canvas project




This is my canvas project.

I wanted to create something that was the most ideal, easy, and perfect for the time of the year. I felt a turkey would be a great idea and seemed something i could accomplish in this challenging program. the colors are representative of the fall time for me back home in new jersey. the background was just a little extra flare I added to spice up the project because i felt it was lacking something interesting.

The Program was very hard to understand so adding a background as instructed for a more creative piece was incredibly challenging. I believe that with the time I had to submit and resources available it was appropriate to use a background from a class example. I think the background fit in correctly and created a stronger piece for my skill level.

    This assignment is very eye catching! I think you did a really good job adding the background because I remember in class professor wanted you to add something in the background. So nice job with that! I love Thanksgiving (for the food) too. So this turkey made me lol.

    I second everything Caroline said! Even though the turkey was made with pretty simple shapes, it still looks really cool , especially with the fun colors added. I think you did a great job picking the color scheme for the turkey since they are all warm-toned colors that give off that fall/thanksgiving vibe. As Caroline said, you did a great job jazzing it up with a colorful, interesting background!

    Hey Jack! I really enjoy looking at your project; the turkey is very fun and the background is super interesting. It was also really cool and thoughtful of you to do this turkey considering the time of the year. Very good job!

    Jack, I think this project came out really cool. I like the turkey and how you made it with the different colored feathers I think that is a nice touch. Adding the background was definitely a good idea. I think that the shapes with the lines turned out cool and add some pizzazz to your final product.

Somewhere

Image
 This is my somewhere project. I used the most memorable take from the movie Kids made in 1995 by Larry Clark. A movie about teenagers living in New York City in the summer of 1995. I inserted myself on the left side of the image. I used a picture that was already taken. I had trouble taking a picture that matched the lighting of the scene so I edited the image of myself to match it as much as possible. This image was the best fit because i was walking in the same way the actors are walking and it is more natural than a staged picture. I also felt that my outfit and look in the picture was nearly identical to the way they look in the scene in the movie.

bw to color

Image
 For my black and white to color I went with the Monochromatic, analogous, and complementary color schemes from the adobe color wheel website. This project was quite hard to execute and follow due to the mess of layers I was working with and when I realized I was screwed and couldn't execute the project the same as the tutorial It was too late to restart and go back.  This image also very troubling when it came to cutting the masks on this image especially around my hair. the shirt had a few words on the front that I felt the professor would find inappropriate for class. the finger board was very hard to mask correctly and the organization of the layers troubled me a lot too.

Portfolio

https://drive.google.com/file/d/18vOi0XENj4FERS0KxJQFKgMGA405w370/view?usp=sharing This is the link to my portfolio. I am unsure as to why Blogger wont let me embed the pdf doc. or upload a pdf document.  I used some images of smoke flares I made years ago and never used. I wanted a very professional look to my Portfolio. I feel that my portfolio is a very strong project and showcases well what I did in and worked hard on in this class. This class was very lengthy and it is hard to think it is over already. It was a nice touch at the end to see all my work layed and out and i am proud of my self and what I accomplished in this class. I tried to show my personal art style through everything I made wether it was understood or not. I think minimalism is the cleanest and clearest form of art and that you can say a lot more with showing a lot less. Thank you Prof. Roundtree.
