No, just Ryan is fine

I chose Animation because I'm really interested in visual storytelling through movement and feeling. I feel more comfortable telling stories with moving or sequential images.

Although I do want to work in animation, my biggest dream is to one day make a comic that can resonate with people.

I really like the kpop group Stray Kids. I found their music during quarantine and they have a wide range of tones and emotions that I resonate with heavily. They also produce all of their music themselves (which is uncommon in kpop) and I admire their hard work and passion towards their craft. My favorite song by them currently is COMFLEX.

I am incredibly passionate about my characters and the stories

I make with them. I use them to express my emotions that i cant normally and what I want to see in media. I'm almost always thinking about and working on them.

Simple

It uses non complex shapes to create the feeling of items on a surface. Despite this, it has a lot of charm to it. For example, the usage of colors is really good, they're all pretty similar hue wise, but then you have splashes of brighter reds and yellows to guide your eye. Furthermore, the brushwork is a bit shaky which adds a nice texture and visual flair. It's also very obvious Morandi is knowledgeable in how lighting affects value, the shadows all follow the same direction (to the right), leading us to believe the ligh source is coming from the left. All in all, I was almost deceived by how simple it seemed, but through further analysis, the nuances of it make themselves known.

An avant garde jack of all trades (sculpting, painting, fashion, writing)

Born in Japan 1929, she had a fascination with art from a young age. Her mother, however, was not privy to this idea. She would throw away her art supplies and rip up her art, telling her that she was not allowed to and that she would one day have to “marry someone from a rich family and become a housewife”.

Working for home re-contextualized the space of the usual still lives I do in class. There is a severe lack of space as opposed to the classroom. Therefore I had to really hanker down and practice not only measuring, but also different compositions. I also tried not to focus too heavily on one aspect of the drawing, as I often have a problem with.

I still struggled with capturing proportions accurately, and then had issues with making different compositions. One of them was really bad. I tried to remedy this by taking a step back and then moving my still life to another corner of my room.

I see great emphasis placed on the figure in the center through spacing and contrast of shapes.
