Art 1 Final Exam

All things considered, I am proud of how my piece turned out. I am most proud of the bottom half (the one with the intricate tree). I felt rushed on the top half, and therefore it didn't turn out as well as I would have liked. If I could change one thing, I would definitely have preferred to be able to take more time to shade and add depth to my piece. I have incorporated the theme two in one because one tree can have two different meanings, and can evoke two different emotions. Beauty is in everything, and I tried to show that with my piece.

My project is incorporating the theme of "Two In One" through combining two separate tree scenes, incorporating the idea that there is more to something or someone than what meets the eye. The top part of the piece is seemingly lifeless, and boring, while the bottom half is complex and elegant. Although the piece could be thought of as two separate trees, it could also be thought of as one. When you look at the top of the piece as a dull tree, you can see the bottom half as it's roots. In contrast, when you look at the complex part as the top of the piece, you see the dull tree as it's roots. I am using graphite/pencil to create my art piece. So far, I am having a bit of trouble determining correct proportions for my piece.
