The neg­a­tive and pos­i­tive as­pects about copy­right and fair use.

The negative and positive aspects about copyright and fair use.

The trans­parency pro­ject using our paints was pretty fun. Through­out the se­mes­ter I was get­ting tired of doing a lot of black and white im­ages and was ex­cited to use color. Even though I did enjoy the re­sults, I felt this pro­ject was very te­dious and frus­trat­ing. Mix­ing the paints I feel was the most dif­fi­cult part for me, es­pe­cially the ter­tiary col­ors. I used the paint­ing knife to mix my paints and my test strips but my col­ors were just not com­ing out the way I wanted. I also felt for this pro­ject we was not given much time to com­plete when it came to the sec­ond round. I re­ally did enjoy the way we started out the pro­ject by ran­domly cre­at­ing dif­fer­ent types of shapes. It was in­ter­est­ing to see the dif­fer­ent style and size of the shapes that every­one came up with. I also liked play­ing around with the tints and tones. My fa­vorite col­ors that I mixed for my tints and tones were blue and white which cre­ated a nice light blue and red and black, which cre­ated a gor­geous bur­gundy color. Over­all, even though the process to com­plete this pro­ject was a bit frus­trat­ing I was sat­is­fied with my final re­sults and I en­joyed every­one else’s.

The transparency project using our paints was pretty fun. Throughout the semester I was getting tired of doing a lot of black and white images and was excited to use color. Even though I did enjoy the results, I felt this project was very tedious and frustrating. Mixing the paints I feel was the most difficult part for me, especially the tertiary colors. I used the painting knife to mix my paints and my test strips but my colors were just not coming out the way I wanted. I also felt for this project we was not given much time to complete when it came to the second round. I really did enjoy the way we started out the project by randomly creating different types of shapes. It was interesting to see the different style and size of the shapes that everyone came up with. I also liked playing around with the tints and tones. My favorite colors that I mixed for my tints and tones were blue and white which created a nice light blue and red and black, which created a gorgeous burgundy color. Overall, even though the process to complete this project was a bit frustrating I was satisfied with my final results and I enjoyed everyone else’s.

This pro­ject was one of my fa­vorite’s out of all the pro­jects we have done in class this se­mes­ter. Al­though I do be­lieve the process was very dif­fi­cult and te­dious. The rea­son I feel that it te­dious was be­cause of the time and tech­nique that was re­quired to com­plete the as­sign­ment. I also feel it was dif­fi­cult be­cause of how hard it was to find cer­tain tex­tures to mimic onto the paper. Luck­ily my boyfriend who used to work for NIKE has a ton of sneak­ers in the house that came in handy even though cer­tain tex­tures were not suit­able for the pro­ject. My fa­vorite part of this pro­ject was trans­fer­ring the im­ages and tex­tures onto the other half of the bris­tol paper that we were re­quired to work on. It was also fas­ci­nat­ing to see how the all the dif­fer­ent shapes played in to­gether being that they were all placed closed to each other. The paint­ing I would have to say was my least fa­vorite part be­cause of how de­tailed and care­ful I had to be given the fact that the dif­fer­ent im­ages were small in size. Over­all, I was happy with how my final re­sults came out and proud at my­self at the same time. Given all of the time and ef­fort I put into it.

This project was one of my favorite’s out of all the projects we have done in class this semester. Although I do believe the process was very difficult and tedious. The reason I feel that it tedious was because of the time and technique that was required to complete the assignment. I also feel it was difficult because of how hard it was to find certain textures to mimic onto the paper. Luckily my boyfriend who used to work for NIKE has a ton of sneakers in the house that came in handy even though certain textures were not suitable for the project. My favorite part of this project was transferring the images and textures onto the other half of the bristol paper that we were required to work on. It was also fascinating to see how the all the different shapes played in together being that they were all placed closed to each other. The painting I would have to say was my least favorite part because of how detailed and careful I had to be given the fact that the different images were small in size. Overall, I was happy with how my final results came out and proud at myself at the same time. Given all of the time and effort I put into it.

I found this pro­ject to be a lit­tle fun and not as com­pli­cated as our other pro­jects. The process took a while given the fact that I had to re-do it on a dif­fer­ent type of paper. Orig­i­nally, I did it on Bris­tol paper in­stead of draw­ing paper. I en­joyed uti­liz­ing the terms that we learned from our in class jour­nals in each of our draw­ings. I felt that doing the jour­nals and dis­cussing them in class did give me a bet­ter un­der­stand­ing of cer­tain com­mer­cial ad­ver­tis­ings that I see on an every­day basis. It was fun play­ing around with my draw­ings and com­ing up with these dif­fer­ent ideas when using these terms. The most dif­fi­cult part for me was the smudg­ing of the spots. I did not enjoy that part as much be­cause it took the most time out of all of the steps to cre­ate these draw­ings. It was also a bit hard to ren­der the same spots that were cho­sen for the pro­jects. Being that they were ran­dom spots that were cre­ated with barely any thought. I did enjoy over­all cre­at­ing my 50/50 piece. Being that I en­joyed doing a 50/50 in my tex­ture/fig­ure/ground pro­ject, this one was just as fun and slightly eas­ier since we didn’t have to work with ink or per­ma­nent mark­ers.

I found this project to be a little fun and not as complicated as our other projects. The process took a while given the fact that I had to re-do it on a different type of paper. Originally, I did it on Bristol paper instead of drawing paper. I enjoyed utilizing the terms that we learned from our in class journals in each of our drawings. I felt that doing the journals and discussing them in class did give me a better understanding of certain commercial advertisings that I see on an everyday basis. It was fun playing around with my drawings and coming up with these different ideas when using these terms. The most difficult part for me was the smudging of the spots. I did not enjoy that part as much because it took the most time out of all of the steps to create these drawings. It was also a bit hard to render the same spots that were chosen for the projects. Being that they were random spots that were created with barely any thought. I did enjoy overall creating my 50/50 piece. Being that I enjoyed doing a 50/50 in my texture/figure/ground project, this one was just as fun and slightly easier since we didn’t have to work with ink or permanent markers.
