ERUPTION EVENT PAINTING

Final Painting

When the tsunami hit Japan I was watching the Japan news with my mom. We saw it happen live. As I saw the ocean consume hundreds of homes and people, I felt like I was erupting. I had so many emotions and thoughts going on at once. I wanted to create a painting that expressed how I felt. I choose to depict an image of a volcano erupting and painted the volcano using contrasting colors. I used colors like black, blue, purple, hot pink, yellow, red, and orange to convey the feeling of all the intense emotions that were radiating out of me.
