To kill a mockingbird

I have really enjoyed "To Kill a Mockingbird" so far. Harper Lee's way of writing is very intriguing. I believe Boo Radley will play a big part in the book. I loved how Scout, Jem & Dill used there imagination to make Boo seem so frightening. I also am surprised of how Miss Caroline treated Scout in front of the class, it was very humiliating. The ruler hitting as a punishment shows how different school discipline was in the 1930's compared to now.

This painting gives a mood of happiness because of the orange and yellow colors. Also it gives off a sad mood because of the blue and black on the right side. The mix of colors on the ground represents a mix of moods. The sharp lines on the trees represent a sarcastic mood.

In this drawing there there are highlights inside the mane, around the eyes, and mouth. The darks are mainly inside the mouth and around the mane. There are about 5 ranges of values.

Jake St.H

This painting gives a relaxed mood because of the blue and yellow contrast. The swirled, curved, and wavey lines all add to the mood as well.

this painting represents joy because there are multiple colors and the ,lines are very play full and care free.

Tori's Response



The moods in this picture are joy, serenity, and acceptance. The clouds give off a peaceful feeling, and the sunlight gives off a happy feeling. This is also shown because there are no sharp edges and the picture is very soft.

The mood in this painting is happy. The colors in this painting are orange and yellow which symbolize happiness. Some of the lines are also curvy which also symbolizes happiness.

Color: Multi-Color

Mood: Mixed

The picture is very vibrant and represents a multi colored nature showing a mixed feel of boredom to happiness to sadness. The picture shows a different form of reds, yellows, purples, greens, oranges and blues.

The mood this represents is boredom. It shows boredom because the lines are just very plain and the picture is all purple. It has no excitement in the photo

The mood that I am trying to show is joy and the color shows that because it is a mid tone of yellow. Also the clouds are curvy which makes the picture look more happy.
Color: yellow
Mood: joy
The shapes and lines represent joy because there's stars and stars are happy and joyful.

Assignment three: color and mood

Colors relate to moods. Example "I feel blue" means I feel sad. We just learned about Picasso's blue and rose periods.
Assignment: Find an abstract painting that relates to your mood today and then give an explanation why the colors and lines represent your mood today.
Use this chart to help decipher the color mood relationship. Note the darker the color (shade0 intensifies the mood and the lighter color ( tint) is a more subtle mood.

Brad E. dD Pencil Value Drawing

I chose this drawing because it has highlights in the eyes, light values on the forehead and cheeks, medium values along the cheek bones and on sides of the forehead, and in her facial feature such as nose and lips. Dark values are seen in the eyes and in the hair, also on the neck. It looks quite 3D.

nick's answer


Light is left side of the face
Highlights are in the hair
Dark is the right side of the face
Cast shadow is under the head
I chose this picture because it has the light values along the crease of her face, the bridge of her nose, and in parts of her yes and lips, she has dark values in her lashes, near her cheekbones and in her eyes. the different values in her hair make it look more 3-D

assignment 2

Find and post the most impressive pencil value drawing you can find from research.
The list where you see all of the light terms- highlight, light value, medium values, shadows, and cast shadows. You may be intersted in looking at illusions by M. C. Escher. I suggest searching pencil value drawings.

Ex. highlights- pupil of eye, center of lip, light value- forehead, medium- most of hair, dark value- hair, eye lid, center of lip, cast shadow- under lip
