The San Francisco Zoo was kind enough to bring several animals to my art class for us to examine, photograph, paint, and draw. From this visit, we were assigned to create two separate projects.
This painting was a close up of a Tortoise's shell. I first took a close-up photo of the tortoise in which the shell began to look somewhat like volcanoes. I first sketched it, then painted within the sketch with black acrylic paint. To get the orange background, I added the color in the iPad app, PhotoForge2. This painting shows elements such as shape and space. The principles within it are unity, emphasis, depth, and contrast. (*The tortoise's name was Tim.)
I used photography in this piece of a small alligator. I used the app Color Splash to carefully bring out the color in just the alligator. This photo shows color contrast, texture, unity, balance, and emphasis.
(*His name was Miles)
