When i worked on this Land or Sky project i tried to make it as creative as possible, so first i had to choose land or sky, and i chose land. This piece of art describes me very well because it shows how simple i am with my art work and with how i think about things. When i was working on my art work the issues that i came across was making everything be proportional. This artwork is intended to say that land is just a plain simple thing but it could be more exciting if you wanted it to be.
While i was working on my artwork i used a lot of different art techniques that i didn't know before such as burnishing my chalk pastels together. While i was using the chalk pastels i realized that the colors i was using didn't look together, so i had to use different colors to make the grass look realistic. I also had to think about my proportion sizes. I had to make everything look about the same on each side(which was pretty hard to do ). Ms. Purtee also helped me make sure that everything lined up at the top, so she had me put a dot at the top of my paper and made sure everything met at the same point at the top. At first i made the road really dark black but then i though about local color and tried to make sure everything was a realistic color. All of these art skills helped me understand the importance of art and how artist have to be careful and patient when they paint.
As i was working on my artwork i thought of different ideas i could do and my first thought was to do a mountain with a river under it, but then as i drew i realized that it got harder and harder. When i was trying to mix my colors together to make the river a good color blue it didn't turn out so well. And when i was showing everyone at my table my artwork they thought i should change my ideas, so that when i came up with the idea of the endless road.
