Title: Burning Their Homes

WidthxHeight: 8"x5"

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 how our society is effecting the environment. The story can be seen within the foxes tail, showing the forest burning while the city lay peacefully behind it all. The environment is shown to be in the shape of a city while the foxes tail is burning along with the forest.

The subject of my work is a fox. The piece was made with pen and marker on drawing paper. I worked on this throughout my work study periods but even then, I hardly had any time to work on it. So I ended up making it smaller so I could worry less about detail.

I used color, form, texture and space in this piece. I am kind of happy with how fire in the tail 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 shape of the fox, I'm really proud of that. 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.
