My painting "Sheets and Shadows" shows two ghosts in front of school lockers. I created it for my art class as part  of our "Spooky Paintings" project, which was inspired by Halloween. I used a photo I took at school -where another girl and I are dressed as ghosts- as a reference. As an aid, I first drew a sketch of my painting on the canvas and then continued working with acrylic paints. In this picture, I intentionally placed the two ghosts very close together because I feel it represents friendship very well. Furthermore, I find the lockers in the background very fitting, since they only exist in the USA and not in my previous school in Germany, and with them and the ghosts in front, I can show how well I've been welcomed at this new school. It was my first time basing my artwork on a picture I had made myself. Because of that, the final piece feels more like I've painted something unique.
