The island- Alisa Foster qtr. 3 project

I have created this work to show how beautiful a simple drawing can be with a little texture and shading added to it. I made a simple island with water and trees because that was something I knew how to draw so I just perfected it. I think my work communicates that you can see a lot of beauty in color. I used different colors to make certain parts of the drawing pop out like the tree. My current work relates to my previous because all my work has a lot of color in it that represents my colorful personality. My work is like contemporary art because many artists such as Claude Lorrain who specializes in making paintings similar to mine. First, I thought of a drawing to draw, then I drew it, then I colored. It was very simple. My work reflects the world we live in by painting a picture of serene calmness of an island. People want to relax and go to an island similar to mine. I learned how to make different textures by using different shading and how hard I pressed my pencil by making it darker or lighter.
