Sketchbook Cover Reflection

Reflection Questions

1. This photo has good compositional standpoint because it uses the golden mean and has several elements of art included.

2. I value this photograph because I think it is the best photo I have ever taken.  I took it at Santa Monica Pier in California.  The picture is very unique and has a cool view of the location.

3. This photo inspired my theme because I wanted it to incorporate things that I like, as well as use the elements of art.  My theme is the beach, and California in general. 

4. One image I selected was a palm tree, which goes along with the theme of California.  Also, I included waves and sand, another part of the beach.

5. The elements of art I included were color and texture.  Color fits with this because I used an analogous color scheme (green, blue, yellow).  Texture was used too by using different materials on the cover (construction paper, glitter, tissue paper).  The principle of design I used was emphasis.  Emphasis was created by using large images.
