Principles of Screen Design

2009-04-16T15:23:00.000-07:00

Right now I'm in a Principles of Screen Design class, and our first assignment was to make a camera less film through the use of scratching techniques, markers, and whatever else we could think of to do it on the film itself, so I did just that along with some hole punching and bleaching on the black leader. I synced it to the song "What is love" by the Haddaway band and came up with what you see here:

3D Design

2009-04-12T20:18:00.000-07:00

In 3D Design we did some projects that at the time weren't so cool...now I love them, here they are:

Realistic Paintbrush
Process: I had to create a paintbrush off of the
dimensions of a real paintbrush, by using things
that could be found around the house. For
the bristles I used A LOT of strands of yarn;
I made a base out of cardboard and wrapped it
with aluminum foil, the handle is made
entirely out of tape.

Wirebug
Process: For this project, we had to choose a bug
and go off of its dimensions to make a bug made
completely out of wire (soooooooo much wire) that
was about 10x its size. I chose a beetle, and here
are the before and afters.
Before

After

(with ribbon applied for the shell)

Cardboard Boot
Process: Had to choose a shoe (As you can see,
I chose a boot) to go off of, and create a replica
of it by use of only 3 things- cardboard, knife,
and glue. Here is what I created, I have the boot
I went off of at home, so I'll have to upload a pic
of it later. I painted it for bonus points.

I am pretty proud of this:

'09 SavanniJam Competition: "Thumb Wars

2009-04-12T16:54:00.000-07:00

So, the SavanniJam is SCAD's 24 hour Animation competition. It started at 5pm on Friday April 3rd and ended at 5pm April 4th. The judges give you a theme, and you base your animation around it. The theme this year was Power. Although we each had max 1 hour of sleep (except our leader Andy, poor Andy) we had a ton of fun. And although we did not win any physical prizes, we each were winners at heart for it was our first and so far only attempts at stop motion. Here's what Andy Mai, Amanda Partelow, Amy Ju, and I came up with:

(*note- the bunny represents peace,
- the pie represents the world,
and yes, Chuck Norris was featured)

on canvas.

Character Layout & Design

Here are a few things that I created for my character layout and design class. Firstly, my favorite:

"Persephone"

propoxy. Baked, but not painted.

Paintings: Acrylics Galore

2009-04-12T13:58:00.000-07:00

Here are the paintings I did for Color Theory, all done in Acrylic on Bristol then mounted on Black Matte Board:

"Colors of the Wind"
Color Wheel

"Clovers"
Analogous Colors

"Untitled"

Saturation Continuum of 2 Complementary Colors

"Rose Window"
Complementary Colors Stained Glass Project

"Killers"
Discordant Colors
Process: I chose my favorite music band and
created an album cover for them using
discordant colors. It had to feature transparency
so I applied that to the sign above their silhouettes.

"Pisces: Water and Fire"
Bezold Project
Process: I came up with one design, and then
painted it with only three colors (on the left: Blue,
Dark Blue, and Light Orange) creating one image.
Then by changing out the Blue for a color relative to
the Light Orange (Orange as seen in the image on the right),
then the colors would give off a totally different
feel than the original painting.

"The Venetian"

Atmospheric Perspective with Optical Color Mixing
Process: I painted this using the pointillism,
but also optical mixing because the colors
are mixed visually rather than on the palette.
I used photo reference from the internet to
create this scene.

Different versions of myself. I'm not vain, most of these were class assignments :)

Peek Contour Self Portrait

"The Many Faces of Me"
Process: I took foam core board and carved a peek contour
of different versions of my face into it by use of a thin wooden
dowel. Once I'd finished the contour, I found my faces and
colored them with pastels, to create what is seen here:

Art From High School

2009-04-12T11:55:00.000-07:00

I was in the Long Beach High School Band for 3 years, and was asked to paint the sign that would hang outside the band hall. Robbie Lucky created the boards and painted the letters whilst I painted the symbols and bearcat head (our school mascot.) Here it is:

So it's begun...
