  20. I wanted to express the essence of the figure- a lonely girl, consoling herself. I remember wanting to make her seated, but not wanting to care about perspective. Working in an abstract way helped me to express myself more. I was able to enjoy painting, mixing color, making brush strokes, and controlling line.

  21. This was the last piece in my concentration. I remember being so obsessed with shading in the different shapes with paint. I really taught myself a lot. I was trying all different weights of line, contrasting warm vs. cool colors, trying to get as many shapes to pop out as possible.

  22. Due Dates: • Breadth #2, 3, 4 due by Friday, Nov. 2nd • These works will receive individual grades • You will receive an overall grade for your participation in the critique • Your work will also be judged as a whole to see how strong your breadth section is.
