Description
Part of my A2 level project in 2007-8 with title "Power". My idea was to research the biblical myth of Behemoth, Leviathan and Ziz, the primordial lords of earth, sea and air respectively. There being a lot of debate about precisely what creatures they were, I went for "real" ones. (Hey, I would've gone for mythological and had a fething sea serpent for Leviathan but noo, my course was strictly observational.) I picked a South Devon bull belonging to our neighbour for Behemoth, a Harris hawk from a falconry show that came to our village for Ziz, and er, well we didn't have any orcas handy, so they came off the internet for Leviathan. But yeah, please don't debate what creatures I have used; B, L and Z are all mythological anyway, and I did my research and coupled it with a bit of artistic license.
So. These are photos of my artwork, so not as high-quality as a scan would have been, but they've been cleaned up as best I could, which is not very well in the case of the chalk stuff. I got 100% marks for this, pushing my previous B at AS up to an A for the whole A level.

The second Leviathan orca; I'm aware that the lighting is reeeally weird, but I was only being faithful to the image (a National Geographic wallpaper, I think). I wanted to do this one because, really, the sight of an enormous bull orca crashing towards them like this is enough to make anyone think "power". Oh, and I had a surprisingly fun time with the spray.

Chalks (pretty much like blackboard chalks, blending by hand) on black paper: black, white, yellow, orange, mid blue, dark blue, brown, pink, red, purple.
