My topic for this assignment was Le Louvre Pyramide! This pice of architecture was designed by I.M.Pei. I built a small model of the Louvre it showed the underground room witch they used as part of the art gallery. Fun fact, the pyramids were actually built for a newer and grander entrance. While researching my project I found some cool stuff like the french subway. The Louvres subway color is yellow and the number is one. Trains in Paris there are two different banks the louvre is on the left bank (Rive Gauche). During this project I learned a lot of new things like vocabulary, information and more. I can’t wait to learn more about Paris!

Artist Statment

sierra-gridsI would like to name this piece of art Grid self portrait because to draw these I used a grid. I created this work of art by following the grid and copying as best I could. One thing I learned by doing this project was how to use a grid. I also learned how to draw eyes better. My favorite part of this project was adding the different colors and trying to position the face correctly.  If I could change something about it I would try and be more careful with the pastels. While making this I was surprised how consistent I was. Something else I would like to share is I had a really good time playing with the different techniques
