Phoenix of Chicago

Description

A quick speed paint I did in like, twenty minutes this evening for a school assignment. It's due tonight at midnight and I figured its shiny enough to post here. :D

Basically, we're experimenting with visually expressing a point (this is not an art class) and transitioning away from writing papers. Today's activity was to discuss with our groups the "truth" we discovered behind out field trips and each of us choose one trip and express the story and truth behind the memory in no more than six images (photos or drawn) and no more than a hundred words.

I couldn't find any images of a phoenix I felt summed up my point, so I quickly threw this together. Yes, I know, an overly generic pose and sloppy painting but I can't spend all evening on this one assignment. I do have a deadline. :L It is the only image I drew for it since the others were easy to find. The weird shadowy blocks are a representation of the rubble the great Chicago Fire left behind, the smoke is actually the ash kicked up by the phoenix as he rises up and becomes our rebuilding of a new city even better than the first with a smarter people. (aka, we actually follow fire codes now. :I and don't put WOOD ROOFS on the WATER FACILITY. DX )

The play we saw on this particular trip was amazing btw. :3
