Title: Ship Wrecked

WidthxHeight: 12"x4"

For this project, we had to follow our question. Mine was changed to "How can we balance the environment with a story?" The story itself has to do with the ship under the water. What exactly happened for the ship to be under water? Why is there a skull there as well? The environment is shown to be an ocean scene with different fish and plants.

The subject of my work is an old boat. The piece was made with paint pens on regular 12"x9" paper. This piece was kind of a pain because I worked on it throughout college classes but I'm happy with the result. I created an environment and then balanced a story with it.

I used color, form, texture and space in this piece. I am kind of happy with how the texture and detail came out. I wish I could have added more detail and stuff to the background but I don't and will not have any time to work on it. My favorite part is the plants, especially the ones in the left right corner. Obviously, everything isn't perfectly straight considering I didn't have any measuring things to use while making it, but I guess that's okay.
