Is That A Giraffe?

This piece was an assignment for my first year of Fine Arts.

The assignment that at we were to bring in two images of our own. I brought in a fashion image and a photo of a giraffe that I had taken. We were then to combine our two images somehow, along with two object that the prof had displayed on a table. I chose the nut and the texture from a teapot.

So when all those four things were combined it turned out to be this surreal looking thing. It was done in chalk pastels.

I also entered this piece into the 11th Annual Juried Art Show for FAD/FA at Durham College and won Best In Show - Drawing!!!!
