SIEGE
Prompt: The requirement of this project is to find two pictures online, one is an aerial view of the world and another is the microscopic view of the world. After finding the images, we need to do some sketches first to explore ways for making an analogy to what we are seeing. And then, we are going to choose and draw a picture on a 9 by 12 inch paper by using all kinds of media.
We were tasked with finding images online and making an analogy to what we are seeing by using all kinds of media. I decided to use minimal colors – black and white in an analogy to emphasize the intense feeling of the image. It looks like a siege in that the outer areas are really intense and the inside are much more at ease.
By doing this project, I explored the microscopic view of the world. It is really interesting to see there are so many tiny details that we cannot see by our eyes. Although a commonly unseen world by our eyes, it is aesthetically beautiful with majesty in a natural environment and should be respected.
