John Paul Caponigro's work is a good example of this. === === __urbanscapes__- using subways and other parts of the urban landscape (trash, street signs etc.) to illustrate your idea. ===

== == 1) The first picture is a cityscape photo, because it includes; lights, a bridge, and buildings. This mood to me would be considered really late at night and calm, because even though there are lights there's no cars shown in the photograph, which would make the picture seem busy and alive. Thomas Tucker the photographer, he is a specific cityscape photographer. Tucker shows level of horizon where the water stops under the bridge. He also demonstrates a weird kind of leading lines, the bridge lights that reflect in the water and that are actually there move your eyes throughout the whole piece. The second picture I found is a landscape picture, because it's a portrait of nature. The mood I see in this picture is calming and early in the morning. It's really relaxing. Richard Bernabe is the photographer of this picture. He demonstrates lighting techniques. He uses natural light and shadows. Also there are leading lines. The mountains natural edges give it some lines that lead you across the picture. The third picture is an interior scape. This picture is an interior scape because it's the inside of the room. The photographer of this picture is Wayne Moran, who does a lot of vintage looking pictures. This picture has the techniques of filling the frame. There is something everywhere you look in this picture. [] [] []

The printmaking technique I want to use is the gel medium transfer or I would like to maybe try this. I would use a canvas and then apply the gel medium. After that you place the picture face down and the medium has dried you apply water and peel the piece of paper the image was originally printed on and your image will be transferred to the canvas. The place I think I want to use is a place in the woods where me and my fiends hang out a lot and it's our special "place". I want to use this technique because I liked it the best and I thought it would be cool. This place has natural and available light since it was taken outside in the morning.
