pros and cons of dancing


For my glass half full drawing I drew two pictures of the pros and cons of dancing. The first picture I drew was a picture of a dancer with a broken leg. This shows something bad that can happen when you are dancing. I drew a girl in a leotard and a skirt with a boot on her leg and crutches under her arms. The leotard and skirt symbolize the dancer while the boot and the crutches show how she is injured. In the background I put a ballet bar and a picture of a dancer in the air to emphasize the fact that she is a dancer and wants to be able to get up and dance. In this drawing I used a lot of contrast to make the dancer stand out. I drew the background in pencil so that it would be lighter than the charcoal i used to make the dancer. Also the dancer is a lot larger than the background she is in front of. The second picture I drew was a picture of a dancer on stage dancing in front of an audience. I showed how happy she was to be up there by putting a smile on her face. I made her larger than everything else on the page for contrast to make her stand out. The curtain in the background is also drawn by pencil to make it lighter. At the bottom of the stage I drew a bunch of circles to look like peoples heads. All of those circles are repetition flowing from one side of the page to the other.
