Piece 5

The well known sport of horse racing is overlooked by many. Behind closed doors, horses aren't treated the way you think they are. From the movie War Horse and Secretariat. For reference, I watched several races to see how they perform on and off the track. By using pencils, I was able to show the texture of the dirt when running. By adding the colored pencils, the value had darkened. There are multiple messages in this piece. I showed that drugs are pumped in order for them to perform the way the owner wants them to. Another message is that people bet on these horses. When pumping the drugs, that makes it so that the owner gets the money for it.

Quarter 1 Value Project My master artist is Michelangelo. I used his "Head of a Young Man" as an I idea on how to shade the human features. The way he uses soft shading, makes the portraits look more lifelike and realistic. The way he draws the person from the side also helped me to understand the shading area of the face. My current artist is Michelle Cox. I used her various portraits of present day people to try can help me understand the human features and how they can be made to look realistic. Her technic of dark shading makes the picture pop on top of a light colored background. Describing:  My project is of a soccer player named Harry Kane. The object next to him is England.

   With this art piece, I made this as the first of my theme because I thought it would be the easiest to recognize. With this, I did a scarier version of the classic movie The Fox and the Hound. My whole theme is to take famous animal movies and do a horrible twist with them to show the meaning of animal cruelty. With this I made the fox and the hound the opposite then what they are in the movie. I'm not done with the full piece but I am happy with this being my first piece because I know I can grow from this.   With this project, I wanted to go all out on this. With my inspiration on the idea of circus animals not being treated as well as you think. Sticking to my idea of taking classic movies and changing the, I thought of the movie Dumbo being the perfect fit. I chose to do the composition I did to show the circus around him and I was going to make sure he looked sad and unhappy like all animals in the circus do. With this one, I'm not going as rea...

With my piece starting to become more and more realistic, I needed to make sure that my pieces created the messages I needed to portray. When you see the shows of all the animals, you never see to realize how they live. No one understand the struggles they have. In most whale and dolphin shows, they are forced to perform. They are given many drugs and even harmed in order to entertain the public. With these animals being used to the open ocean, they are confined to such small spaces which can cause many health issues. Over time, these creatures die due to the conditions they are "cared" in. This has diminished the population of these beautiful creatures.
