This piece shows a bright blue shoe with red on the sole. There is a woman holding it up with her mouth (which I’d say is pretty impressive). The value used goes perfectly from the original to the cut out pieces. The red lipstick is dark in the value piece and you can even see where the shadow is on the sole of the shoe which is very impressive and shows that she stayed true to the values of the piece. She also put highlights on the shoe at the top of it to show that it’s shiny and bright. I think it would look even better if she put highlights also on the part where the heel meets the show to give it more emphasis. Overall, the piece is very well done. 

This picture is a unique choice to use. It uses the art element of perspective, as the ceiling and floor go away from the viewer. The different texture thumbnails are very interesting in this piece; however, I am not sure if they entirely go with the textures of the original piece. I wish the drawn piece would have less white space in it, to give it more value and make it look more like the original. On the bottom, it looks like it is marbely and on the side it looks like waves. The inside of it looks great! Overall, I would say to add more texture to the bottom to make it look more cohesive and fuller. 

The work gives off an eerie mythical vibe which is really pleasing to the eye. It seems like there are three moons in the piece which is interesting and I’m not sure what the artist’s intention was with that-probably to give the moon more emphasis which it definitely does. The moon in the center is the focal point in my opinion because it is the brightest and in the center of the piece. It’s interesting that the artist used lines within the piece as well, going back to our first element of design of the semester. This piece takes me back to a horror movie where it’s dark and there’s a full moon-also reminds me of vampires and werewolves. I wish that this piece had some color to it (I see some red, but I think more would look really good), I think that would make it really pop; although the gray scale is also nice.
