=**Portrait of A Place**=

=**[|Homebush Shipwreck 3 - Brent Pearson]**= The type of space this image represents is a landscape. In this image a mood of abandonment is showed, but it a more cheery abandonment. This is because the colors in the sky provoke a more happy rather than sad feeling to the viewer. The artist of this photo is Brent Pearson. He is an unknown artist, but after looking through some of his other work I noticed that he tries to show the beauty in things that to the outside eye may seem ugly or unappealing. He made this image seem beautiful by capturing the image when the sun was setting and the sky was full of colors. In this particular image the artist used the rule of thirds to set the boat off to the side of the image, allowing for the foliage on the right to also be included in the image. Which gives the viewers more to look at. Overall I think Brent Pearson did a great job on his image Homebush Shipwreck 3.



**[|Chicago - Paul Raphaelson]**
This type space represented in this image is a cityscape. In this cityscape the mood is kind of dark and really makes you think. I think this is the mood because in the image there is one building with the sun lighting it up more so than the others, and the others are more foggy looking. This really makes the viewer wonder what they are really looking for in this image. I think this kind of “mystery” in the image makes it much more interesting. The artist behind this image is Paul Raphaelson, Ralph typically takes more modern industrial looking images. I think that this image shows his work because Chicago has very alike looking buildings which makes the city have a very industrial look to it. Some compositional techniques used in this image is leading lines. Leading lines can be seen from the buildings all leading to the sharp line of the sun in the sky. This photo by Paul Raphaelson was shot very well and is titled Chicago.



**[|Summer- Masinka]** The type of space this imag e represents is an interior space. I think that this image gives of a very thoughtful, creative mood. Meaning the image makes you feel like creating and thinking. The image makes the room look like a very lovely place to go and get work done. The artist of this image is Masinka (flickr user). This image is titled Summer. Most of this mans images give off very happy vibes, that bring out the personality of the person or the place the image was taken. In this image many leading lines can be found in the shadows of the sun windows, along with the walls framing the stairs and back wall, which gives the image much depth.



=**My Project**= For my printmaking project I am planning on using the image transfer technique to transfer one of my photos onto tile. I think this will help illustrate my concept because I want to try to use unique photos that will relate to my unique ideas of printing on tiles to make coasters. For this project my concept is my love for natural and the beauty in the changing seasons. For my final coasters I plan on using and image from spring, summer, fall, and winter. To show that all these seasons are beautiful.In all of my photos I use I hope to portray a happy, bright and cheery mood. This will allow people to see the beauty in the seasons, and maybe share the joy I have.I plan to illustrate both landscape photos and cityscapes because they best illustrate my love for the changing seasons. For my final images, I plan to have 4-6 4x4 images. I will then use the image transfer technique to put these photos on my tile. After the images are transfered I plan to put mod podge over the top of top to seal the images, and then place thin sheets of cork on the bottom of the tiles to finish of my project making the coasters usable.
