art

In art we have been working on Michael Mew inspired media art. 

I think to improve my work next time I could figure my layout first and choose more of a style.

My focal point is the yellow flowers because they pop out  more than with all the dull colours around.

My leading lines are the yellow pant and the line from the very top near the mouth to down where the line stops at the bottom.
