For total of maybe two days we discussed observational art. The Japanese art form that involves creating a fish print using an actual dead fish. This form of art, known as gyotaku, also falls underneath the subject of observational art. When creating this project I took the time to paint the fish similar to how a real one would look. Instead of painting the fish one universal color, I painted the different parts of the fish different color. The main body was painted a bright orange, while the sail fin, tail fin, and side fin were painted a glittery red, along with a sparkly gold eye. I chose to print the fish on an pale yellow, old fashioned looking paper in order to make the fish appear to be an older piece.
