Project 6: Control vs. Chaos
This was my favorite project of intro to art, partly because I liked how it turned out, but also because my daughter did one with me and it provided good "mommy-daughter time."

Macro Texture Assignment. In my class, several people thought that I took this with the black and white feature on my camera, or that I edited in black and white. I didn't.

Conceptual Art Assignment: I chose to do antique vs. modern. We have everything we need in the palm of our hands, nowadays, while 100 years ago much more energy went into daily activities. This was one of my favorite assignments.

The Following Black and White abstracts were for an assignment on positive and negative space. I did the assignment backwards, actually; the nature was supposed to be the white (but positive) space.
