book page project

the book page project was to use select words on a page of a random book and illustrate what they mean to you. we did four, and on my first one, i used only black, gray and red. it was about hunting, and the red represented blood. i used salt with water color and i really liked the effect it made! the second one i made what about the sun and water, so for my illustration i flipped the picture and put the water on top and the sky on the bottom. it has very good balance, however my fish are very elementary. on the third, i only used balck and white and very few words. the contrast made this one my favorite, as well as using a special kind of brush for the feathers. the simplicity of the art really let the words be interpreted by the reader. the fourth and final book page was a face, because the text of the page was describing a person. it also alludes to a nature seem, which i represented in my picture as well.
