My first cityscape I think was kind of sloppy my lines and colors could have used some work but other than that I think that it was great. For the first time though I think I did good. I had some extra time so I added the Mickey Mouse on one of the buildings.

This was pretty successful but it could have been better but I think the lines could use some work but other than that it came out successful.

The vanishing point. The vanishing point is where it fades away depending on how any you have.

A technique where little tiny dots are used to make art. I used something similar to pointillism in my project.

4. What were the Impressionist painters accomplishing by using Pointillism?

They were making history by making new art. They showed us a whole new way of making art. They succeeded because we are using it today.

I see a bunch of swirly lines and a great combination of colors and the moon in the sky along with stars.
