My three choices of material that I used for the two small works were wood, colored pencils, and charcoal. I used plywood as my background and did an observation on the grain of the wood and how it produced a kind of background. So I wanted to use most of the natural material and I drew a statue and gate in my front yard and placed them in the foreground while the wood grain projected the background.

For this piece, I used the wood grain to construct the art work by following the grain and made a drawing based on the natural material.
