Digital media first assignment

Our first project for Digital Media was to create a Surreal world using the techniques and skills we’ve learned on photoshop. I chose to use a picture from Myrtle beach as my background for the image. I then used other pictures I had taken from other vacations as collages for it. I learned things from this assignment and I hope to learn more as a I progress forward in this class. 

Alberto Seveso (Digital Artist)

Alberto Seveso is an Italian graphic/digital artist. Although he was born and raised in Italy, most of his work surfaced in the UK and that is where he began to get most of his recognition from. Ever since he was a kid he has always been interested in graphic and digital art. He was always interested in the art of little things like album covers, skate decks and anything graphical. As his success continued to grow, he began to work for companies like Nike, Gq magazine, Disney, ESPN magazine e.t.c.

Here are some images of some of his artwork:

I enjoy his artwork not only because of how obviously beautiful they are, but also because of the intricate little details that make the piece. The way everything just comes together works perfectly and it is visually pleasing to the eye. I also enjoy the different bursts of color he uses. He is definitely one of the artists that inspires me when it comes to this field of art.

Ink drawing assignment

  
This assignment was our ink assignment. I had a lot of fun with this assignment. What I learned from the critique was to expand the shadows so it looks more accurate and in better perspective. I’m going to continue to work on that. 

Small object study drawing

  
For this particular drawing, we were to draw a palm-sized object and draw it’s value from different angles with different lighting each time. The critique I received was that it came out pretty well but I need to push my darks. I will keep that in mind as we continue assignments with shading.

Midterm critique

This particular critique was very important because it was my midterm drawing. Our assignment was to do 2 point perspective with cross hatched shading. It also included the use of organizational line. The feedback I received was that I still need to work on making sure my lines go to the right points. And my cross hatching needed to in different directions for a more realistic picture. As we continue to work on perspective and shading, I’m sure mine will improve little by little.

Assignment number 4: 2 point perspective

  For this assignment, we were to chose an interior space and draw it in 2 point perspective along with the objects in it. I had a bit of trouble with this particular assignment because not everything that I drew points directly to the horizon line as it should. I got some constructive criticism to make it better. I learned that I need to make sure my horizon line is accurate and make sure that each object points to that line. It’ll also help to position other objects such as the bed and make it accurate according to the perspective. 

Drawing assignment #2

  
This is my organizational drawing for drawing II. It consists of a chair, a book, an easel, a detergent bottle, a belt, and a mirror stand. For certain objects, drawing and connecting the organizational lines were pretty easy. For some other objects, they were not. The critique we had in class helped me with knowing how to draw my lines better. I learned that I need to plot my angles better and get in a good spot so that I can get a strong perspective. Overall I’m still working on my organizational lines and skills and I will continue to work on it until it’s perfected. 

First drawing assignment.

This was very first contour assignment from my drawing class. I decided to draw the objects on my dorm dresser because it kind of gives of a sense my personality. I chose it because I had different objects that varied in sizes. I received some constructive feedback which could help me with my drawing more in the future. I learned that I needed to work on my perspective so that it appears more realistic.

Site specific art proposal

My proposal for my site specific art is to add and make something that I’m passionate about to a specific space. I decided to create a piano and add to a picture of the the Center for Performing Arts building. I felt like it needed a little something extra.  

    
 

Site-Specific art

Site specific art is art that is in special location that means something to the artist. The location has a special feel to it because of how the artist created it. The location can be anywhere. It can be indoors, outdoors, in the snow or in the presence of autumn leaves. These are some successful examples of site-specific artwork:
