1. The meaning of my artwork was to commemorate the 14 years that I lived on the beach in Jupiter, Florida. This piece meant a lot to me because the beach was a huge part of my life for such a long time and I finally got to create something that represented that.
2. I used cross-hatching to create the rough texture on the rocks and I used smooth lines on the crabs to create the softness of their actual shell. I used a mixture of cross-hatching and smooth lines to create the island in the background. 3. I tried not to put anything smack in the middle of the piece and I think that made everything come together. 4. I implied movement in my scratch board by using the clouds and the water to make the artwork actually come to life. You can see the ridges in the water instead of it just being a flat plain. You can also see the movement in the clouds because they are all spreading out towards the right side of the paper. 5. I definitely could have used more practice with the scratch board and planned out how I was going to do the water. I feel like the water could have splashed against the rocks and it would have looked really nice. I could've done better on the clouds as well, I feel as if they look messy. 6. How did you demonstrate a wide range of shading values? I was very delicate with the x-acto knife when creating the grey values and I pushed very hard with the tool to make it white. It was weird being the total opposite of a pencil on white paper but it was very fun!
