The art piece was one of the first ones I've done where there was a set theme we had to follow, that being said I really disliked the soft guidelines that went along with the introduction of a theme. At first, the theme really didn't connect with me, I just couldn't figure out a way to display The Upside of Down without doing something overused or uninspired. My interpretation of the topic was more emotional than literal. To me, The Upside of Down sounded like a good thing happening with or because of a bad thing, in my eyes the obvious “bad” thing that would resonate with someone living in the valley was the recent fires that we all endured and the “good” that came of that was the healthy new-growth that has been springing up in the already burnt forests. The Goal of my art was to convey a sense of hope for rehabilitation in the valley which i believe that i achieved moderately well. The actual process i went through is pretty straight forward and i had planned it from the begining to go this way. As you can see the actual piece itself is staggered in height, my main goal was to create a false sense of movement with the paralax effect but it ended up not working the way i intended and created nice depth and shadow instead. The seperate water color pieces are actually glued onto foam board with varying thicknesses in order to make the scene feel more natural. The part i struggled most with was the foreground and the framing of the newgrowth sprout, it kept getting lost among the trees and background until i gave it a brighter green coat of paint. The part of the piece i feel worked out the best is the trees, watercolor layers worked in a beautiful way creating the bark look on each of them.
