Project: Heroes art project

The heroes project was an ongoing assignment in March 2016. The goal of the project was to create an original art project based on five ‘unsung heroes’ for which you had to research. The ending results for everybody’s projects were wildly creative and different.

When I was finished with this project, I was very happy with it, and proud that I had finished it. I chose it as one of my best works for that very reason.

    A hero is an individual trusted and admired by many for their bravery, selfless acts, bold attitude, and chivalry. From the time we are children we are told stories about heroes and their fight with the villain. In almost all cases, the hero wins. What we often are not told, however, is the journey the hero must go through to overcome the villain. The journey all heroes must endure is described perfectly in Joseph Campbell’s book, Hero With a Thousand Faces, and portrayed in George Lucas’ film Star Wars, through three specific steps: Departure, Initiation, and Return.…
