Concentration check in





 
These works are in progress. I am not totally happy with them yet...we will see
 
Concentration statement:
The central idea and theme of my concentration is how theatre can shape the way we see the world, and for me I tend to see beauty in the dark aspects of a piece. No matter whether it is a play for a child or a play for an adult, all theater has some aspect of fear, weakness, death, some aspect of evil. This presence of evil creates a contrast and defining emotion within a piece and is also what makes it relatable. I primarily drew my works and then edited them in Photoshop, this hands on approach replicates the experience of creating a theatrical piece and the time that goes into those.

Weekly Challenge 8: Opposite






For this project of opposites i chose to give my polar opposite a good ole' college try.....it did not work. I do graphic design and animation primarily, every project we have had so far in my class i have found a way to swing it away from having to do photography. So this project rubbed me the wrong way. i spent over two hours tromping around outside, freezing my butt off, and for what? your answer? Nothing.

Silk Painting


This silk painting I created was of the Death Star , from ..now Disney's....Star Wars. I really didn't get to put the time I wanted to into this work because I was absent. However all in all I am pretty pleased with how it turned out. I believe I would receive a 5 on this art work.


5.A There is generally successful use of the elements of design applied to an investigation of 2-D design principles.
5.D The work may show successful engagement with experimentation and/or risk-taking in
some pieces.

5.C The work generally demonstrates imaginative ideas and effective manipulation of the
elements and principles of design.
 
5.B The work shows evidence of thoughtful decision making and intention.

Overall I am not a fan of silk painting because the lack of control I was able to get over the resist and how neat it is in the end or final product. I am proud of the colors and shading I was able to obtain, but the shapes were kind of subtle.

Something I am proud of

I pulled this together without really knowing what I was going for or where I wanted the work to end up. However I am very pleased with it. It is definitely true to me with its Graphic nature and use of shape.
