Sustained Investigation #11

Google for Doodle

7.75" x 5.75"

The story behind this piece is about google and their message for kids to create and make people happy with your art. I knew I wanted to do something with picking up trash from the land. This project relates to my life because this is this is a very relevant topic in society and it is a huge concern all around.

I made this with surfers and trash in the ocean. So I added two surfers a sun, sea lion, two fish, a dirty beach ball, a big wave. I used crayons and gel pen and also a 4H graphite pencil to sketch everything out. I also tested out the crayons and how to blend them to prepare myself more for the project.. I wanted it to look more abstract than the standard logo.

I used line and grouping in this project. I used line in the big wave to add movement. I also used grouping with all of the subjects to make the logo. Next time if I do this again, I think I might use a different material and add more contrast in value and add more detail to make it stronger.
