blog post #5 part 1

when i first started this piece i experimneted alot. i started off with painting the polar bear in grey, blue, black and white mono tone color. i began to realize that i was using to much paint at once so the peice would not blend with other colors. i decieded to change the style up and dry brush the painting. i deiceded to do a background that had a dark sky with lightning in the background. i came to realize that the background did not mash up wit the piece, it was not moving people eyes around the page so i decided to turn back to my original plan and put a sunset in the background of the piece and it came out nicely.
i thinjk the final pioece moves the viewers eye around the page and also leaves the viewer questioning and wondering what the piece is about. although, the piece keeps the viewer questioning and wondering after putting two & two together (the sunset and the polar bear) the viewer will eventually see what i am trying to convey through the piece.

1) In the beginning i decided to make my piece on global warming. i never had an initial piece that i wanted to specifically do. so i did research on global warming and found out the most impacted animal from global warming is polar bears. so i decided to make a piece of a polar bear that would be heart warming to the on lookers.

2) So far i have come across two main challenges. the first one was trying to make my piece look like a realistic cartoon. i was very challenged in this area i did not know how to make it looked cartoony but real. i had to get allot of help from teachers an advice from the kids in my class. my second challenge was my background, to make it look warm so i played around with two backgrounds one blue but the background did not look warm so i changed it to a sunset

Pictures will be posted as soon as i find the link.
