Post It Note Art

Alright who else thinks post it notes are boring? Same here, till we found a great way to make art with them. How about a portrait of a person......hmmmmmm.......how about Paul Walker?

Paul Walker in the making, haha too bad it doesn't look like him yet. He will be able to be seen a bit of distance involved.

Look like him now? Cool right? Haha Grayson standing next to him, say "Hi Grayson."

Animated Walk Cycle

So lately we have been working on animation in photoshop. That means time to learn the walk cycle, but what is unique about this flamingo is that it has a backwards walk cycle. Flamingos knees bend the other way, that is compared to us, so their walk cycle is technically backwards, as far as animation goes.

Cinemagraph

OMG!!! How is this possible, a jump rope turning without its turner! Some say its movie magic, some say its just magic, others say its not possible. Thanks to careful timeline placement in photoshop, I present to you the self turing jump rope.

Picture frame

One of our projects in Photoshop was to take a picture of ourselves holding just a picture frame. The next task was to fill the picture frame with our personality. I really like the cold, and mountains so I picked a mountain scene for my picture frame. Although it was missing something, jump rope. I love to jump rope it is my passion, so with a little artistic talent I managed to jump on the mountains.

Highlights

In my other post I posted a picture of my painting, but I wanted to talk a little bit about why I painted this scene. The painting is supposed to be depicting an apple orchard that I go to with my family every year. I look forward to going to Sky Top Orchard every year and picking fresh apples and drinking fresh apple cider and apple donuts.


After painting, we played around with light art, by keeping the shutter open on a camera for ten seconds....

Haha you like my touch ups to Megan

I think Carly is ready for a trip to the beach.

Hey look im jumping rope!

Also after going to the zoo I decided to make a new animal......Horsearilla

Illustrations

After our unit of comic art, we dove right into to illustrations......

First thing is to answer a few questions about illustrations.
1. What does it mean to be a free-lance artists?
Its an artists that isn't assigned to one job and they get paid for the project they are working on.
2. What does an illustrators portfolio consists of?
An illustrators portfolio consists of all their finished art, so when asked about it, they can show all their work that is kept in it.
3. What does it mean to have a illustration style?
What it means to have an illustration style is that the way you create and design art is done in your own way, so therefore it is unique to you.

Up next is what I illustrated for the word of the day......NOISE

Here are a few more things I made during the illustration unit

Comic Art

Comic Art Unit

To start off the comic art unit I decided to make a collage of some off my favorite comic characters, and animated cartoons. I really enjoyed making the collage, and was sad that I ran out of room to put more.


After enjoying the cutting and pasting of many of my favorite cartoons, and comics I decided to then make the skeleton of Chip the chipmunk from Chip 'n' Dale. As the drawing kept going, the more the drawing scared me. I seriously thought I would never love Chip anymore because he looks so scary.

Finally, when I finished Chips bones I then moved on to making a comic, similar to the ones you might find in the Sunday paper. The comic I had created is about a stupid wolf, and the whole cartoon is based off an actual cartoon called "Stupid Fox." Although the cartoon is not finished, the words are all there, just needs some more coloring. While creating the comic so far, I used color pencils, a black sharpie, and some nice watercolor paints.
Now its time to answer some questions:
What is the difference between Anime and Manga?-Anime is an animated TV show, while manga is a book series.
What is the difference between a graphic novel and a comic book?- A graphic novel has more of a linear story-line, as opposed to a comic book where the character faces many issues all throughout the story.
How are panels designed and layout in comic books, graphic novels, ect?-
The panels are made of different size frames, or single panels. Depending on the layout of the story is the comic book, or graphic novel was written backwards to forwards, or from right to left instead of the other way around.
