3D Anamorphosis

1. In photoshop we transformed the scale to make the object longer so when you looked at it from and angle the object looked normal. This is called anamorphosis.

 

2. Based on the perspective of the angle the object could look distorted or normal. Drawing a shadow helped make the image look more 3D. We used color pencils to show the value in the anamorphosis.

 

3. To make the anamorphosis successful you had to make sure that you got the measurements correct to that it looked 3D. To do the we made a grid on the pictue and on the drawing. Then you just drew what was in the box on the picture into the box in the drawing.

Spray Paint

 1. In the computer lab we changed the picture of, for me, Aberham Linclon into positive and negative space. Basically the stuff that is purple in the spray painting is positive space and the blue, white and orange is negative space. We used photoshop and went to threshold to make the image black and white.

2. When creating a collage of book pages in the back, you wanted to add texture like a face or only writing. A girl in my class did only faces looking to something.

3. To use positive and negative space we cut out the negative space. We used a Xacto Knife to carve out the poster board making the Stencil.

4. Using the Xacto Knife we had to always make sure we had a board underneath our stencil and alway cut away from us.

5. It was important to have a strong contrast in between the colors so that you could see the image. For example dark purple against light blue, white and bright orange.

Prints (part 2)

For our print making project, I made a giraffe. I added texture to my print my carving out each individual spot on the giraffe. I was able to show depth by adding the clouds and the birds. My favorite print was the green, orange, and yellow print. I was able to use diffrent colors that made the print have a more exotic feel. Overall I feel like this project was a sucess because the print, I feel, looks really good! I made 6 total prints. One was brown on blue, blue on white, blue on yellow, brown on yellow, brown on white, and of course, orange, yellow and green on black. I really enjoyed this project because it was really fun to make the prints and see the final product!

Prints

During this project, texture is so important because it makes the print come to life! Texture adds so much to the print, it makes it look more realistic instead of just a drawing. It was necessary to have several refrences for each animal because if you couldnt see a part of the animal on one picture, you could see it on another. For instance, on one of my pictures you couldnt see the jaw as well as another, so I could look at both pictures to get a really good looking giraffe! When I looked at each of my individual scetches, the giraffe, cow, and monkey, I could see that even though the giraffe was the hardest, it would make the best print. I really like the pattern on the giraffe, it added alot of texture to the print. It was very difficult to carve in between the spots, but it was worth it!

Chalk Mural

Creating this mural was alot of fun! It was a lot harder than I had first expected. Each day we would have to go to the bathroom after just to wash all of the chalk off our faces! It took the whole group to do the background purple. I did the rock and the fire, while Sydney did the dragon and the gold. The other to guys in our group worked to the background...the whole time, we almost ran out of purple! It was very important to work together on this because without the guys we would have never been able to finish the background! We were able to divide and conquer the mural. I think this project was a real success becasue the dragon looks really good, and I have seen other students interacting with the mural as well. I really enjoyed having the whole school interacting with our mural. It was nice to have random people walk up to you while you were creating it and compliment your artwork!
