We Had A Great Day Out~

Hey guys. It's been a long time since a blog post has graced my page, and wouldn't you know it, we're almost at the end of the trimester! That means it's time for an excess amount of work to be published. Since my last post, I've gotten quite a few projects done. The projects you're about to see are going up early so that I can get the final okay and / or comments from Mrs. Ottum.

With that said, projects ahoy!

Project 1: "Motion"
You guys have already seen this one in a earlier post, so I won't re-explain this one much. Basically, it's Motion conveyed in only black and white.

Project 2: "Artistic-Line"

I think this one was done before Motion was, but ehh, I'll add it anyways. It is a timeline of my life up to this point, or more specifically, the timeline of my inspirations that have lead me to being in AP Art Studio. I admit that it's not my best work, but I think it's okay, considering the time frame and the subject matter.

Project #3: Time-Line

....Ugh. I'm sorry, this one is pretty terrible. I had no idea what to come up with that would mean I'd have my project in on time, and by the time I got to work on it, I only had a week left to make all 30. I came up with this little Timeline idea and just ran with it as fast as I could.... too fast. The result is something I feel anyone would do in their free time with the live trace tool. :P

Project #4: Music Poster
 This is suppose to be a 70's poster. This project changed a lot from the beginning to the end, but the result is pretty good. The only thing I miss is the curvy borders I had; unfortunately they didn't really fit the theme at all and needed to be redone. By that point, I was ready to move on, so...

Project #5: Coloris
I think my main concern is that I began with one idea and switched to another when I realized how time-consuming the first idea would be. In the end, there's a image in the middle that is not the same as the others. Also, the Ad Copy is kinda hard to see in Image 3. It's there; the black makes up "Coloris", but it's not obvious like the other two.

Project #6: Birds
(Line-based image removed for cleaning's sake. Sorry!)
I have a bit of a dilemma with this one. You see, The first Bird, the Owl, looks really good in the first set because he's made up of lines, but the other three were designed using shapes. So, they don't match in theme. Okay, well than let's just change them to lines, right? But now the birds that had shapes look worse than they did with them. So now, I don't know which one to turn in - the top one, or the bottom one?

Project #7: Art Education
This one took me a long time to come up with, because you are essentially trying to convey a message that's usually spoken. The idea that I finally went with was a simple visual representation of the brain. On one side, we have the varied, creative and open canvas. On the other, we have the logical side of the mind. In the first, they are scattered, but in the third image, they are aligned just right. Than in the center I've got both sides working together.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alright, now on the the Concentrations. I'm not going to put text in-between these, because they all follow the same theme. The theme is environments - either man-made or natural that coincides with a month of the year. Each image is composed of only lines. Each one messes with the idea of earth reaching up to the heavens, and the heavens reaching back down. When I'm done, I'll have a full calendar.


I'll probably end up re-posting these tonight, without explanations. :P
