                             Assignment 3 Revised                 Paper: 18''x 24'' News Print                 Time: 1 hour          Art Tools:  Black pen, colored markers, pencil I revised this work by using different kinds of art tools. And I decided for a day to think about how to improve my work by using those art tools. For instance, the mango I used different colored makers to show it's not ripe. At the bottom of the banana I used black makers because I want to show the shape of the banana more clearly. The watermelon I used pen and markers in order to show the varies of lines on the watermelon. I also pay attention to the lines of those fruit. I used markers or pen (the inside of the coconut) to color it to discriminate thick and thin lines.

                 For this work, I rolled my pencil and pen to shape the light of the sun. Then I squeezed my pen to shape the sails of the boat. I squeezed my phone to shape the hull of the boat. I squeezed the lid of the cup to make the sun on the up right corner. I squeezed the pen first at the bottom of the paper. Then I tear a small piece of paper to make the wave of the sea.

Although the conbination is numourous and messy. They form a three-dimensional space. The colors are well matched and the lines and dots are casual. I think a drawing can give other people a virsual impact. It's messy but it has a regularity to follow.                                        Artist 2:  Dan Brault...
