title:Wall Drawing
media:Pencil
This piece of art was made using red, black, blue, and yellow pencil. This artist is very well known for the lines in the work he does.This specific artwork definitely shows line.Creating this artwork would take a lot of time and a lot of patience.This piece also uses blanace and color. This is hard to interoperate what this means because there really isn't a definite meaning. If he colored the squares this would make this image way more interesting.

There are all these wood pieces put together to conform a state joined.
A principle that is used is proportion because things are proportioned throughout this sculpture. Also the elements used in this are color, shape, and texture.
Bracketing: This sort of reminds me of different geographical features toasted into one scene.
Visiting the museum really opened my eyes to the different types of art there are. It was dead so i got to really go around and interoperate what the artwork really had to give to me. I would love to do more assignments like this.
