In art, we started to work on our murals that we'll be creating this term. The theme was surrounding resilience and we could do it on an object or thing that is either strong but fragile or strong but powerful. We brainstormed ideas that fit into these categories. I'm working in a team with Genica and Tamara. Last week we spent some time but practising drawing one of the objects by using a reference.
I chose to do a (baby) sea turtle and did it because it's a survival of the fittest for them from the moment their eggs hatch. Very few sea turtles actually make it to adulthood because there are so many threats to their species. Because of that, I think that they are very resilient animals. Genica chose to do roots and Tamara did a tree.
Then we moved on to doing thumbnail sketches as a form of planning for our mural. I thought it would be best to add the three ideas together - the sea turtle, roots and the tree - so we could all have an input in the design. The layout that worked the best (in my opinion) was to have a sea turtle under the sea with the roots of a tree connect to the tree (a willow tree was my reference) on the shell.
Last night I sketched it digitally because I prefer to do digital art rather than on paper. I didn't feel like colouring it nicely, it was a sketch anyway, so I just kinda chucked down a watercolour brush and blended it together.
Here is the idea I came up with:
