A few weeks ago I introduced you to a project I've been working on for a few months where I got paired up with a scientist and had to visually represent their research. Since that project was officially due this week, I'll be sharing the final bits and pieces with you over the next few days, and then sharing where you can see it in person. A little bit about the primary steps that went into it...
Step 1: Understand the research and topic
Step 2: Brainstorm & sketch ideas
Step 3: Gather materials, hand make art supplies
Step 4: Draw background
Step 5*: Arrange & layer 3D objects on top of background
Step 6: Light the piece in studio & take photographs
Step 7: Cull & edit images
Step 8: Write artistic narrative & send final image off to printer
Handmade supplies: Drawing charcoal, earth pigments, melted wax drops.
Hand collected items: Coyote skull (from GA), rocks and juniper berries from the southwest.
*Image shown below is at Step #5... final image coming soon!
