Art Project 2nd quarter: The Imaginary Garden

    The tittle of my art work is "The Imaginary Garden" because its a picture of my imaginary garden brought to life. When I was younger my mom bought be a Vara Braley lunch bag, and it had all these weird looking flowers. So when i would go to sleep I'd have these dream of me being stuck in this strange gardn. Were every flower was bigger that I, everything was colorful and bright. This imaginary garden of mines had soon become  a relaxing place for me so when ever i would have to go to the doctors to get a needle or when I watched a scary movie and could sleep I'd just always think of this garden and i'd be ok. So when thinking of a art project I though to myself to make it come to life.

    When first starting on this project I drew a smaller version on white paper of what i wanted my bigger version to resemble. When I finished my rough draft,  I also consulted my teacher Marcie Hall on how my drawing could be better. She gave me a few tips adn then I was off to make the final draft. When first making my final picture I was intimdated. But then as I started drawing things started to come together.

    The medium I chose to use when bringing color to my artwork was pastels, as well as color pencils. I didn't wasn't to use paint because I put in allot of small details. And I wanted them all to be captures. I felt as though paint would overshadow them.
