Fourth Sketch Book Assignment

Juxtaposition 

Two things that are placed closely together which contrast each other.

With this sketch I chose to contrast the bird on where it can't be and how it's there. For this assignment I used value, space, and shape. Since I use graphite pencils in all or many of my sketches I tend to use value to show the different shades. For space, I have the foreground of the bird and the sign, the middle ground of the lighthouse and rocks, and the background of the ocean horizon. Finally with shape I used both geometric and organic. Geometric for the design of the lighthouse and the sign and organic for the rocks.
