Jade's Pre-drawing =Jade Environmental Figures= Jades Social Issue I chose this piece because when I was little I loved angels and fairies, since then I have kind of grown out of that but I still like them. Another reason I picked this piece was because the figure is all black and I loved that it had no detail there and I loved how the background make it pop out. One of the things I figured I'd have problems with would be the tree and grass. Final piece Some of the problems I had with this was the wings on the angel, grass, tree and the sky! But I kept working on it and finally got it. Another thing that was a little challenging was the sky, It was a little hard to make all the different shades of yellow miss for the sunrise, but after awhile I figured it out, and the 3D look was challenging too. Some things I would change if I could would be the tree and the clouds!! Also I think I would have blended parts of the sky differently! I do think this is a successful piece of art though, because as much as this work caused me stress I tried my hardest on it and I'm overall happy about the project its self.

Final writing

~In the picture there seems to be the main focus of the lion and the chess bored in front of him. Another focus would be the pillars in the background and the bull as well. Then they’re is all the little things going on like the faces in the lions ribs and the cloud, the hand holding the telephone and “Weights” Under the phone. I think though that the painting has to do with issues all over the world. ~ One example of issue around the world would be the issues in Africa shown by the outlining of Africa and the lion. The lion upfront is pretty skinny looking and one issue in Africa is the hungry of a lot of its people. The lion looks dirty and hungry showing the things they face there are hard, food may not be an option of some of the people and bathing isn’t either. ~ Another thing that shows an issue around the world would be the Statue of Liberty on the chessboard and the statue of Queen Elizabeth. Them pieces symbolizes the differenced between Great Britain and America. We used to be ruled by them and now we are our own country and we are different. The firing in between them is showing that we are separate. Also the globe that is a little higher and George Washington’s head under the telephone shows how much we’ve progressed in technology since that time. ~ Last the bull in the middle with the guy looking thing with a fridge looking stomach is showing the Asian culture. The bull is looking weak and hurt and maybe that’s the way their culture is going as well. Also the guy figure with the fridge looking stomach, that stomach fridge looks pretty empty, maybe their starting to have problems with loss of food as well. ~ I think it’s an interesting painting with a lot going on and it has many different ways of being looked at. I think it is a successful piece; I might like it a little better though if I really knew what was going on. Over all it has a lot of neat features and characteristics to it.
