Journal Entry 2

     The focal point of this picture is the person in the center, wielding a Bo, or a staff used in martial arts. The picture is probably set in the 1600s, somewhere in China, because there are ninja-looking people dangling upside-down from bamboo shoots. Also, their clothes look like those people from ancient China would wear.  In the picture, four ninjas are descending upon the girl in the middle, but she looks calm and ready to take the challenge. The contrast of color between the mist on the forest floor, and the green scenery around it emphasizes the mysterious nature of this picture. The perspective is shown from directly in front of the girl, but also angled in a way so that the ninjas on the bamboo shoots could be seen. This gives you a view of the entire situation. One setting from my own life would be my house at night. The focal point would be me, and the time would be at 1 AM. I would be struggling desperately to complete my homework and not fall asleep, and the mood would be dull and dark.
