This is my redone spiral drawing. I add color too it. I chose light blue, blue, and purple. It's goes from light to dark and shows novement.

This is my Disney landscape/spooky tree painting. I made it more dramatic and spooky then my first one. Instead if the typical happy cheerful Disney I made it dark and spooky. The colors in the picture, especially on the house, contrast each other to show the different surfaces. And both the ground and sky fade from dark to light to show perspective and distance.

This is my colored squares project. I placed the light blue next to green and it made the blue look lighter and the green way darker. Also the reds look different, I used the same shade but one looks darker and the other looks lighter, almost orange.

This is the original landscape photo I'm drawing from.

This is my spooky tree drawing on the iPad. I chose to make the background go from orange to yellow. The trees are if course blue and have dots on them to make it look more "magical" and Disney like.

This is my landscape drawing on the IPad. It's was a picture of a small forest fire in Oregon. I tried the make it look smokey and only show a little bit of blue sky. I drew the trees blue instead of black. It was difficult to draw the bushes at the bottom but I did my best with it.

This is my two point perspective drawing of the hallway. It adds more 3-dimensional objects then the one point perspective drawing does. It was slightly difficult to figure out which lines go to the vanishing point and which ones are parallel with the edge of the paper but it all worked out.

This is my motivational poster. I drew a person on the ground and nobody was helping them up. It shows another person coming by to help them up. The blue shows the kindness and the red contrasts with the blue to show the difference in attitudes.
