Here is the Artefact I created for my theme of Gothic Architecture.
I chose to focus on stained glass when researching the topic of Gothic Architecture. To achieve this look, I placed transparent red gift wrap over my illustration which was done on tracing paper. I used candles to illuminate the scene and give a dramatic feel. I like the red and black combination, although I do believe my project would have worked better if I used blues and yellows for the window as well. Also, I wasn’t sure how to make the letters visible using regular paper which is why I used the same technique of writing on tracing paper and using a light source. The letters could’ve been a little bolder and adding a background would have helped. I drew on the black paper with grey pastel to imitate stones, but it wouldn’t show up on camera since the photo had to be dark. Overall, I like the concept I had but I think my execution could have been a little stronger.
