The Best Letter Is...


Completed the letter


Reflection Questions

The strongest areas of my art are the use of shadows and layers. The shadows on the sides created more light towards the center making the viewer look in that direction. The use of layers help make the lower case letters look like they're fading and blending into the background. I can improve on composition and using more of the given space. To improve on composition I could put an object in different positions and see what's best for the final look of the picture. I could work on using the space by seeing my hat can be added or needed to fill the area.  The easiest part of this activity would have been choosing the letter and colors. Choosing what letter to use was easy because I knew wanted to use a letter that was part of my name. Deciding on what colors to use was easy because I like using different shades of red and pink. The most difficult part would be deciding on the position and composition of the letters. The position of the letters became hard because I different ideas I where I wanted them.  Mediums used in this activity are the gradient tool, layers, font and composition. I used the gradient tool on all four of the sides to draw more attention to the center. The font was used to style the letters. Layers were used to give the illusion that the smaller letters were fading into the background. I demonstrated the objective by creating an interesting way to show the letter F. If I were to do this activity again I'd add more of the letter in different fonts, change the composition and use more of the space.
