Animation

I had a lot of trouble with animation. I researched it a lot and found that most was not what I wanted to do. I wanted something simple that portrayed my theme of colour. At first i looked at doing something with coloured pencils or pastels, but it was too lifeless and I did not think it went well with my other artworks. In the end I decided to play a round with some of my photographs. I took this one photo of a coloured doorway of a church which I really liked. I used this photo in photoshop and made it black and white and made the colour of the door multiple colours. I then took photos of each photograph with the new colour door. I then put all these together and created my stop motion.

Drawing + Painting

This week we were experiement with Coral X painter which was really fun to use. I enjoyed the digital side of drawing and painting, but did miss the texture of real art. I chose to use a photograph of a cottage with a bright red door. I really like the photo because it calls on the viewers imaginiation to think about where the door leads to, who the cottage belongs to and the story that goes with it. I tried a lot of different effects and this is them:



I used the Acrlyics dry brush for this one. I like the cloudy affect of it, but I think it could show more texture and look more like a painting.

 

I used coloured pencils for this one, which I really like. I think the texture is great, but am unsure if its too blurry.

For this one using chalk textured I thought it looked similar to the coloured pencils, but it had some strange spots on it which I think draw to muich attention to.

 

For this one I used the sponge dense brush. I think it has a really cool affect and is one of my favourites.

 

I used the watercolour broad brush for this one. It has very thick strokes which I like, but I dont like the strokes on the door.

I like the soft chalk brush used in this one. I think the strokes are really good and work well as a whole digital painting.

For this one I used the gouche thick flat brush which I think has'nt done much except make the photograph look a bit clearer. 

I used pastel chalk for this photograph. I like this photo and think it has some really nice strokes.

For this one I used the soft watercolour brush which I think just made a blurry photograph.

Video Art

For this week we are working on video art. I find video art a hard thing as it has to portray a message, but also be clasified as art. I think art these days is seen as anything, but it still has to appeal to the viewer and a particular audience. When looking at videoartworld I had trouble finding something that I really liked. This is one piece that I liked:
