 * Portrait of A Place Research**


 * //Football Field//**

Explain what type of space this image represents (landscape, cityscape etc.)?
//This is kind of a mix between landscape and urbanscape however I would say it represents a cityscape.// Explain What mood is evoked by the artist? //This evokes the mood you feel every Friday, when you're looking forward to a fun filled weekend, because with a lot of darkness, there is still light shining on the football field with students and parents ready to attend and have fun.//

Explain Who the artist is, like what kind of work do they do? how does this image show that type of work?
//Matthew Bartolacci, he is an artist that does pictures and videos for shuttershock of sports events. This image represents exactly what his line of work is, which is sports pictures.//

//Compositional techniques used in this are horizon line, because the horizon line, the grass attracts your eyes first thing.//

 * //Pripyat Funfair//**

Explain what type of space this image represents (landscape, cityscape etc.)?
//Urban/landscape, because it represents an abandoned urban city but it also contains nature such as the forest in the back.// Explain What mood is evoked by the artist? The mood evoked in this picture is a sense of loneliness and abandonment, and isolation. What makes it feel this way is the rustiness of everything and the dark clouds above. Explain Who the artist is, like what kind of work do they do? how does this image show that type of work? //Vivo took this picture. They do work of taking photos of haunted/creepy places. This image shows that creepy style by showing an abandoned and dilapidated ferris wheel, making you sad, when usually ferris wheels are an object of happiness.//


 * //Los Angeles Skyline//**

Explain what type of space this image represents (landscape, cityscape etc.)?
//An obvious cityscape, because it is a skyline.// Explain What mood is evoked by the artist? //When I look at this picture, it evokes feelings of calmness and awe. Looking at a skyline in the day or night usually takes the breath away from people and leaves them in awe.// Explain Who the artist is, like what kind of work do they do? how does this image show that type of work? //Huy Moeller is the author of this picture. They do all different kinds of photography, but all of his works of places are heavily colorful and saturated and are usually taken in metropolitan areas. This image shows that metropolitan-heavily saturated cityscape artwork of Los Angeles.//

My concept for this project is to put a picture of a urbanscape or cityscape that evokes not a mood of sadness, but not happiness either onto a T shirt or a crew neck sweatshirt. Like that feeling you get when its winter and you're looking at a skyline at your nearest big city thinking about life and how beautiful and how terrible life is at the same time. I want the image to be black and white to get that feel of somewhere in between cheerful and sulky, like a gray feeling.

I want my print to be pretty big, about as big as the middle of one of my shirts. That would be about 12in x 11in.
