Kia ora Shawn,
ReplyDeleteGood effort to answer all the questions about your initial responses to street art in Christchurch. I agree that the eyes are the focal point in the mural that you chose. Good observation. Why do you think the artist has made the lower part of the head appear as if it were underground? Are the eyes symbolic? Keep thinking about this work as you work on the tonal drawing.
