This was created for AP Sustained Investigation in AP Drawing. This work depicts a seal on top of a sail boat, which came from a news story that I saw where seals have started interacting with humans in new ways. The detailed seal, juxtaposed with the flat shapes of the sail boat reflects the nature versus the manmade boat.
Artist statement: A snapper species (Lutjanidae), one of a series of fishes depicted in grey tones.
Snow Hall of Natural History opened in 1886 and was named even before its completion for Francis H. Snow. In addition to a lecture hall and laboratories the building housed four museums for geology, zoology, entomology and anatomy. After it was no longer viable for use the building came down in stages from 1930 through 1934.
