Week- Finals (Abandoned OZ)

Original

"half -way" done

Final Version

Brushes

The title of my piece is "Abandoned OZ". 

Concept: This is how I would imagine an abandoned building in OZ might look like if it were abandoned. The green is sparse, and it's dreary.

Craft: I used my own brushes and 4 pictures provided by Nate to create this image. The yellow brick road was created using biscuits! I used layers of the brushes to create a "cartoon" version of this collage, and then I added in a few made-up details like rain and mudd puddles and grass. I used the eraser and the magic wand tool to make the shapes correct. The brushes I used include a rasinets pack as brick, and a star of david for the clouds!  I used color to represent space and time rather than using shadow effects.

Composition: I set up the picture to have an obvious foreground featuring the yellow brick road and a very separate sky. the building is slightly to the left so that the yellow brick road can be extended at an angle. I originally was going to include keys into the picture, but it was throwing it off balance so it ultimately din't work compositionally and was left out.
