My final piece i decided to do a canvas between A1 and A0 of a Native American trapped behind the bars of the American stripes, i painted the stripes in red however i let the paint dry with wierd strokes in it so that it made it look like blood, like all the blood the white people spilled. I also did the native american in black and white however the stars and stripes are all in colour to make the point that white people took everything from the natives even their colour. However the native chief i have depicted is looking into the distance proudly as though they can take everything but never his pride! I used acrylic paint to do the canvas (which I prepared myself using a wooden frame and material from the textiles workshop) i used acrylic as i felt the most comfortable using this to finish a big piece. If i were to do this again i would maybe dedicate more hours just to touching up the piece making sure lines are 100% straight and edges cleaned.
