Final Piece

This year was so much fun in our digital arts class. As a final we had to create an original piece of art, so I turned my friends and I into half sketches. We had out photography teacher take the photo then I played with it in Adobe Illustrator. Overall it was a fun piece to create

Here is my second Pulp cover. I used the same picture of my friend then a photo of Scarlet Johansson from the Iron Man 2 movie. I do  not claim ownership to the movie or the photo. I used the watercolor paper effect and then adjusted the contrast and tone. So now my buddy is just looking down pondering life, oblivious to the fact that someone is climbing through the window.

Art Start!

" The experimental test of whether this art is great or good, or minor or abysmal,is the effect in the effect it has on your own scene of the world and of yourself. Great art changes you." - Sister Wendy Beckett

Everybody has a different view of art. Some people like the Gothic style while others prefer abstract pieces. But whether your friend likes it or not is not important, it is whether you like it. Every piece of art that is considered "great" by art critics has had a personal effect of many people. Does the symmetry in Davinci's  "Mona Lisa" make you think of the golden ration that describes the "perfect" human?what she is mysteriously smiling about? Does Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel make you think of the heavens? Every one has a different taste in art, but yet some pieces are considered grater than others.  Maybe it is just about the effect it has on people when they see it. As Sister Wendy said "Great art changes you."

Pulp Cover 1

Here is one of my pulp covers I created. It was a difficult assignment because it was hard creating a concept.  In this cover the "damsel" is tied up by the menacing bad guy playing cards and then the "hero" is climbing through the window to save the day. It is a mix of original source material and some pics from google. The characters are distorted photos of my friends and I. The scary background was a  photo of an abandoned warehouse that I cropped and changed the brightness on. The table was another photo I changed the effects on along with the window I am climbing out of and the rope hanging from the ceiling was created using the clone tool from the rope around her hands that I photo-shopped from a picture online. This is only one of my covers, but this is the progress report so far.

Film

So not much to post this week, but here is one of my photos from film photography

Process of the model portrait, sketched idea, not final piece

this is just a sketched idea for the models in my portrait.

Weekly Post-March 27

So this week we were suppose to complete our Anachronistic portrait. My idea was to put a portrait of a model , then place it in a cave to make it look like a caveman drawing. I know exciting. Whoo :/......



Anyways I was unable to finish today for the due date because I missed two classes this week. Hopefully I will be able to complete it after my week long spring break that I am completely ready for.
