.jpg challengs, showing my family, some of my friends dance bags, this is my dance family, we train together, we help each other, we support each other, we cry Heather, we comfort each other, we lift each other up, we are our harshest critics, we push each other, we share band aids, bandages, Advil liquid gels, blister strips, gaffers tape, medicle tape, water, shoe polish, bobby pins, makeup, we get tans together, we compeat against each other, we cheer together, we are the first one there at a twisted ankle, we spit of the floor for our shoes, we travel together, we know each others strengths and weaknesses, we are family.

Shady Hallow

My goals and intentions of this piece were to make bold statements by carving out the light and leaving the outlines to the viewers imagination. i accomplished this by using only shadows and light. My painting is about having as little detail as possible but still creating an image of pumpkins.The most difficult challenge was not to draw to many details. I met that challenge by focusing on the shadows and light. My painting really works well on the borders of the light and dark areas. I have learned how dramatic subtle light can be and in my next pieces I will utilize light more.

Performance

I worked on this piece for a week and two minuets before it was hung i decided I liked it better upside down.The starfish represents the performer stealing the spotlight and the shell represents the watching audience and the stage while the shadow makes it more dramatic. full range of values-5. balanced composition-3 1/2. Interesting arrangement- objects/shadows touch 2 or more sides-5. of shells, space and light-5. realistic representation-4. My piece represents a unique view because upside down it copleatly changes the whole piece. The unoccupied space is important because it draws attantion to the shadows and range of values.
