The picture on the right was a image took at the Museum of the City of New York. The photo I took was a piece of illustration drawn by Don Freeman for his famous work on the popular children’s book, A Pocket for Corduroy. The image shows a room full of chairs and bed with blue and red being the primary colors being used. The elements I find in common with this art and my design is they both are using 2 primary colors blue and a near reddish color. Some differences I see is my background is red orange and his art has a mostly blue background. Also his artwork has lost of objects in work but mine doesn’t.

ImagiNATION- Deliver
While doing this project I though it would be easy but I was wrong. I barely used chalk for my work so this was new to me and a somewhat challenge. I enjoyed this project finding ways to use chalk.
Color Your Selfie – Deliver
I enjoyed taking a picture to color it into in colors I prefer. I also got to learn how to do such things with the adobe programs.

Project 2- Texture and Pattern
Project #1 Lost and Found Phase 4
I learned a lot from this project such as getting to know different types of art such as Ambiguous and Obvious. I could have improved my work by improving my inking and having a better understanding of the assignment. This project was still very enjoyable.

This is a stained leaf found laying on little pebbles. I can be seen as an organic shape because it’s structure is not symmetrical. The figure/ground relationship is obvious because you can clearly see the background and object.

This is a Platform Edge found in the train station. It can be seen as a geometric shape because you can see shapes such as squares and circles. The figure/ground relationship is obvious because you can see that object that is being shown.

This is a Manhole Cover found on the ground. It can be seen as a geometric shape because you can see rectangles and circles. The figure/ground relationship is obvious because you can see that object what is being represented but it could probably also been seen as ambiguous because of all the details on the cover.

Not sure what this is, but it looks like a torn bicycle tire . It can be seen as a geometric shape because it’s round, but because it’s torn it could be seen as organic not having a clear shape. The figure/ground relationship is obvious because you can see the object.

This is a floor that has dark red stains on it. It can be seen as a organic shape because you can’t tell what shape is being shown. The figure/ground relationship is ambiguous because it doesn’t have a certain shape.

This is the floor in a train. It can be seen as a organic shape because you can’t cant tell what type of shape is being shown and it just looks to have a tone of colored dots everywhere. The figure/ground relationship is ambiguous because it is unclear and you are most likely trying to find a place of focus.
