To represent Of Mice and Men’s themes of dreams, loneliness, and sacrifice,Ā Yang used an X-Acto knife to cut out shapes of a dark cloud, lightning, and a bird from black bristol, then glued them on the page to create theĀ obviousĀ composition. The dark cloud and the lightning stand forĀ theĀ obstacles of our dreams, and the bird is used to representĀ loneliness. Yang also used a No. 6H pencil and a black big brush to create theĀ concept of pattern. TheĀ irregular lines staggered together makes it look like a broken mirror, represent the idea ofĀ sacrifice.

Book of Wonder, 2015
Exacto knife, Ink brush pen, and used paper bag book.

Understanding the concepts though the graphic design principle, Ayano Morishima learned different types of technique to use ink bush pens to construct creative, humument book which it made connection with the texts from the book itself. Morishima changed the theme of the book, “Wishes” to more “Crazy Wonderland” concepts. She chose this concept, because she wanted something totally different than the original. The Book of Wonder was created by using Exacto knife to cut open the text at the bottom of the page and placed glue only in the middle on the same place and using the inked brush pen to color the triangular part of the top right corner to show the image of flipping the page and the pop art of book; representing the Book of Wonder. Morishima created this Book of Wonder to show others to see ā€œmoreā€ crazy side of original book; the creation of book and the flip page is a door way to the readers vision.

each of the paintings took me about a half an hour to do but trying to get the right colors took longer because i couldn’t really find the right way to do it so i went with these colors. trying to make the colors took me about an hour to and hour and a half of trial and error.

Saturation Studies: Phase 1

IMG_6743

My concept for my color wheel was a sun, because since the sun gives light, color, and not to mention UV rays, I thought it would be a good idea to give it a good concept on about light and color. Drawing the sun in the center was a struggle due to the fact that it was difficult to tell if was placed in the center correctly and getting the size of each triangle evenly correct. The colors were a little bit of struggle, what was hard was getting each color to be exact or somewhat exact at least, but they turned out pretty well. It took me about 2 hours and a half all together.
