rough draft 

inspiration 

final draft

Description: In this piece i decided to do the quote “every rose has its thorns just like every night has its dawn”. i did the words thorn and dawn in a bold font and the rest of the words a less bold cursive font. the background is radiant from dark to light. for the visuals representing the quote i drew rose thorns on a stem with a rose petal to the left. For the night part of the quote i drew a moon with stars to the left of that, and a rising sun representing dawn.

analysis: one principle of design in the piece is emphasis. there is emphasis on the quote because it is darker and more bold than the background and so is the lettering. there is also contrast between the light and dark of the background . there is more contrast also between the subjects of the piece where it’s more of a dark and sad subject then it turns into a light and happy subject.

interpretation: this piece symbols that everything bad in love will eventually turn out better. every situation that may seem dark and sad will always into something great in the end. there is always a end to the night that isn’t good and there will always be a thorn in something so pretty and beautiful like a rose.

judge: i really like the meaning of this piece. it is very inspiring and it encourages you to not dwell on the bad things in life and feel like whatever bad is happening that it will always have an ending and will be good in the end. i also really like my drawings of the interpretation of the quote with the drawings of the rose and stars most importantly.

behind the quote: this quote is from a band called poison from there song “every rose has its thorn”
