Thanksgiving Break Art

I made this piece first in my sketchbook. I was trying different styles of typography and various word art with my favorite band names. When I showed it to Grouplove, one of them thought it looked like it was coming out of an elephant trunk. Which gave me another idea.

Then I took that idea and made this. Realizing I had this elephant, I knew I had to then make something for the band Cage The Elephant, because well... Elephants.

This became the final product. It's kind of my own version of CD album art for Cage The Elephant.

Weekly Challenge 7

For weekly challenge seven we used a green screen to create a new piece of art.

Silk Painting

I would give my self a AP score of  a 4 for these reasons:
4.A The work shows a good investigation of a variety of 2-D design principles. I explored the design principals of emphasis, balance, and movement.

·       4.B The work demonstrates some originality, some innovative thinking, and purposeful manipulation of the elements and principles of 2-D design. I was inspired by the artist Heather Brown, and I used her style, but in my own way.

·        4.F The work demonstrates good technical competence and use of materials and media; technical aspects and articulation of ideas do not always work together. I executed my technical skill by keeping all the ink within the tight spaces between the resist.
