Fight or flight
Final Project and Artist Statement:
For this project I began with a photo by Steve McCurry. It was a very powerful image of a child holding a gun and I started by transferring it onto a piece of wood. Then when I was waiting on the transfer to finish I began drawing a mandala centered around the image. When I first finished the image transfer there were a lot of pieces of the image that peeled off completely. To fix that I put another transfer of the same image over top and then filled in some of the shadows with a pen. Then I took India ink and added these shadows and smudges and to finish gave a shodowy outline with a white paint pen. I enjoyed working on this project and I think the outcome is a very powerful piece.
