Lockers- Precisionism

This is painting is inspired by Lewandowski. These are the lockers in E-Building. I like my color concept ,but i did not know that precisionism did not have texture in it. So I wish that I could re-do this piece over to match what precisionism is.

Collage- A Spinnaker Sail

This collage was inspired by Derek Gores. It is a collage of a spinnaker sail. The whole process of making this project took a very long time. I am satisfied with the background but not so on the sail itself.

Violin

The assignment for this piece was a mock advertisement for an instrument that incorporates music notes. I like this piece. I thought this was very easy for me since I play the violin ,and I just used my old music notes from middle school and from the past three years.

Black and white logo

The assignment was to create a black and white logo from something that is in your pocket or purse. Well this is definitely not my favorite piece so far. That is all I have to say....

Mock Advertisement

The assignment for this page was to create a mock advertisement for formal wear that demonstrates good typography. I really like this piece because I was obsessed with looking for prom dresses at the time I was creating this piece.  

Desk

This is my second altered book page. The assignment was a desk or table that incorpates words. The inspiration for this piece was actually my bedroom. My bedroom actually does not look like this , but this is how it used to look. I think that this is ok. I could have done better with the desk ,and I should have added a little bit more stuff to the right side of the page.

Abstract Machine

This is my first altered book pages. The theme was to create an abstract machine. The "abstract machine" was supposed to be a washing machine and those are the clothes drying on the clothes line. This is not one my favorites , but hey it was my time doing something like this.

Environmental Portait : Texting in Class

The inspiration for this piece was from Rory Kurtz. This is was originally a picture of my friend, Morgan Jackson, and she wanted me to take a picture of her looking at her phone in Honors Orchestra. It was in color when I first took the picture but she edited it so it can be in black and white when she posted it on facebook. I took that same concept of it being in black and white ,and I decided to corporate some color into it. So as a result, I painted the background and the color of her skin in black and white. Then, I painted her clothes, boots, earrings, and phone in color since she is the main focus of the piece. I am really satisfied of the overall result of the painting. The only thing that I would change about it is that I should have painted her face in color along with the rest of her clothes.

Typography





My first artwork was inspired by David Carson and the use of typography. The best thing that I like about this piece is the color scheme. Since purple is my second favorite color and also the color of my birth stone,  decided to use it along with black and gray. I used the dabbing technique to create the texture of the art piece. What I learned during the process of making this piece, was to have my idea ready before hand , and also know exactly what you want to put on the paper.
