Jim Kittel - "Monday Afternoon "

WINNER

High School: Lawrence High School

Art Instructor: Wendy Vertacnik

I drew a grid on the paper before starting the drawing. This gives a more architectural aesthetic to the piece. Also I charged the paper with charcoal dust in order to utilize an eraser for mark making.

) I chose this piece because I believe it create a mood. It is relaxing and reminds me of a summer afternoon. I believe the color pallet of browns adds to the mood and feel of the piece. I also like the contrast between the straight, crisp lines of the house, compared to the somewhat blurry and sketchy lines used for the surrounding foliage.
