Donate Life Design

Artist Statement

The main idea that guided this artwork was the donate life organization which works toward finding participants for tissue and organ donation. I wanted to make something with children or babies because people are more inclined emotionally to help others when children are involved.

The materials I used for this piece of art was sharpie and colored pencil on bristol board paper. I chose these because I wanted it to be fun colored and I feel like I have more experience with colored pencil. I used the sharpie for bold outlines so that they were easier to see.

The process I went through while creating this artwork was first deciding what I was going to use as a front image on the actual artwork. I had a few ideas, but in the end I chose the child with the teddy bear to pull at people's heart strings. I then created my outline of the child and the bear along with the words. I chose bright colors for the actual art so that it translated that fun young energy. I then outlined all my work and was done.
