Art Inspiration

Much like the other art inspiration one, i like this one because of color and shape.  Those are the most two important things in an image.  As long as it looks good to me i like it regardless of the actual content.   Maybe I am just easy to please but i love abstract paintings like this.

Visual Puns

     This assignment was to create four visual puns.  The four i chose were deviled eggs, hotdog, birdhouse, and apple pie.  I pretty much just chose the first four that came to my head.  I didn't like this project as much because i like the ones that are more artistically focused, rather than jokes.  Not that i hated this assignment, it was still fun to do.

Comic Strip

My comic strip was done with Ted and it is on his blog.

Kaleidoscope

     This is a kaleidoscope image of  a wine glass done from a tutorial found on youtube.  I feel like this tutorial wasn't the best because it didn't really turn out well.  I like how the colors overlap though.

Mid-Term Project

The Midterm assignment was to take 24+ images and put them on a 7x5 grid.  We used a different tool to alter each image to show our understanding of photoshop tools.  My approach was throwing all the projects i've already done onto it, to make a collage of what i have done this year.  I didn't have enough however, so some are just images from the internet.  i arranged them mostly randomly, although i did have the background paint splatter in mind.  I am very pleased with it. It would be cool to have a large printout and see all the different images.

Artists that Inspire

For some reason I have always loves clouds, and that is what caught my eye at first in this image.  I also like the use of the colors green and yellow.  I have found that my favorite works of art are more determined by color and shape than actual content.

pixlr.com

Experimenting with image editing websites and how they compare to photoshop.  pixlr.com is not as extensive, with many less options, filters, etc.  It did, however, have this awesome pencil toll, which is entirely what i used in this drawing.
