Donate Life

The ideas that are visually evident in this work is redemption and salvation. The story behind this is that we had to create a piece for a competition to advocate for organ and tissue donation, and had to come up with a unique call to action. This work relates to my life because I really like creating art of animals and creatures, so that is what I incorporated.

The materials I used were watercolor colored pencils, a black ink pen, and a silver ink pen. This is on bristol board.

The process I used to create this work was sketching out the bird and letters, then I did a gradient with watercolor pencils, and then added water, waited for it to dry, then filled in the words. I also added the silver dots. My project evolved when I added finer dots closer to the wings and tail. My next steps could be to make the smaller fonts more visible or possibly add some color to the dove. I could also do some shading on the dove.
