The assignment was to mash up a movie scene with the best song of that movie but I decided to put my own spin on it. For the final project Cel and I are focusing on ocean conservation and I wanted to find a way to tie this assignment into the theme of our class and Bob Ross as well.

I chose “Only the Ocean” by Jack Johnson as the song to overlay over Bob Ross’s painting “Dark and Stormy”. Art can come in many forms as well. I chose to use Only the Ocean because I wanted to have something more lighthearted to show off the love people can have for the ocean. A lot of what we were focusing on in our final project is ocean degradation, which is not nearly as lighthearted or nice to talk about. In order to get people to care more about what is happening to the ocean, we have to showcase its beauty and its importance and I can’t think of a better way to show the beauty of the ocean in any way other than art. Since our theme of the class is Bob Ross and all his paintings are beautiful I had to chose one. I also chose a song by Jack Johnson because of his sustainability efforts he is a part of and promotes.

I found the sheet music for it and overlayed it on top of Bob Ross’s paintings. I made the sheet music more transparent to allow the painting to fully show.
