katie's art

1. Quality of Work I think that since the beginning of the year my quality of work has improved. For the first few assignments my approach was with simplistic art. More recently, I added additional elements to my art. Although they are small adjustments, they take my art to the next level. For example, in my American Gothic design I used the pen tool to outline the art and then used the pen tool to create shapes to but as a background. I feel like that was going further than I had to. It was definitely had more quality than some of my original ideas for that assignment.  2. Effort At the beginning of the year I would usually just start a project without a plan. However, I have found that if I plan out my ideas they turn out better. When starting some pieces I sometimes have a vague idea, but without additional planning it can take a lot of time to make it work. I think that looking at others work, giving critiques, and receiving critiques definitely helped me improve current art p

Renee Magritte created the painting "Empire of Light". The visual illusion created from this image is that the light is only lighting up part of the city. However, it should all be bright because there is still light in the sky. That is why the city is dark, but the sky is light blue with white clouds.
