BBC Poster

We had an assignment to make a BBC poster inspired by this guy.

This is my first one (I haven’t done the second one yet):

I really like this piece and it wasn’t too hard to make. The story I used is this. Errr… I can’t get BBC to open on the computer I am on right now, so I will have to link it later. I will give a brief summary, though. Apparently, Italy cut funding of art museums by 40% (or something close to that. the point is that it was a huge percentage). So, to protest, a museum is burning 3 art pieces a week. Artist are backing this protest, too. The tank in my piece is made out of one of the pieces that was burn. It was painted by a french artist. Once I get the link, you can get more details.

Ah-ha! Here is the link: LINK

A New Oil Painting

This is my second oil painting to ever do. I really like this piece. It is a fun painting. She is kind of like a modern-day aristocrat lady.

Photoshop Face Assignment

In photography, we had an assignment to transpose our face onto a “famous” person. I found this picture in a Hunger Games magazine. I had to scan it and my teacher had to help me get the fold line off of the picture from the original scan. (There was a huge crease going right across his face.)

This is what I came out with. I worked really hard on it and I think it worked out well. My photography teacher too the original picture of me which I took my face from. We had to match the lighting so I could actually transpose my face convincingly. This project was really fun.

Travel Advertisement Posters

I painted this with watercolor and acetone. The clock face is the actual face of Big Ben from a picture with some filters. I intended on doing it by hand, but the due date was too close. When I get some free time, I intend on doing the clock face by hand.

This is the one I spent the most time on. I drew the picture in pencil with all of the shading and detail, then I went on photoshop and used a color layer to add the color. Then I added the black and brownish border and words with photoshop, too. I really like this piece. Oh, and tons of people told me the lady statue looks like a man with boobs. The reason for this is because I used a reference picture of an actual statue at Versailles. The sculptures were inspired by Greek sculpture. In ancient Greece, women would not model nude, so artist got men to model for them and made them feminine and added boobs to sculpt women. That is why she looks a bit manly.

Another Art Piece and Good News!

I did this piece at the end of 2011, but I forgot to upload it. This is one of the pieces that got into the award-winning literary and art magazine at my school. Oh, I forgot to post that I got featured artist in that magazine which is amazing. I am the first sophomore to get that honor!

Art Assignment Poop

I like the lady whose head is a tree, but I don’t like the guy with a outlet face. I didn’t have much time to work on him. These are illustrations for our sandman cover assignment. Another comic book cover assignment? Wow. I hate comic books and designing comic book covers. I hope this will be our last comic book assignment. Anyway, the tree lady was painted with watercolor and then I added stuff in photoshop because I had to. The outlet face guy was painted in oils (my first ever oil painting) and then edited on photoshop. Don’t look at it. It’s really bad. My art teacher forced me to put it on here.

 

EDIT: I deleted the terrible one! 🙂
