    For my scary house, I based it off of a house that I would always see on my way home from school when I lived in Michigan. It was in a normal neighborhood, but it was sort of set away from the rest of the houses. It was really old and creaky looking, with a few trees around it. I can't tell you what exactly made it so eerie looking, but it was. I loved that house, though. I wanted to live in it when I got older. It wasn't huge and it had lots of pointed roofs on it. This house kind of reminded me of that, so I just tried to make it look as much like my memory of that house as I could. Of course, there were no gravestones, but honestly the rest of what is in my picture resembles that house perfectly. I wish I had a little more time to work on this because I might have added some things, but even though this is kind of basic, it looks how I wanted it to.

The Story of the House in the Cornfield:
     One hundred years ago, in the middle of a cornfield, a large house was built. The house was built by an old lady, and it was said that she did it all by herself. No one knew how, but no one ever saw anybody helping her or even anyone near her house. She lived in the house for twenty years when finally her neighbors from far down the road saw two little children wandering down the road to her house. They thought to themselves, "these must be the old witch's grandchildren!". Sure enough, when the neighbors went over to welcome the children, the woman said they were indeed her grandchildren. However, they were nowhere to be seen. A week later, the police showed up in the town asking if two little children had been seen wandering around anywhere. The townspeople said that the witch's grandchildren had shown up and went to her house. When the police went to her house, there were no children, but they found the clothes of the kids that had been there and their bodies buried underneath an old tree in the backyard. As it turns out, the witch had put the children under her spell and lured them to her house to eat for dinner. The remains of the children still rest in the old, abandoned cornfield to this day.

With background and name


  Something in this project that I made sure of was that I had good RESOLUTION. It's important to do so because it affects whether or not your picture is blurry, if things go together well and overall if your creation looks good. The better the resolution, the less pixels you will be able to see. A problem I had was with the satellite from the Millenium Falcon was that it was very pixely, but I fixed it by finding a larger image of it.
