Before this project, I would just look out my window and think nothing of what I say. This allowed me to take something so simple and see it through a completely different perspective. I’ve had the same view out that window for years and have never taken a minute to observe the simple things that are right outside. In my opinion, the inking portion of the project was better for me to complete than the cut out piece. I feel that I had more control of what I was trying to accomplish with my work. My cut out could have been more precise with cleaner curves and edges. This was because I was just getting used to the tools I required, therefore some parts didn’t come out the way I intended. This project has taught me some things that I applied to project 2 and 3 but I’m always open to improvement.

From the view from my window, there are very few things that can be depicted. The building structure takes on a box shape where each of the buildings corners may represent a specific point. The view of the road from my window resemble contour lines- from the vantage point to the beginning of the road. The details in the cars on the road remind me of a continuous contour that brings out every aspect of the vehicle. As I looked out my window from new angles, it seems as if a whole new perspective has been created. At this angle I can witness the partnered colors of the white clouds in the baby blue sky.
Other point of views from my window reveal details such as birds and insects making their way into the trees and grass. As I rushed to sketch a pigeon resting on a branch, it took flight so I was left with pure imagination. Everything I could see from my window view further proved to me that everything is made of simple lines that create the shapes of a structure. It is the same concept that applies to everything people see out their window. Even the simple details such as lanes in the road which are made up of collected points that create a yellow line following the path of the street.
