Mini Concentration Art Proposal

For my mini art concentration proposal at first I thought I wanted to do something basketball related because it’s what I’ve been doing for a huge part of my life and I thought I would enjoy doing pieces revolved around that sport. The only problem with doing pieces that involve basketball was that I felt it was so typical for me to do and I didn’t want to go with what I was expected to do. As I was doing one of my Friday sketches, I decided to do a drawing on organic nature and I as I went online to find ideas, I came across pictures of wolves and found a fascination with them and just knew I wanted to draw them being in their natural habitats.

I came to the conclusion that I want to do three pieces of two wolves in search for each other in order to be together because they’re in love for my art concentration. I want my first picture to be of a white wolf on a cliff of mountain, howling in the moonlight to get in contact with the wolf she’s searching for. I want the other picture to be of a black wolf in the forest by a body of water with trees in the background and have the wolf howling in the moonlight to try to get in contact with the white wolf. I want the third picture to be of both of the wolves together howling into the moonlight in the forest on the ground with trees in the background. I want one of the wolves to be black and the other wolf to be white because I also wanted to show that love is love and that color of skin doesn’t matter. In the pieces the wolves don’t care and since they want to be together they’re going to be there and get to each other no matter what it takes.

I want the focus to be on the wolves, so they will be drawn with pencil with a lot of detail.

I will do these pieces with a scale of drawing pencils and incorporate watercolor in them. The 3 pictures will be medium sized as well. Some artists that inspired my pieces were Denise M. DesLauriers , Carla Kurt, and Sharron Girdwood.
