In the first picture, it's a cityscape and the mood that I get from the artist is sort of a run-down city, but there's still a little bit of hope that is represented from the sun peeking in on the clouds. Since the colors of the graffiti on the buildings are bright, and so are the colors in the sky, the photo seems almost fake because they are such bright colors. In the middle picture, my mood towards this piece reminds me of my old house because the picture seems rustic and old fashioned almost. You can see the wall and floor falling apart, and gives me a feelings of a decrepit basement. Also since the television adds to the emotion of old fashioned. The third picture on the right give me a very paradise, afterworld feelings. The stars are very calming, especially the reflection in the water because it looks very calm and soothing. My mood towards this piece is peaceful and hopeful because it feels like if it had a voice, it would say, "shoot for the stars", and "there's always hope".
 * Explain What mood is evoked by the artist? **

1. The picture on the left is by Crados Frontignan. His work is very rustic and old looking with a modern twist on some. This image shows his work because it's of a building with rust on it and also graffiti, which he does a lot of. 2. The middle picture is by Stephen Brett Stoddart. His work 3. The right picture is by John Paul Caponigro. His work is mostly landscape. This picture shows his work because it's clearly a landscape picture, and it's very majestical looking.
 * Explain Who the artist is, like what kind of work do they do? how does this image show that type of work? **

In the lanscape picture, he used level horizon and leading lines. In the cityscape picture, he used leading lines with the buildings. In the interiorscape, rule of thirds was used because the chair and the tv are where the lines would meet. Also, the focal point is the tv.
 * 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. **

I want to use the gel technique because it seems the most interesting and it would look cool on wood.
 * Explain the printmaking technique you hope to use and how it will illustrate your concept for this project. **

I want to use the picture of my shed and transfer it onto wood.
 * Explain your concept for this project. What will your imagery look like, why? **

I will use natural lighting because it's outside. I want to create a old looking picture and almost spooky picture.
 * What mood and lighting will your portray? **

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 will transfer the image onto wood, and the final image will be around 10X12.
