Pet Shop Booklet
My concentration demonstrates Littlest Pet Shop toy animals. These small creatures can look odd and creepy to some people. Depicting the simplicity of childhood, the Pet Shop Booklet shows small figurines that children play with. Hoping to symbolize idols children have in their lives, I chose these small animal toys to demonstrate how easily they can become an idol to the child. As we grow up we move on to new idols that indicate our progression through life. The booklet is made out of watercolor paper that was painted gold. Taking the strips of gold paper and taping them together with zebra duct tape, I created a small booklet. The zebra duct tape represents the animals that are being shown. Within the pages of the booklet, small painted animals are glued to the pages with yes glue. The animals, also painted on watercolor paper, are not precise. The Pet Shop Booklet almost appears to be a cartoon drawing. Lifelike features are apparent but there is more of an unrealistic feel to the piece. The gold background makes the black and white paintings show up. Zebra duct tape creates a childish look to the piece of art. Many people do appreciate childhood and wish to grow older; I want my art to symbolize everything good about childhood. As well as showing the good side, I also wish to describe the dark and selfish part that manifests in children. Pet Shops are very delicate trinkets used to express children’s feelings and emotions. Pet Shop Booklet is small and detailed. It is filled with watercolor value drawings. They depict the many different shades and tones of value within the plastic animals. These paintings are done in black and white, no color. Line and shape are the two most important elements shown.
