Rimi Dudhia- Animal Cruelty

I explored the topic of animal cruelty, specifically how it affects rabbits, which is my chosen animal for this project. Animal cruelty is a big problem we face to this day where we see animals being harmed and experimented on for consumer products such as makeup products and household cleaning products. Rabbits are the most used animals for testing as they are the most gentle and well behaved animals.

I had decided to incorporate this topic of animal cruelty with rabbits into my final piece. My final piece of artwork is simple, yet portrays a clear storyline of how easily rabbits are abused for experiments. The blue background towards the outside draws attention to the actual topic going on in my piece. The rabbit quickly goes from a healthy state to an unhealthy state as it is experimented on.

Ogre-Faced Spider Hunting Behaviour - Tara Hughes

 

I chose to theme my sequence around spiders as they are often represented as somewhat distasteful. They repel most people with their intimidatingly disproportionate bodies and legs. But the spider can be beautiful. Their webs are intricate structures that are used as skilful instruments to capture and entangle. My sequence is an expression of art and science, based on my research into contemporary and historic scientific illustrations.

I have illustrated the lifecycle of the immortal jellyfish through animation as well as awareness for coral bleaching. This animation would be shown in an aquarium for children.
