Spring 2020
As above so below
Artist Statement:
For this project I got inspired by the tininess of an ant. How small ants were. I wondered how they saw the world around them. Thats when I thought of a jungle. How trees are big for us, but how big were they for ants. Lastly, how big were animals to them. In this project I made grass and leaves at the bottom that were how I imagined. I made trees that bent so that they looked like the were taller than usual. Followed by the leaves for the trees. My focal point was a monkey climbing to the top. The background was a blue sky. For the bottom grass I used a purple,dark green, and light blue oil pastel. For the trees I used a black, dark brown, and light brown oil pastel. For the leaves I use light green, dark green, and white oil pastel. Lastly for the sky I used a dark blue, light blue and white oil pastel. I think this art work was a great way to experience other materials besides paint.At the end of this I was very proud of myself because this is my first real original artwork I cam up with.
