Describing the environment features

The apartment building where majority of my story takes place is a multi-purpose building. There are one and two bedroom apartments on the top four floors of the building and medium size studios that are  for artists and business owners on the first three floors. The artist’s studio is on the third floor on the back side of the building that has the fire escape just outside his back windows. The little boy and mother live on the sixth floor on the back side of the building as well. I will be highlighting three of the main environments and the traits and characteristics of them.

Artist’s studio - Minimal and bland (this is strictly the artists working space, he doesn’t live here but will stay the night if he feels like it.)

• No plants

• Metal trash can

• Paint tarps draped all over

• Painting easel

• Dozens of canvas’ (painted and unpainted)

• Table with all the paint supplies on it

Little boy & mother’s apartment - Feels like home (Despite their financial situation, the mother does her best to keep everything in their apartment looking nice. Some items are beginning to show signs of wear.)

The Shed on the rooftop - Utility shed converted into an artist studio by the little boy (This shed has become a make shit studio for the little boy to work in and he puts up all of his doodles on the walls.)

• Made out of random scraps of wood and dry wall

• Roof is constructed out of random sheets of metal, mostly corrugated aluminum

• Little boy’s drawing table constructed out of  plastic milk crates and a checker board mounted on top of them (How he learns to draw straight lines by using the black and white squares.)

That’s all I’ve got for right now! Be back later.
