Interactive Media Art

This is my final for the Aesop's Fable. BTW, "interactive media" includes books. Imagine. Anyway, there's more of a description of the project in an earlier post.

Environment & Asset Building

We created a 2 point perspective drawing of a staircase, then created a second drawing using that. Getting the first drawing correct nearly killed me. It felt like math class all over again.

Aesop's Fable Project

We are creating two anthropomorphic characters for a retelling of an Aesop's fable of our choice. I'm developing a cookie and a squash. I've chosen "The Pig and the Sheep", the moral of which is: "It's easy to be brave when you're safe."

Life Drawing

A couple of shorter poses.

Life Drawing

We keep a sketch book and draw in it for at least 30 min per week. I get mine done by drawing the other passengers on the bus ride to school.

I know, she's been abused in this way before.  We had to imagine an ad campaign, and then create an image for it using a famous painting, and come up with 3 tag lines.  Mine was for a cream meant to reduce fine wrinkles on the face, in particular around the mouth.  

Keep the timeless beauty of your smile.

Interpretive Illustration

We were given pre-existing cartoons (by the great MAD magazine artist Sergio Aragoneso) and had to come up with and draw the last panel for each one. This is my favourite example:  I drew the scuba diving cat.

We were to find a photograph of a common item, draw it, then re-draw it using a cubist approach.

We practiced using brushes in Photoshop to change the mood of Matisse's original drawing.

We were to use a photograph to create a celebrity caricature. Mine were on the subtle side, to say the least. More of a portrait of the artist as an old man than a caricature. I admit that I am not much a fan of the genre.

We had to create these in class. It was the first class, I'd never drawn in pubic like that before, I'd never used a tablet to draw with or Photoshop 6 (we have 4 at home.)  Man, I felt like I was drawing with my left hand.  What an AWFUL experience.
