What do you see?

I see a senior sketching her favorite teddy bear. The senior is sitting in a chair and the teddy bear is placed in a little table. 

How is the work organized?

I used tungsten lighting to iluminate the set. Their is color  in the wardrobe and the teddy bear. The color pops because of the black background. Value is shown because of the lighting and creates a relaxed atmosphere.

What is the artist trying to communicate?

 The relationship of the young adult with the teddy bear. The setting represents that while she is sketching her most loving toy nothing else is more important, the darkness portrays that. The lighting is her happiness and joyfulness that she feels in that moment.

  What do you think of the work?

Yes, I liked the composition and its meaning behind it. What I would fix is her face to be more in focus.
