For this project I am not exactly sure what the set medium for the majority of the people was supposed to be because i know everyone was all over the place with this using primas and painting but i chose to do prismas again. The main idea for this project was that we were supposed to think of cool interior spaces and draw/paint it and/or what was inside of it and it took me a while to really come up with an idea that i would really enjoy doing and like. I started thinking about boxes and board game boxes because, obviously, that would be an interior space, and i tend to really like drawing board game paraphernalia for some reason, like the chess pieces. I remember Mrs. Rossi telling us to think OUTSIDE the box so i started thinking about the scrabble letters and how it would be cool to write some kind of message with the letters and then i thought it would be just perfect if the letters said think INSIDE the box since the letters would be placed inside the box after all. Photographing this was a bit of a challenge, i was trying to get it at a really cool angle that would give the box a cool perspective and try to make it like you really were looking right inside the box. After i sketched it out a few times, i decided that i was going to go with the toned paper from my toned sketch book because i really liked how even the colors could get on it and i think it help for the overall appearance of the seen. I think prismas might be one of my favorite mediums and i had a lot of fun with this. My favorite part was doing the tiles and trying to make them look really shaded but also look like tiles at the same time. Trying to get the actual Scrabble wording on the box was a challenge because it was hard to mock the actual font from the real box, and it was kind of an awkward creamish yellow. One thing i would like to go back and do is add a shadow to the bottom of the box reflecting o the background of the project because i think that aspect of the project looks really flat.
