This drawing challenges my ideas of what a drawing can be because there are many elements in this work, include points, lines and graphics. 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.

 The reason why this work challenges me the ideas what a drawing can be is this work uses different tools and drawing techniques. For instance, the bottles are used by painting, and the leaves on the up left corner which probably draws on the computer. So I think a drawing can have diversity. Use amounts of elements (Such like the combination of toys, tools in this artwork. ) and plan the structure of your work to show your topic and feelings to other people.
