Standing Still


A museum is a great place to think. Thoughts and Ideas flow so readily in the beautiful environment. I love philanthropy. Unfortunately, the national portrait gallery did not have many black and white photos which really resonated with my artistic vision for the statue of liberty in the culmination of my work. The trip was not useless in that aspect as I did find some inspiration.

The trip to the museum led me to a couple of critical concepts as far as the artistic aspect:

--Use of vivid colors was more appealing; this means shading to cause gradients is important, and a picture that has more

--Focus on Clarity in the work. The focus has more clarity and the other parts are going to fade out into the distance.

--Make different ranges of clarity with different sizes of writing and different styles. I'm clearly going to need to try different styles and flip them around and play around with the styles.

The museum will definitely be frequented by me before semester end; I need to view a lot more of the artwork to figure out how I want to portray the statue of liberty.
