What perspective did you use?I used first perspective, as it fit best with the picture. What medium did you pick?I used charcoal. To me, it's the easiest when it comes to foliage and drawing the palm tree leaves with something like pencil or pen would be agonizing. Plus I knew I could show some value with them. Tell me about the photo. Where did you take it?The original photo was of a hotel I went to last summer. It was in Florida and my step-mom and dad had just got married, so we stayed in a nicer hotel. The picture is of the shallowest part of the pool, with palm trees and fountains that water came out of lining the pool. It was a very hot day, so the pool was very nice. What did you find difficult about the project?I found the perspective aspect difficult. Rulers are hard for me to use, as my lines never come out straight. Plus the fountains were very hard due to their angles and keeping the perspective somewhat accurate. I also had to omit some parts of the photo for sale of ease. Also, I lost my in-progress picture, so that's why it's not in the slideshow How many different mediums and techniques did you use?I used five different techniques/mediums; glitter, burning, paint, tissue paper, and construction paper. The tissue paper was the first layer, with the hand and heart (construction paper) being the next. Then in the background, there's paint dots which were accomplished by using the end of the paintbrush instead of the bristles. Then there was the glitter, scattered around in the back. The heart and fingernails was painted with acrylic paint, and the blood was painted with watercolor paint. Finally, a lighter was used to burn the edges and a hole in the postcard. What was your word and how did you portray it?My word was heartbreak. I portrayed it by a hand squeezing a heart, and the heart bleeding from the pressure. At least in my experience, heartbreak isn't like your heart just breaks in two, it's like there's something squeezing all of the life out of you. So I tried to portray that feeling with a visual.
