Sustained Investigation #3

"The Impact " (7 x 10in)

Artist Statement:

The question behind this piece is how can I use color and emphasis to show the different environmental changes. I choose to make this because I wanted to show the many different ways that the earth’s air can be polluted.

I made this piece by first sectioning it off and making the horizon line. Then painting the background, foreground, and everything else. The materials I used were acrylic paint, thin tip markers, and a ruler.

A process I used trying out different materials to see what would work best on a separate piece of paper. I think my project evolved with the rhythm of the clouds, lights on the buildings, and the smoke lines. I think my next step would be to add stars to the sky in the first section.
