What Art 1

1. The mood of these images is dark.  The red background portrays a dark tone.  The expressions on their faces are serious.  The first picture the girl is standing up, and the second girl is laying down.
2. I imagine these pictures are created using oil paint on a canvas. 
3. I feel that the random brush strokes accentuate the mood of the painting by making it look more sloppy and less refined.  They're very realistic looking, but the paint strokes remind you that you're still looking at a painting.
4. After watching the TedTalk, I know that the artist was attempting to deceive you and make you believe the pictures are paintings.  She is excellent at depersonification and making you believe that the people are paint, when they are only coated in it.

This project applies positive and negative space to create an image.  Even though there is no color, you can discern the different objects and animals in this image because of the contrast of black and white.  I am very pleased with how it turned out and I wouldn't change a thing.  I would say that this is the "best" creation i have made so far.  I used quotations be...
