Sustained Investigation #10

For this project, I wanted to capture some of why the Asian elephants have been considered endangered. The struggles they face daily with their habitat are the biggest issues are habitat loss, and illegal killing for the ivory trade.

For this project, I used watercolor paper and paints, watercolor brushes, colored pencils, and markers.

I researched why they were considered endangered. I sketched out a couple of ideas with the elephants and chose one that was best suited for what I wanted. Indian and South East Asia are the main areas where they are found so I chose a landscape that best suited my project .
