This is my first digital arts Photoshop project. I started with a picture of the background and then added buildings and a picture of Dora on the side of the lake. I added trees in front of the buildings and Dora to make it look more realistic. I also added reflections of the buildings and the trees in the water. In this project, I used emphasis, proportion, pattern, harmony, and balance. Dora shows emphasis and proportion because I made her larger than a human would usually be. The reflection of the buildings in the water shows pattern because it is the same image as on top of the water, but altered a little to make it look like a reflection. The buildings show balance because even though not all of them are the exact same size, they are all scaled the same. This project shows harmony because everything is around the edge of the lake in a semi-circle. Overall, this project shows many elements of design.

Art Value Chart
In this photo I am using the technique hatching. The technique hatching is making lines in one direction. If I were to continue with this value chart I would add three more techniques. The next technique I would use is cross hatching. Cross hatching is making lines in two different directions. Another technique I would add is stippling. Stippling is basically making dots on the paper. For my value chart I used sharpie for this technique. The last technique I would use is random marks. Random marks is exactly what it sounds like random marks. I used the letter E when making my random marks, but other people used circles, or swirly lines.
