The border has all of my favorite things to do. People that draw/drew self portraits include Leonardo Da Vinci, Claude Monet and a bunch of other talented artists.

High Relief

The high relief peace is impressionism which is an artistic way of showing an experience. The medium of the high relief is a collage. A collage is when you cut out paper from different papers and make it all into one piece, unlike paper cutting. It is a purple piece of paper that has two pieces of blue paper cut into the shapes of waves taped vertically and a purple boat on the inside of the two blue wave pieces.
