Donate Life

The assignment for this project was to create a picture that contained the words "organ and tissue donation" and that encouraged people to become organ donors. The subject for my creation was the people in line to donate. My piece has people of varying age, gender and race, showing that anyone can donate. This piece takes place outside of the organ and tissue donation place. I created this piece using markers, pen and colored pencils. I used the markers for large spaces that needed to be filled like the field, the pen for my message and the colored pencils for fine detail. I used a lot of color in this piece which I think enhances it.

I chose to use this certain message because I felt like it makes people want to be heroes and help. In this piece, I used a fairly high horizon line because I felt like it made the people closer to the center of the piece and because they are the focal points of my project, this was a good thing.

This project evolved from one without people to on with them. I was only going to draw the donation place and my message, but I decided that the people would improve the piece and show that anyone can help. I am glad I made this change and am overall fairly happy with my piece.
