Donate Life

I’m calling this project, Donate Life because it’s for the donate life competition. The subject is a princess and a wand. I chose to create this specific work because I wanted it to be a child friendly PSA to inspire people to consider organ and tissue donation. When I was creating this I had a princess and sparkle theme in mind.

For materials, I used paint pens and sharpie. I used paint pens as a material because I wanted the silver and bronze shimmer colors. I used a variety of techniques and methods including: making patterns and using contrast. While creating this work, I paid close attention to detail by adding designs and stars onto the drawing. I wanted my artwork to look simple and I did that by not adding a background. To add interest to my composition, I added a wand.

I like the way it looks and I am proud of the message. However, I struggled with adding the text. If I created another work like this I may paint it. My work shows that I learned how to send a message through my artwork.
