Artist Statement (what elisabet55 said about their artwork)
This work displays a raccoon on recycled paper. Colored pencils and 7x9" recycled paper were used to create it. In order to create this piece, a sketch was done on recycled paper to figure out the composition.Then, the final idea was applied onto a new piece of recycled paper where color was applied. The raccoon was chosen for this piece's subject because they are very cute and have unique features.
About this School Project (Repurposed Book)
Pages from discarded or damaged books will be used to transform a page into a work of Art.
Realistic zoo animal images that were 1st done as thumbnails in the sketchbook were drawn. Composition, different angles (upclose or crop a section) that may grab attention were suggested. A practice sheet to test concepts, color, choice, materials, composition, etc.was used prior to a good study. For the final study, have a page from the discarded dictionary that relates to animal, such as chosen animal goldfish-dictionary page Koi, fish, goldfish, etc.
