With some friends I had the occasion to go watch a ballet and decided to challenge myself and draw the theatre and during the ballet, it was a very fun experience overall
"La Danse Macabre" project based on the mythological figure of the harpy with all the steps from research of the harpy throughout history, studies of bird anatomy, conceptualization and, although still in progress, a final illustration which will be painted in oil on canvas.
This is an example on how art projects are created at my school, with a four main steps through research and elaboration of an illustration/sculpted project.
graphite, colored pencils watercolor and gouache on 50x70 paper for the research pieces and oil on canvas for the final piece

Installative school project based on my interest for different cultures and environmentalism in which I associated the need to protect the traditions of ethnic minorities and endangered animals as I believe biodiversiti is just as important in the natural world as well as in our society.
The first images are of concepts for my original idea, as at the beginning I had understood that the assignment was just to create a concept based on Venezia's Biennale installations. Once it had been clarified that the project was something that we had to actually create I obviously had to scale down everything, arriving to the final idea of creating just three life size cutouts.
concepts in oil and chalk pastels on sketching paper and black paper.
