Sarah Moss - Ravensbourne School

Kerala Art project

This project is about Vishnu age 3 likes the colour red, his favourite animal is a goat and he enjoys playing with building blocks. Vishnu is quite a serious chap but he does smile occasionally! He doesn’t like being carried or being swung around in the air. He

is one of the ‘typical’. In this project I shall experiment and develop my skills to produce a final painting that will feature Vishnu and objects that represent him.

About my work .. My work is towards my BTEC, this is a unit that requires a portrait of a student from a school in Kerala, surrounded with imagery that represent him. My portrait of Vishnu is part of a triptych as Vishnu is three years old. Red is Vishnu favourite colour. I tried to create a background in a similar style to Franz Klien. The symbol down the side is repeated many times to create a repeat pattern. The symbol mean happiness.
