Time Taken: 2hrs
Being able to remember how to move the frames in this project was most difficult because there were so many different layers to work with.

The song starts off with a flute intro with piano. It is smooth and flows together not slow, but not fast, it gives the air of an introduction to a memory. The sort behind this song is of a war veteran loosing what little he has left, and only having memory and tragedy. A woman beings to sing, it is soft and echos. The beginning of the song sounds like the start to a story of a memory.
The flute quiets and drums and trumpets begin to sound, making the song dramatic. The woman’s singing sounds more desperate as she sings,”calling into the night…fighting for what’s right…” The song continues on with the trumpets and drums rising and falling with violin in the background giving a touch of sadness to the war-like sounds of the drums and trumpets. The song quiets towards the end and the flute is heard one last time with the woman singing in a hushed voice that slowly fades away.
I have learned a lot from this project. It has definitely helped me to better understand better figure/ground relationships in my art and helped me to get a better understanding of how obvious and abstract figure ground relationships look. If there are some things I could have done differently, it would have been to not forget my project the day it was due and plan ahead, like making thumbnails of what i wanted to draw, before nose-diving into making a full sketch of my piece in the drafting part of the project. One thing I would use from this project in my next one would be planning ahead better so I can make something more pleasing to the eye.
For the inking part of my project I noticed that placing my inked work in a way that would please the eye on my paper was difficult because what I focus on would be different from what would catch the eye of other people. What I did find enjoyable was being able to turn my photos into obvious and abstract figure ground by photoshopping, drafting, sketching and finally inking.

The empty Pepsi and orange juice container side by side in the corner of the window being hit by the sun gives off the impression of two people out together, enjoying each others company. These containers are alone and undisturbed in the sunny afternoon. The small plant growing underneath the storm drain grate shows that even in an industrial place like downtown Brooklyn, nature can still survive and thrive in little nooks and crannies of the city, and finally, the bottle of Arizona and trip of plastic on the earthy brown subway tracks give of the feeling of two people laying on the earth, looking up at the sky, with nothing else but these two objects on the floor, alone, but not completely.
