildings lead to the back of the photo, fill the frame because there is hardly negative space, and level horizon because the fence is straight.

Explain the printmaking technique you hope to use and how it will illustrate your concept for this project.
I want to transfer my photo on a piece of wood. I really like the way that it looks kind of rustic and I think it will work well with my photos. I want to use a photo that I took in Florida. All of these photos are very warm and represent a happy place for me which I think will transfer best onto wood.

Explain your concept for this project. What will your imagery look like, why? I want my photo/print for this project is to show a happy, peaceful place that is important to me. I want my image to look kind of rustic and that is why I chose to transfer it on wood, but I still want it to appear warm and calm. What mood and lighting will your portray?

What type of place will you illustrate (landscape, cityscape etc.) Landscape

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 want my final image to be printed on a medium sized piece of wood, the size about of a half a sheet of paper.
