Project 2 - Sense Of Place
Sense of place is how someone perceives an environment. For different people
its different things. For this project, we have to produce our own art work
based on this topic. It can be from our living space and or any other of our
surroundings.

Final Outcome and Rationale
Research
First I did some research on the topic to see what kind of place I would do
and what kind of mediums would be best for the ideas that I
have.
At first I had a hard time trying to understand how to present my artwork.

Process
After getting a good understanding about this topic I kind of already had a few ideas on what I was going to base this on. The first idea was basing this on the view from the apartment that I live in. I thought of this because I usually get really good sunsets here and I wanted to kind of paint the sky and sunsets are one of my favourite things in the world , though I guess it didn't have a deeper meaning to it than that.

I chose this shelf and I will explain why later in my rationale. Then I
started my sketch. I only remembered to take progress pictures after I
started painting. I wanted to include pictures where It represented the same
things. I made a watercolour painting. I didn't want to make it look too
realistic or too perfect.

Final Outcome
Rationale
For this project I wanted to produce my artwork based on something
that truly means a-lot to me. It may not seem that way by looking at it. It may seem
as if I painted a picture that I took. This is my favourite place. It is home away from home. It is not even a full space.
It is only a part of the space, yet It feels that way to me. It may
seem silly but I say this because, before I moved here, I picked out
the most important bits and pieces from home and I displayed them on
this shelf. This apartment wouldn't feel complete neither would it be a home to me with out these
things. Each one represents something. And the pictures surrounding the frame include pictures of my family and friends of my favourite moments. And that is
why this painting truly means a-lot to me.
