Giraffe
11x6
colored pencil crayon and watercolor
The main idea that guided my artwork was how I could connect the words with a picture. At first when I started thinking I thought of a giraffe. I thought that I could tie in the words and the picture to make it look cool and fun while having a meaning and symbol.
I made the work by using crayons for the giraffe body. I like using crayons especially when I am making an animal. The reason why is because I think they add detail and texture depending on how hard you press. For the tree I used colored pencil because I didn't want it took be the same material as the sky or the giraffe, and for the sky I used water color because I like the smooth background it creates.
The process was pretty easy. I first had to think about how I would tie the words into the picture. Once I did that I thought about the materials I would use and then I started making it.
