I think the hardest part of making a replica of this painting is going to be making the man look crouched on his knee. The colors don't look to hard to make. And probably his chaps are going to be difficult to make. I plan to do this in water colors. I chose this peace because it reminded me of my grandpa.

For me this project was really hard get started. The only problems I had with this project was coloring it in so hard. Everyday my hand was cramped up after pressing down so hard on the pencils. I chose this theme because to me it just seemed the simplest. For as much thought as I put into it I think it turned out pretty well.

Cory Kindlle writing I chose my theme because everyone sees the US people as fat and lazy. We can change that by making kids get off the couch and go do things out side. Video games are only for rainy days. Kids never ask when they can learn to use the chain saw; they ask when they are going to get the latest game system. I had a pretty easy time getting the background to look how I wanted it to. The color I found to be difficult. It was hard to limit my pallet to just a few colors. My figure came out pretty good I think. The facts were the hardest part to find. I think they were hard to find because people don’t want their kids out side working anymore. I believe my figure gets the point across pretty well. It shows the impression that kids need to start playing out side more and to stay off of video games. I know there is a lot of jobs with computers and electronics but nothing can shape a man like cutting wood and being out side. There is so much more to the world than just video games. The artist is trying to tell me that the world is being polluted. There is a lot of people working to pollute the world. The skeleton is the death that pollution is causing. The artist used a limited pallet of colors. He or she used black, reds, brown, blue, green, and a hint of yellow. The artist looks on the dark side of things but always knows that there is light at the end of the tunnel. I believe this to be a successful peace of art work. It says a bold message and gets the message across just fine.
