Sustained Investigation #4

I’m calling this project, A call to action because it is a project that brings awareness to the environmental damage being done in our world. I chose to create this specific work because I was inspired by one of the bell ringers to have bring awareness to global warming and environmental issues which is what I hope to continue to do in my pieces. When I was creating this I had a thought-provoking idea in mind.

For materials, I used watercolor, colored pencil, sharpie, and marker. I used the watercolor to make accents, colored pencil to write the words and the plant and shaper to outline it. I used a variety of techniques and methods including: outlining and calligraphy. While creating this work, I paid close attention to making sure that the plant weaved in and out of the letters. I wanted my artwork to be a call to action and I did that by telling the world that our environment needs protecting.

I like the way the plant looks. However, I struggled with all the different fonts. I decided to weave the plants in and out of the words because I thought it would give a cool effect. If I created another work like this I may see different fonts. My work shows that I learned how to make a piece of work from that brings attention to an important topic.
