Stop Motion

So for computers the final project was a movie....either stop motion or a legit movie.  For mine I decided to kill two birds with one stone; my stop motion was of me Jackson Pollocking my plaster molds for my 3D class. In my 3D class we had to make at least 15 molds of one object, so I made 16 plaster molds of a scope bottle. Then we had to organize our objects in a slightly unconventional manner, so I organized mine in the chemical structure of Methylphenidate. This is commonly found in ADD and ADHD medication. The contrast between the ordered structure of the Methylphenidate and the chaos that is splatter painting are supposed to be physical representations of how ADHD medications affect the user. These kind of medications attempt to bring order to the inattentive and chaotic mind of a person who has ADHD. For the actual stop motion, it wasn't anything too exciting and since there wasn't a plot to it that meant I shouldn't use music set to lyrics. Since I personally find the action and execution of splatter painting breathtaking I choose music that set that kind of mood.  I also added sounds of city traffic to add to the fact that I was executing this project at school. Overall, I like how they both turned out.

Self Portrait Composite

Had to make a self portrait of ourselves by compositing different textures, past artworks,  and experimenting with layers in Photoshop.  Overall this is the favorite thing I've done in Photoshop this year in foundations computers!

Type minis

For our first Adobe Illustrator assignment in my foundations computers, we were asked to use type four different ways. One had to be representational, non-representational, expressionistic, and auto-biographical. My representational piece is a butterfly with the word butterfly repeated dozens of times over. To create the effect of the wings, I downed the opacity of the repeated image of the word "butterfly" and made them smaller and overlap them to give the affect of the wings shrinking into space. The figure of the butterfly itself was taken from a picture off the internet and conformed the words to fit within the shape. The calender piece is supposed to be my non-representational one and is the word calender repeated over and over again with a downed opacity again. Mirror-Mirror is my expressionistic piece. And finally the autobiographical piece is the one with the words Jeans, jellybean, eccentric, adorable, nostalgic, spacey.
