Artist Statement

My scientific value panel displays a sense of calmness and fluidly depicts an ocean theme throughout the panel. I wanted to allow one to become visually intrigued with the ocean undersea. I seek to display an enlargement of an organism from nature while also displaying its habitat. I succeeded in doing so by focusing on the three sections, (macrocosm, microcosm, and the golden mean). My inspiration came from the “Finding Nemo” movie, in which I was able to create a enclosing tunnel of flames, fish underneath the ocean, with a flowing jellyfish. This project has allowed me to heighten my creativity in the area of abstraction. By using the value scale from light to dark, it was a helpful tool in making a contrast of dark and light shadows that ultimately appealed to the viewer.

Scientific value panel

Hey ladies, so I'm posting my process of the scientific value panel. It was a bit challenging at first with figuring out where I wanted to place certain values but I believe it came out successfully! I have to say that I'm not one who's a painter but after working on this project, I have to say that I enjoyed it.
