Week 6

Peace, Love, & Protests

Read the article and write brief response. Consider these questions in your response?

Do you think Protest art makes an impact beyond the design community? Do you think it can be an emotional outlet or a way for people to connect with others? Have you ever created art for a protest for a march? Which image do you find the most captivating and why?

Extra Credit: Create you own Protest Art design in your sketchbook
You can choose your own topic.

Color Choices

When i color, i am usually attracted to very warm colors like yellow, pink, red etc. Vibrant colors like these can really pull you into a piece of art and can look attractive on anything like candy, food, fruits and other edibles. I would only use cold colors if i want to give a very heavy tone to something or to maybe mix the two when i want something complementary to make things pop. My attraction to warm colors could be linked to how much i liked candy growing up and my liking of the vaporwave aesthetic which also combined cold and warm colors.

The MoCCA (Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art) Arts Festival is a 2-day multimedia event, Manhattan’s largest independent comics, cartoon and animation festival, drawing over 7,000 attendees each year.

The CityTech Inkclub will have a table at this years’ MOCCAFEST!
Citytech COMD was one of only a few art schools awarded a table
at this year’s event, which will take place on April 2 and 3rd.

This is a HUGE opportunity to have fun, gain exposure, and learn about the comics and cartooning industry – maybe even make a little money off of your artwork! This will not cost students any fee to table!Previous
