Donate Life

Be the Hero

7"x9"

The subject of my creation is showing how the cape brightened up when someone donated with Organ and Tissue donation. I chose to create this because the I wanted show how someone is impacted through Organ and Tissue donation, like their whole life has changed. I also wanted to use acyclic because it's bright and I wanted people to be drawn to my artwork.

I made this piece by first drawing both faces with a 6B pencil, then going back in with acrylic paint over the pencil marks. I did this project backwards, so I painted the word before doing the background, so it took longer. I had to keep going over the yellow and red to make sure they were not transparent to the paper.

Throughout this project, I used color and contrast by using many colors to represent the positive message being spread, while also using darker tones to break up the message. There is a clear contrast between the colors I chose, to show what organ and tissue donation will do for someone else. Before I started I was thinking about doing a puzzle, representing different ways how organ and tissue donation affects others, but instead I chose to do a hero theme, making my message more clear. My next step in this project would be to continue to work on blending the blue because it was hard to get around the letters.
