I hate painting but I made the best of it with this project. I tried my best to make it look as clean as possible but I kind of messed up and I didn’t want to waste anymore paint as to what I already had!

This poster was created using Adobe Illustrator. I was very familiar using illustrator so I had a sense of what I was doing regardless of the fact that I was a little rusty. I haven’t used the program in a while so I did have quite a challenge to do some parts of it. But I am pleased with the overall results.

This study was the easiest of them all! Using the primary and secondary colors without mixing them was fairly easy. Just knowing that there didn’t need to be any type of mixing done was joy to my ears and joy for my wallet!

I enjoyed doing this project a lot more than the chromatic gray one. I felt more accomplished with this one because I was more pleased with the outcome of the colors and design.

Doing this project was very challenging. I kept that I was getting the wrong color but had to keep reminding myself that the colors NEEDED to be ugly and dark.

I wanted a change to the original color wheel. I would always see the usual color wheel whith the same shapes and everything so I decided to change it up a bit with having fishes swimming around in a circle. Each color is still adjacent complementary color just with a little mix.
Taking four inked drawings and bring it to 14×17 bristol paper was a tough one as well. I spent so much time on this part of the project. The only advantage I had with this project was having the healing pad, honestly. I started cutting the pieces from the black paper from an eye perspective view and realized that it wasn’t working. I kept cutting it too small for the 5×7 grid set for this. Honestly, I was getting aggravated and I wanted to stop working on this but I knew I had to finish it. I made sure that the part of the black paper that I was working on had a measurement of 5×7 so it would be easier. Once doing this, it really made it easier to cut from an eye perspective view. This project did take me around 8 hours to do and it may be a simple project, but it did take a lot of time and effort to be put in.
Even short people can rise above a deli
Going on a field trip on a beautiful day wasn’t as I had thought it would turned out. I had a lot of fun with my classmates just hanging out and actually getting to know each other. This specific picture of piece at the Art Gallery really stood out to me because i was actually able to feel bigger than something. Even though it was fake, this model of a corner deli was by far the best part of the trip. As a class we all had fun talking about it and taking pictures along side it as well. I guess short people can also feel like giants. 🙂
Looking out of my window where there is only basically a brick wall didn’t really seem much to work with but with thinking outside the box of what only was a brick wall really helped me to do this project. I really couldn’t see much out my window so I took a stroll around my block and started taking down on what I was observing. Basically all there was were bushes, bricks, fences, tress, and the sky so to say. This worked as a disadvantage because I wasn’t really able to picture an ambiguous picture for my project. Inking these drawings had to be the worse because it was very difficult to make sure that it was perfect so it didn’t look sloppy. The best part had to be just sketching it because I didn’t have to be so worried about getting it completely perfect.
