Reflection of AED

1. Though I has unsuccessful in handing in the the introduction assignment I still had expectations and thoughts on this course and overall this course met my expectations. I enjoyed the projects, and the ability to create and physically do what we were learning about. Going into this course I was hoping for that.

2. Art to me has always been viewed as such a wide variety of things. Everything we see can be art in someones eyes because we all view things so much differently within. Art gives so many different emotions to different people. I still agree with my opinion on what art is but after taking this course it has shown me even more about what art is and how it just surrounds us.

3. To start this course my favorite artist was Joan Miro. I really like Joan Miro because when I was in high school I learned about him and he as well as his artwork was so fascinating. During this course I came across other artworks by him and was even more interested in his use of color and shape within his artwork.

4. I had previously taken an online class and enjoyed it, going into this one I was excited to get started. The assignments were very well thought of and the time frame was very reasonable to get the work done. After this course I still like taking online classes and would think about taking one again for a future semester.

Project 1

Line: Hockey Sticks Value: Black and White Image Shape: Box with circles Form: Jar in Snow Space: Street Light Color: Bright Orange Shoes Texture: Cinnamon Buns Balance: The River Contrast: Kid in Color on Black and White background Movement: Hockey Slapshot Emphasis: Face Shot Pattern: Suite case Proportion: Toddler in proportion to everyday living Unity: The Puzzle During the early stages of doing this project I found it challenging to find and create pictures that were able to represent the words and definitions above. Once I began taking just a couple pictures, I couldn't put my phone down and looking at things in different ways. When doing this project I allowed myself to look at the things around me with an open and free mind and photograph a lot of the everyday things around me that represent the definitions. This project was one that truly allowed me to free my mind and look at everyday things I see in a more creative and expressing way. During this project m...

Self Potrait "Blue Smiles"

Title: Elizabeth Artist: SN Media: Oil Painting on canvas with mounted butterflies Size: 47 X 51 X 3 IN 1. I chose this artwork because I really liked the use of black and white against the colored background and blue butterflies. Title: "A little bit louder now..." Artist: Ivan Durrant Date: 1999 Size: 91.5 X 122 cm Media: Painting 1. I chose this for inspiration because I really liked the high saturation in the picture, and thought that I would be able to replicate that effect in my own portrait. Title: Portrait of Tam Purves Artist: John Brack Date: 1958 Size: 91.5 x 122 cm Media: paint 1. This artwork was the one that influenced me the most. When I saw this one I liked the simplicity in it, along with the small detail that brings the whole thing together. I was inspired to try and create something with simple shapes while also capturing the picture as a whole. Title: "Blue Smiles" Artist: Alex Militello Media: Digital/Comput...

Logo Project

1. I thought that creating a logo that was about me was actually a lot of fun. The first thing I did was list out a few things about myself so I could find somewhere to start. After looking and thinking for a bit an Owl seemed very fitting for what I was thinking of. 2. While creating the logo I thought of different ways that not only I describe myself but how other people would describe me as well. A few traits were, quiet, aware, bright, and calm. From here I took into account things I liked as well such as bright colors and animals. So, from there I came up with the idea to use an owl because they have big bright eyes and are quiet animals. I thought that those traits were similar to the ones I came up with for myself. Then I did thinking and started drawing until I found what I liked. Each sketch I made had a different element that I liked that I pulled together to make the final Logo 3. The most important thing I learned while creating the logo was that, each sketch may not lo...
