 I can call my painting a expressionist painting. First the colors are unnatural. The trees were red, and the clouds were purple and dark blue. Also the content was very not usual. I did not draw the drawing like a photograph, I drew it by my expressions. The mouse was very small, and also the other things were very big. Because there cannot be a tree that is almost tall enough to touch the cloud. The reason I chose my animal a mouse was because it is small and fast. Even though it is small and skinny it is fast at thinking. It is also quick. I chose black, because it represents quiet and loud at the same time. It is a great color to show fear. In my drawing the mouse is feared by everything near him. I used rock salt on the tree, tape on the sky, Graduated wash on the animal and the cloud, Wet into Wet in the purple cloud, Bleeding on the tree in the left, Blending Wash on the tree on the right. If I can do my project over again, I will fix the purple cloud, because there is a pastel mark that I drew on accident and it makes it look very messy. What I like most about my project is the clouds, because without the clouds the drawing will look very different. And the feelings of the drawing will change.

One Point Perspective Room Critique


The theme of my room was a flower shop, and I chose that theme because I wanted to give a feeling of happiness, and when I thought of bright colors, I thought of flowers. I thought bright colors of beautiful flowers would make my drawing look more happier. My unexpected environment was just a plain brick wall to make a opposite feeling. I thought it was a good match because when you look at a flower shop, it gives you a feeling like many bright colors for delightedness, but when you look at a brick wall, it gives you a feeling of dark and the bright feeling just stops; I wanted to give a opposite feeling in the unexpected environment. The biggest challenge of this assignment was drawing the bookshelf.It was hard because I had to make the seed box perspective too, and that was why I had to put it in a box to make a box with seeds in. The thing I am most proud of in this assignment is the wallpaper of this room. This room was sort of my imaginary room I wanted, with a wallpaper of pink, and a carpet with pink and black mixed; which is my favorite colors, and I think it gave a happy feeling to my room. If I could change anything in this assignment, I would want to change the rules about having three furniture. My plan was to only draw a bookshelf and a small chair, but since we needed to draw three furniture, which just changed my plan.
