Lost Polar Bear

Each class at our school made a piece/pieces of art for the Parent Council Art Show and Sale. One of our pieces started out as an abstract painting. We used acrylic and interference paint on cardboard to give the painting the feeling of a dream. We then outlined the colour/value changes in the painting with black pen to make the contrast stand out even more. In the end, we decided we didn't have much of a focal point, which means our eyes didn't know where to focus when looking at the painting. We decided to turn our painting into a polar bear because it reminds us of Canada and we think many people buying art would like the image of a polar bear. We chose the design and Miss Cichosz helped us by cutting it out and putting it together with hot glue and black tape. The polar bear reminded some of us about how polar bears are losing their habitat because the ice is melting in the Arctic.
