For my capstone project I used the prompts system and perception/distortion. When I think of system I think of an ecosystem with moving parts that work together. I illustrated system by showing the relationship between a butterfly and a flower and how they benefit each other in an ecosystem. To incorporate the perception/distortion theme, I decided to use a basic background in order to highlight the butterfly and flower. I also made them large to distort how they are seen in real life. I wanted to show them as a big system rather than just a pretty animal. The flower was inspired by Van Gogh’s sunflowers and I used bright colors in the foreground to further emphasize the butterfly and flower against a washed out background.
I love how you made the butterfly's pattern so neat with various shapes of the ovals and circles. The shading is also really good in the butterfly's wings, showing how one is in front of the other one. Making the background white was a great choice as it makes the butterfly and flower the emphasis of the piece.
ReplyDeleteI really like how simple you made both the butterfly and there flower. Immediately I jumped to pollination. Also I think one of the best things you did in this piece was to keep the background white. It puts a lot more emphasis on the butterfly and flower than if there were a background.
