Gouache painting--Commercialization of Christmas

painting4

This was the first in class assignment for my Illustration 1 class. The assignment was to do a still life in black and white illustrating the concept of the commercialization of Christmas.

Here we have a manger, but instead of the Christ child it is filled with wrapped gift packages and candy. There is only one animal present with the manger, and it is a lifeless piggy bank.
