This was the original Apprentice Artbook that I had created. Somewhere along the line, I confused myself thinking that this artist book would be in fact on our own stories. Unfortunately, I was wrong, but I still feel as though I should have included this since it is a step in the right direction. This helped me get somewhat of an idea of what I want to do on my Final Artbook at the end of the semester.

After realizing that I had done the wrong story this is my second attempt at the Apprentice Artist book. To be honest I am a lot happier with the second one mostly due to my use of colors. The colors in this story really pop out and I used them to make certain points in the story shine through more than others. I chose Everything is Far From Here due to its heavy background. It also helped that this story was full of imagery and thoughtful writing. I chose red white and blue for my pages throughout to signify that this is in fact happening in the United States of America. I chose to put in other colors or pictures to contrast the color of the background and also to give key points of what was going on throughout the story. Two key points of imagery that I used to signify key points in the story were, the box and the American flag and truck. On the page refering to the the box shows powerful imagery because she feels so alone in this tiny box that seems to be shrinking around her, she doesnt have much hope left. The page with the american flag cape and the old ford truck were to signify the old american views such as prejudice and racism, unfortunately we still deal with this problem in our country every day. I definetely think some of my artwork or creativity could have been a little better. Also I am awful at drawing people so usualy they will end up being stick figures… No shame.
