African Culture Art
This artwork displays bright red, blue, and yellow on snug strapless dresses and turbans. The black bodies with the colored dresses give good contrast and puts lots of emphasis on the colors. This painting is a representation of African art which started around 500BC as cave art and developed into these beautiful paintings of woman. I think this art was successful with representing African art especially with the detail on the dresses and turbans that make it look folded.
 Greek Inspired Clay Pot

The pot is a rust color with black edges and handles and a Greek pattern on the top half. The color used is very close to the color that was used on most pots and the pattern really makes it a Greek pot. The pot is inspired from Greece during the classical period during the Golden Age. I think the pot accurately resembles the pots made however if the pot was bigger and smoother it would look better.

Stone Age Cave Art
This art shows Rhinoceroses running away from hunters, similar to cave art. The painting uses a rust or brown color with textured paper and black spears chasing the Rhinos. The art is trying to portray a common image drawn on caves during the stone age. The painting looks like cave art however if more detail was added to the Rhinos it would appear more accurate.
Sketching my candle
There is a candle with darker shading away from the light source and lighter shading towards it. The shading helps it become more realistic and it gives it depth. This artwork id trying to portray a candle in real life using shading and realistic qualities. I feel the shading could have been done a little better if it went lower than the candle I think it would look more accurate.
