For my performance art, I looked at the computer screen that had a photo of the view in front of me. With my performance, I wanted to show how people nowadays rather look at the view through a screen to either only see the good of the world or see some else view. I did have some issues because my performance is just me sitting most people just walked/drove past me with no second thought.

Original My version This is my first grid, which as you can tell I screwed up with the measuring because the squares are way to small. I figured this problem out when I started to paint the squares and they weren't lining up with the original artwork.

 I first started by sketching out all the scenes with pencil on the book to figure out how long everything should be and get the images right.  I then went and went over all the lines with a black marker so they can be seen more clearly. Lastly, I went through and added color
