Chop Print

This piece is a printing of my own personal logo. The material I used was similar to that of an eraser. It was easy to carve into but the challenging part was the shavings that were left over in the gaps. I used line space, value and balance for this piece.

Lino Black & White

In this assignment I had to carve out another personal design. I chose the song "Que Sera Sera" as an inspiration to my own design. I carved a rattle because according to the song the audience include all young women. After carving out the spaces of the design that were meant to be white I went over the whole lino wood with black pain and pressed it against plain paper. 

Silk Screen

In this assignment I first had to create a personal design for silk screening. I then chose 3 colors and divided the design itself according to the color. In order for the design to show I had to use a lot of negative space and a variety of lines and colors. The piece itself is called "El Delrado" seeing as I was inspired by the cartoon movie itself. 

Flower

In this assignment I chose a flower and zoomed in on the main part of the flower. The flower I chose was the birds of paradise because of the fiery color the petals have and the interesting shape it is. I used acrylic paint for this paint along with the artistic elements of line, color, shape and space

Chuck Close

 

In this assignment I used acrylic and Chuck closes technique to create a painting of my dear mother. The First step was to grid the original photo itself and the board itself. I used different shades of brown and shapes in order to create an abstract background and overall image. For the face itself I did not use every specific square but instead blended different skin tones to incorporate the whole picture. I used space, line, color consistently throughout the piece. 

Timeline

For this assignment I chose to show the development of jewelry/ accessories throughout the years in both Western and non-western parts of the world. The timeline begins in 1000 CE and finishes in the present. The tope part of the timeline consists of non-western items and the bottom of western items. I used the Met Museum website which contains timelines itself and a map with differentiating eras of all forms of art.
