Scratchboard art

In Illustration class, we learned how to use scratchboard to make interesting arts. I made this frog on a piece of scratchboard and used Photoshop to color it in. He is an awesome frog. It looks like he’s giving a speech.

Juried show

I entered my Mario video into a juried show at my school. I don’t know if it’ll win anything or even get picked for the show but you can’t win if you don’t enter, as all the teachers in the art department were telling us. I guess we’ll see what happens. I’m a little nervous about it, to be honest. I also don’t really know much about the show since I’ve never done this before and I wasn’t even planning on entering until the very last day for submissions when I learned that we could put digital media in the show too. Who knows?

Update: Mario didn’t get into the show. Oh well, there’s always next year.

Best Christmas Ever

This was the last regular assignment from that same intro to computer art class. We were supposed to create a Flash animation that told a story from our past with voice-over narration. I chose a very silly story and it was a lot of fun to animate.

Here’s a link to it in case the video doesn’t work.

Fun with Flash

This was also made for the same class as all the others. We were supposed to use Flash to make an abstract composition change over time. I may have gone a little crazy with it. The real assignment loops as well which is nifty. I’m still a Flash newbie but it’s fun to mess with.

Attack of the octopodes

This is another assignment from the same class as the previous posts. This time the assignment was to take a 10 second video of ourselves and do something interesting with rotoscoping using Photoshop. I chose to create some sort of one-eyed octopus creature.

Harmonic abstraction

This assignment was also for an intro computer art class. The assignment was to create three abstract compositions in styles similar to works by abstract artists of the early to mid 1900s. All three of these are based on works by Kandinsky.

Kangaraffgle

This assignment was for an intro computer art class. We were supposed to combine existing animals to make a new animal and then put it in its natural environment. This is the kangaraffgle and he likes to hang out in art galleries.
