For the third day of the current project “The Day Today” I choose an article about the riots happening in Hong Kong and how the bill has been lifted. As I was reading the article I started to doodle things that first came to mind, that being the outline of china and the Bauhinia Blakeana flower, which you can see on Hong Kong’s flag. I then went into a more detailed flower with the outline of china, however I decided to paint the land blue, due to police spraying rioters with blue dye. With the blue contrasting with the colours of the flower, it makes the piece stand out. As many people in Hong Kong were trying to hide their identity, I decided to write “Anonymous”, I wanted to try and recreate a young Childs’ writing to represent that the majority of the rioters were youths. For a final detail and to show technology and connecting with the rest of the world, I decided to add the dial code. If given the chance I would like to retcreate this piece and do it as a collage, with a real Bauhinia Blakeana flower and add recites to it, as Hong Kong is known for technology and shopping. It would also be more effective I feel if it were a larger scale. The current final outcome however, I do like even as a sketch to base of a piece from in the future.
