House No. 116: Beach House
pencil, ink, white out tape, and acrylic paint on repurposed matboard
10.75 in. x 6.5 in.
116/365; 04/26/11
I found this piece of mat board on its way to the trash* in my classroom. It was almost a finished piece without my adding to it. When I looked at it, I saw a beach landscape. I just added the details to create a house from the indications of one that I already saw there.
As I tell my students, we have to see before we can create. This is a perfect example of that.
I added the graphite, the white acrylic paint, and that one white stripe on the sand.
*Honestly, some of our students don't seem to have clue as to what they are throwing away.

This is an excellent example of that, and so pretty too!
