Winter

Winter

Freezes over

The leaves that

Lay on the ground

Winter

My inspiration behind this poem is the changes that happen during winter.  This is a cinquain poem every line adds a word but the last line only has one word. The elements in this poem are repetition,  line breaks. I don’t like the rhythm of this poem because it is really choppy and hard to read.

 A Blanket of Night

The flowing river

alters its tune

to a small whisper

as the warm

specked lights grow bigger

They are the stars

reflecting on the water

creating a blanket of night

At first this poem was a haiku but there was more I wanted to add so I changed it from a haiku. The elements found in this poem are line breaks, imagery, metaphors. I really like this poem because of the way it creates an image in my head and the description.

I would like to name that piece “NYC Sunset”

I created this piece of art by beginning with the backdrop. I really wanted to show want a NYC Sunset looked like so I painted a sunset and the water. Then using the map I cut out a skyline. Some of the things I learned while making the piece of work is how to transition between colors especially in watercolors. My favorite part of this piece is the sunset and the way I showed how things get farther by making the map darker the farther back they were. If I could change something about it, it would be the map cuts. I think when I cut the map I could have cut it in a more neat way. While making it I was surprised that I didn’t second guess myself. In some other projects I have taken a longer time because I second guessed myself this time I just stuck to the original plan.
