Breadth #5

OK, I admit that this is one of the stranger projects I've done in a while. The only way I can explain it is to tell you that my goal this week was to create a piece that conveyed a message to the viewer. I citra-solved an image of an atomic bomb mushroom cloud in the distance and created a scene in which a small bird is looking off at the devastation. In his mind, it is doubtful that he senses much danger, for the cloud resembles the simple mushrooms beside him. But it's ironic because this seemingly innocent cloud will destroy habitats, creatures, and humans. So there is my little anti-neucleur weapon speech. Anyways, I created the foreground with bunched up paper towels which I watercolored and drew on with markers. I created the bird, mushrooms, and vegetation with cut paper which I drew on top of with markers. This piece still needs some work, but I think it is interesting.

Concentration #12

It's refreshing to post my final concentration piece :). I had fun with this one and I feel that it is a good piece to end my concentration with. The radiation structure is interesting because the center point is located in the top corner as opposed to the center of the composition and I love the colors and patterns that resulted. With this final piece I included doodles, ribbons, fabric, netting and even paper towel that I had cleaned my paint brushes with. The colors and composition create a very joyful and bright mood. Although I plan to continue my work on this piece, I am proud of how it turned out.
