What I want the viewer to see or notice about my artwork is the value. I also want them to notice the theme that influenced my drawing which was broken. I represented the theme by drawing a crack running throughout almost the entire egg.
The topic that I picked for this project was the captivity of orcas in Sea World. I chose this because sea world is just now starting to stop using orcas in their shows. The environments that the orcas are placed in are very harsh and it causes them to have mental problems such as over aggressiveness and stress. They also experience physical differences such as their fin to flop over instead of standing up like it should.
I picked the image of an orca because they are the central focus of my project. I also chose a small water tank because it represents the very limited lifestyle they are able to have. I also chose to draw a little boy reaching out almost touching the tank and it seems like he is realizing how depressing it is that such a big animal is confined to such a small space.
