Lantern

This lantern has taken the most time to complete out of all of my art projects. I have worked hard on it and I'm proud of how it turned out. The season I'm depicting is winter and although the tree on my lantern is silent its still living and the face shows that the branches are growing like thoughts. My lantern shows that just because someone is silent doesn't mean that they are not thinking. I'm proud of my lantern and it is currently being used as a lamp shade in art class. Even when my design became somewhat unconventional and tedious i stuck to my original idea and I'm glad i didn't give up and simplify my lantern.
