Reflection
For this work, I wanted to make an illustrated scientific poster of birds that included their known names, as well as their scientific names. Each birds information, the Herons, are from two of my bird identification books shown in the research section of this post. The feedback from the class suggested that I go larger in composition and to add a border. There were suggestions of creating different textures if I used cardboard or wood as the base/background and have the birds be cut out and painted with watercolor. Another suggestion was to make larger (possibly life size) flying bird mobiles to accompany the posters, as well as a collection of their respected bird calls. All of the suggested ideas were very exciting, and I plan on exploring them as I continue this project/idea.
