Artist Statement: The assignment was to pick a Theme for this art class. I chose Dragons as the Theme for my Project. Dragons are part of the folklore of Ancient China. Being Chinese, I am interested in my Chinese culture. Dragons are also used in modern video and animation such as Dreamworks “How to Train your Dragon” and video games such as “Spyro Reignited Trilogy”. Because there are no real dragons in the world I can let my imagination create the dragons in my mind. I started with simple almost non-color drawings of dragons. They were just drawings of basic dragons that I had in my mind. As the project progressed, I added color to my dragons along with more details such as the texture of the dragon’s skin. My dragons finally came to life when I added shading to the drawing to make the drawing three-dimensional instead of two-dimension.
I used water-color papers for my sketches. With water-color papers, I could sketch the dragons in pencil, and add color at a later date with either color pencil or water-color paint. The watercolor paint allowed me to make the dragons 3D dimensional.
