The space I have chosen is under the kitchen table. When I was a kid, my brother and I would throw blankets and quilts over the kitchen table to construct a fort. My intent for this project is to create an image of that, but take it a step further by creating the imaginary, jungle world that the table fort became when I climbed under it.
It took me a while to get started on the actual piece; I made drawings of the table, took pictures, and built a fort with blankets and quilts. I also sketched a lot of plant life to aid in creating my jungle world. Now that I've started, things are moving along pretty well. I got stuck after about a day. Fortunately, we had an in-class critique and I got some excellent feedback from my peers. Here is what it looked like before:
The suggestions: establish a ground plane; correct the perspective; need a signifier that it's a table, perhaps with a table setting on top, or details in the legs. After taking these things into consideration, I began working on it again, and this is what it looks like now:
After changing the perspective, it looks more like a table. I've still got some editing to do on the table, but at least it looks more like a table now. I still need to establish a ground and then start building up the flora. And I've got to do it in 2 weeks.

You'll have to put the final product on here, it seems as though it will turn out quite nicely.
