 * 1) == Ansel Adams ==
 * 2) == Paul Politis ==
 * 3) == Paul Raphaelson ==
 * 1) __**Ansel Adams:**__ This space represents the mountains and just nature in general because it shows the beauty of just escaping the cities and buildings to see a peaceful and untouched place.
 * 2) __**Paul Politis:**__ In this picture Paul uses the fence to show two different views of the picture which is up close with the saying on the fence bar and the city in the distance beyond the fence.
 * 3) __**Paul Raphaelson:**__ In this picture Paul uses the idea of giving the picture a ghosting image of the place moving over time and showing how time flies by sometimes in our everyday lives.
 * 1) __**Ansel Adams:**__ The mood found in this picture is showing us the beauty and peacefulness of nature and the places where buildings haven’t destroyed yet.
 * 2) **__Paul Politis:__** In this picture the mood kind of plays two sides, one side would be that the city is blocked off by the fence and you can’t get through to it and you get a feeling of it being too close but yet far away and blocked off from you. There also is the feeling that when looking at the quote on the bar it is telling us to just be you and just relax and not stress with what is happening around you.
 * 3) __**Paul Raphaelson:**__ This mood in the picture is showing us how time can fly by in our everyday lives and that we have to stop and enjoy the beauty in our everyday lives even in places that are man made.
 * 1) __**Ansel Adams:**__ Ansel really likes to use nature within her work to show the true beauty of nature and she also likes to use black and white to show the highlights within the picture and this can be seen in the image above.
 * 2) __**Paul Politis:**__ Some of Paul’s pictures as I’ve been looking for pictures of his to use really vary in different types of ways he uses it. Some ways are like the picture above, some ways have black and white but some are in color but they also are from the places he likes to travel and to show an emotion or to give his picture a voice like this picture with the quote and the fence blocking the city off from this side of the fence.
 * 3) __**Paul Raphaelson:**__ In Paul’s pictures he likes to also vary in different ways to take his pictures but uses more color and daily life in the city.
 * 1) __**Ansel Adams:**__ There is a lot of framing she uses in this picture because she uses the trees to frame the mountain and then she also uses filling the frame because there is so much to look at. There is also focal points, leading lines, and a good rule of thirds.
 * 2) __**Paul Politis:**__ Paul uses focal points, leading lines with the fence and bar, and also he uses a good rule of thirds with the placement of the city and the quote.
 * 3) __**Paul Raphaelson:**__ In this picture he uses a good rule of thirds too like the other artists but this time he uses the leading lines of ghosting and the poles on the train to show the framing and all the cool features on the train.
 * 1) __**Ansel Adams:**__ Half Dome, Merced River, Winter [|__http://www.anseladams.com/__]

Videos Of Printmaking: Metal & Wood (Maybe Glass/Tiles)

Explain the printmaking technique you hope to use and how it will illustrate your concept for this project.

 * The printmaking techniques that are shown in the videos above are some of the ideas I had for my own printmaking for this project. I hope to show in both the wood technique and the metal technique how the pictures I took are outdoors and give a nature look to it which wood will give it a rougher look while the metal will give the shine of the snow.

Explain your concept for this project. What will your imagery look like, why?

 * My imagery I hope will look like it came from nature and represents the images I took really well.

What mood and lighting will yours portray?

 * Mine will portrait the lighting of nature and the shine that the snow and scenery will show the true mood and the cool lighting of nature.

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

 * The type of landscapes I took was in my own backyard and of two other places that I love to go to which is Lapham Peak and Warren's Valley.

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.

 * If I printed onto both metal and wood I think I could vary in size because it would look cool big and it would also look cool to have a small one as well.
