Briefly define the nature of your concentration project.
My concentration is based on the essential behavior of the bee and the atmosphere, which it creates.
Briefly describe the development of your concentration project and the sources of your ideas. You may refer to specific slides as examples.
At first, my focus was on depicting realistic illustrations of bees, as in slides 1 and 2. Eventually, it evolved to include other atmospheres, such as the honeycomb, as a way to illustrate the behavior and lifestyle of the related subject matter. In slide 5, I began to juxtapose unusual environments within the framework of the beehive. This ultimately led to the discovery of an implied sense of movement beginning in slides 8 and 9. The beehive soon became secondary within my work. Inevitably, the act of the subject matter creating its own environment led to the delineation of the bee's movement through erratic use of line (slides 11 and 12). Ultimately, a deeper understanding of the subject matter was reached, questioning not just the environment, but also the reasoning behind it.
What medium or media did you use?
I used a variety of different media, including colored pencil, acrylic, ink, and cardboard.
