First 2D Art Pieces: Contour Line

Analysis: I created these pieces in order to understand how to create contour lines, because as difficult as they can be, they are most helpful in griding great pieces of art. I was inspired to make the dog contour-line piece because the still-life of the dog was very detailed and seemed very challenging; And when facing a challenge I like to try my hardest, because its better to try than to never know if you could have done the project. I was inspired to make the stapler contour-line piece because of the challenging curves and small details that provoked me to learn how to draw a straight line without sketching. When I created these pieces I liked the process because it introduced us to practicing contour lines, and it taught us how to sometimes divide shapes into sections to focus on the details, one certain section at a time. Some challenges that I faced with both pieces was not being able to sketch, but when I got warmed up to using contour lines, the project became simple. These pieces relate to me, because they taught me about the importance of shapes and organization, to create greatly detailed pieces of art.
