Crystaline Cetacea

Title of Art Piece: Crystaline Cetacea
Category: Communication Arts / Graphic Design – 2017
Student/Artist’s Name: Tehya McLeod
School: Lathrop High School
Grade: 11th
Artist Statement:

I created this piece inspired by the fractured/ geometric trend in art that breaks down the form of an animal into triangles or other shapes. I decided to put my own twist on the trend by sketching an orca that was transforming into crystals versus basic geometric shapes. It was then scanned and manipulated digitally with graphic design in mind.
