1. Which project was your most successful? Describe the theme and or topic and the process you went through to complete the project. Were the choices you made regarding material, size, technique, etc beneficial to enhancing this project?
For the project that I choose that was the most successful was my pen and ink piece. This piece was the outside of the coffee shop in downtown Apex, Common Grounds. I choose to do that place because I know a lot of people who work there and I go there often, so it's very dear to me. It was my first time using pen, and it's a medium I have always wanted to use, and it was fun to use, and I was happily surprised to have the piece turn out so well, and will definitely want to do another piece in this medium again. The techniques I used for this piece enhanced it because I used multiple like stippling, cross hatching, and inventive. All the different values were hard to do so you could tell the difference between the different textures. I tried to do a different technique for each surface in the photo, like the windows I did hatching and for the wood I did an inventive wood design. But the mix of all of them came out pretty well and added many elements to the piece. Overall, I was pretty satisfied with this piece.
