Color

Here is a poster for a Coaches vs. Cancer fundraiser I would some day like to hold in memory of a friend of mine.  It was designed to be over a black background with white font, but here it is with out black or white. 

Color

Here are my color wheels and scales.  For my wheel, I found a blank template online that I really liked, and simply colored it myself.  I like that there are three circles for the primary colors, squares for the secondary, and triangles for all the in between hues. 

Below are the scales I did.  I did a scale of 13, I believe, hues for blue into white, blue into red, and yellow into red. 

 

 

 

Self Portrait

Here is my self portrait, using only the grayscale patterns and textures from a few weeks back.  This picture was taken of me on vacation last year, but is one of my favorite photos.  I used Photoshop to create layer masks for each of the patterns.  This was a really fun project. 

Illusion of Space and Motion

We were tasked this week with finding 3 representations of illusion of space and 3 representations of 3 illusions of space, and were asked to illustrate how they represent their respective principle.  For illusion of space, I chose the following principles:

Aerial Perspective
Multipoint perspective
Overlapping

Below are the pieces, with the explanations of their use edited onto the art itself.

The three principles of motion that I chose are:
blurred lines
anticipated motion
repeated figure

Here are the pieces I chose:

Pattern and Texture

The piece below is a grayscale representation of 15 different patterns and textures from around the house and yard.  I believe, after having completed this, that the assignment only needed 11, but I didn't feel the need to re-do the assignment as I believe it illustrates the same principles. 

Shape/Volume

This week we were asked to create three negative space works.  For my still life elements, I chose a big potted plant and a wooden sitting chair.  I took them at different zooms and cropped them all at different angles.  The original photo's are below them.  Keep in mind, they were cropped and angled.

Line

Here are my line designs.  The first are lines expressing the emotion presented.  The second piece are verbs being expressed by lines.  The last two are dry and wet media types of a mug.
