Royal River Watershed brown trout

The brown trout: 8 by 7 ½

Project Goals:

• To use art in raising awareness of the flora & fauna located in the Royal River watershed

• To learn about artists who work with animals as their subjects, (specifically, working Maine ceramic artist, Tim Christensen, and wildlife artist and Maine Master Naturalist Michael Boardman);

• To become acquainted with basic ceramic vocabulary;

• To learn about and find inspiration in the highly patterned art (alebrijes) from Oaxaca, Mexico;

• To form and paint a low relief ceramic tile that contains both imagery of a species of your choice and an indication of the systems around it which promote that species’ survival.

I am helping respond the question by showing the important part of the fish and its life. I have eggs, river grass, water, bird talons, and dot pattern on the fish. I think the water patterns and the eggs / bugs really represent the important thing about the fish and show why we need to protect them.

Analogous, I used green, green blue, blue, and blue-purple They fit analogous with the colors next to each other. I think my color fit the way I wanted them to fit on and off the fish. I would place the patterns in different places.

I chose brown trout, I chose this animal becuae me and my dad would fish when I was younger and I thought it would fit me the best. I think its important to know about your species before painting because it helps you understand the animal you are painting about. The most important thing to keep our specits healthy and safe is to learn more abou them and know what to do to help them stay alive.
