The artwork depicting the Mama Bear focuses on the protective nature of the bear. I really tried to capture the power of the animal while also weaving in a few faces through various shapes and color swaps to keep the eyes guessing. In much of my work, the abstraction is about how elements come together and fall apart--much like seeing images in the clouds.

I felt like a great counterpart to the bear is the wolf. After choosing the wolf as the supplemental character, I wanted to hone in on the concept of the pack leader. And in a similar fashion to the bear, I added some facial profiles to the design--bringing in the human element. My thought here was that the students could see themselves as both the leader of the pack and/or the protective bear--in whatever fashion suits them.
