1. Up close and Personal was our theme. How did you develop your ideas for this project and why did you choose your subject? i chose to draw an orange to show how the inside of an orange looks and how up close it is.

2. How did you demonstrate Emphasis in your work? i showed a lot of emphases the way the orange is placed and the way the table is seen so you can see emphasis 

3. What medium did you decide to use and why did you choose this medium over the others? Discuss how it enhances your piece. i used prismacolors for my medium. i feel like with prismacolor is shows more texture
