Canadian Wildlife Remixed
In order to create the painting on the left, I edited the photo on the right, which was taken last year in downtown Calgary, changing the hues to create the photo in the middle. Once I had this edited photo, I translated it onto a canvas with acrylic paint, making some of the colours brighter and emphasizing the colourful spots more.

My Independent Project, May 2018 Leah Hooper is a sixteen-year-old Canadian artist attending the Visual Arts and Media Academy at W.H. Croxford High School. She enjoys painting, graphic design, drawing, and putting together new and thrifted outfits. Leah’s independent project is a series of drawings of outfits she has worn over the course of the school year. She has completed the drawings with Copic alcohol markers, using vibrant, muted, and earthy colours to accurately capture every garment in her closet. There are twenty drawings in her series, titled, “An Artist’s Closet,” which are binded into a lookbook. She believes this series is the ultimate creative expression of herself—through drawing and fashion. Each outfit she puts together is just as much of a creative expression as each painting and drawing she does, so this series puts together two major parts of her artistic abilities. She hopes that those who view her project will see her outfits as art pieces just as much as they see a painting or a photo as an art piece. She wants viewers to know that art isn’t only found on paper or canvas, but can be found even in an artist’s closet.
