Assignment 2 Part 1

I choose a sports magazine from the New Yorker in which they talk about the Culture of the Brooklyn Nets and the New York Knicks. I would say that this article relates to NBA fans  more than anybody else but depending on what your looking at it varies. There’s a bunch of different cultures brought to the NBA because of the diverse group of people who play. There are parts that talk about the style of the NBA which I believe doesn’t only talk to NBA fans. The way that NBA player use there appearance by hairstyles, fashion and other things to promote themselves and promote a certain culture is interesting to me. The league’s “concrete runway” isn’t just an opportunity to flex on Instagram it’s money in the bank for the savvy and stylish athletes. Everything you do in the NBA reflects what type of player you are and the players are taking full advantage. I find it fascinating how global the NBA has become and the cultural effects of this globalization are a good example of geography in the western world.

Discussions Week 6

The artist of this illustration is Petra Ericksson. She likes to do sketches sometimes and then drop them into the computer and go from there. She said that she doesn’t have a specific technique that she uses but when it comes to her illustrations she thinks about what colors will give off the emotion that she wants the work to have. I find this to be effective because by using colors in this way, it can help you connect with your audience more and give them the vibe you were going for in your work. I believe this is important because you might not always be there to explain your work but by using colors people can get an idea of what you were going for.

Sketchbook Week 6

I found it useful to make different patterns with my micron pens, when doing my drawings I tried my best to add a background in the drawings so things aren’t just floating around. I have a lot more work to do but I’m grasping the idea of shading and how powerful it could make the drawing ,when done the right way.
