| My final mounted Scientific Panel Project |
Brief Artist's Statement:
The initial inspiration for my
scientific panel project was the bird of paradise flower. Native to Africa, the bird of paradise
propelled me to develop an African paradise theme throughout my piece. The flower became the microcosm portion of my
work. Located to the left of this is the
macrocosm section of my painting which is suggestive of an African
landscape. For the area of my panel that
focuses on the Fibonacci sequence, I took inspiration from plant life and the
natural growth patterns of vines and leaves.
When
working I sought to achieve a pleasing aesthetic quality with an overall
harmonious feeling. To adhere to the
given criteria, I incorporated many of the design elements taught to us in
class. I strived to achieve establish a
foreground, middle ground, and background.
Also, through the use of striations, an imaginary light source, and
varying values I hoped to create a sense of depth and perspective.
