The piece is made with watercolour. There is an astronaut in space alone and in the background there are planets and in the center, there is the death star. I start my art by drawing a pencil circle with a stencil. Then I drew the astronaut and then I started painting the planets with watercolour then I painted the astronaut and then I painted the background black with a sprinkle of salt to make the effect of stars. The theme of my piece is abandonment. I show this by putting the astronaut all alone in space with no one around. My goal for my piece was to make an interesting piece that was fun to look at and had character. I really like my art, I think my art is pretty cool.

My artwork is a part of me, it is 5 air balloons, one is very colourful and large all the others are black and the same size, this project is very meaningful to me because I never fit in and this project represents that. I am very different then all other people. My work is called “I am Free”, I choose this because when I think of this project I think of being free. I used watercolour for the background because I thought I would be able to blend it better, it worked, I chose black ink for the baskets because it becomes darker then paint, I also used tissue paper for the balloons because it made them stand out. I got my inspiration from my mom, she always told me I was different, and stood out. I tried to show that everyone is free and different. My goal as an artist is to become someone that can sit down and have ideas of something amazing. This piece of art helped me achieve this goal because I have some other ideas from this project. I learned that planning this project helped a lot because I could get all my ideas onto paper and not miss anything. The final piece is exactly what I planed for it to be. I loved working on this project. ]]> 2020-06-02 16:10:19 UTC https://padlet.com/martha_bilton/y3o36y5zmy8n9bfw/wish/607210121 milascholz1_1 https://padlet.com/martha_bilton/y3o36y5zmy8n9bfw/wish/607270017 (click for better resolution)]]> 2020-06-02 16:39:38 UTC https://padlet.com/martha_bilton/y3o36y5zmy8n9bfw/wish/607270017 milascholz1_1 https://padlet.com/martha_bilton/y3o36y5zmy8n9bfw/wish/607270942 Digital Illustration
My artwork is centred around a D’onofrio (Ice-cream brand) worker, sitting on his tricycle, that contains my favourite ice-creams, which are pictured in the background. The D’onofrio slogan is curved around the back wheel of the tricycle, and the logo is curved along the front of the cart. I decided to use D’onofrio Ice-cream as the theme for my piece because it was something that I would see on a daily basis during my childhood. The ice-cream tricycles would always wait outside of my school, and on special days once school was over, I would be allowed to get some ice-cream with friends. I tried to keep the emotion of my artwork bright and cheerful to portray the happiness that everybody felt when they saw the D’onofrio tricycles. I enjoyed trying out a new medium when creating my piece, and hope to use it more in the future. ]]> 2020-06-02 16:40:04 UTC https://padlet.com/martha_bilton/y3o36y5zmy8n9bfw/wish/607270942 ashleyni1_1 https://padlet.com/martha_bilton/y3o36y5zmy8n9bfw/wish/607326854 Digital Illustration

Black lining was done by a chalk pen with a white border effect, turnip pen for small white highlights and white lining, flat oil brush for shapes and color, and a basic oil paintbrush for the rest. The technique used for making the clear highlights was painting down where they would be in white then lowering the opacity of the layer. Brush stabilization was at around 80 when doing straight lines or large curves. The process is quite simple: roughly paint in the basic shapes, start to go in with some more colour, add lining, details, shadows/highlights/.The goal for the creation of this piece was to help me better understand the fundamentals of digital art, and hopefully make me more interested in it.

I created my artwork using various techniques. For example, I used pencil drawing to draw the astronaut and then I used watercolor to color in the background. In addition, I tried using salt to make white dots in the sky to create a star effect. My drawing shows a sense of isolation because space is an abyss; there are no sounds, not air, and most importantly, no life. Being isolated in space means that you are literally being isolated from all forms of life. My overall thought for my piece of art is amazing. I never thought I could draw an astronaut in such detail and create such an abstract work of art. This piece of art influenced me to create more art like this because I think pencil and watercolor really stands   out.

This piece is very creative as I interpreted the colors into the background with the mountains. I learned that warm colors can really help the contrast of the image. I would like to do a bigger picture painting and do mountains and will make warm colors on one side and do cool colors on the other side.

It features two planets on opposite sides of the image with two people on top of them facing outwards. They are connected by a dotted red line and on the bottom in the center is the title. I created my image using Adobe photoshop. I started with a blank workbook and added blue to the background. I found black and white 2d globes and coloured them blue and green. Next I removed the backgrounds from the people and added them on top of the globes. I created the dotted line above them and the text at the bottom. I coloured, edited, and added a drop shadow. I created this because the first day i saw my friends and we all had to stand in a circle 6 feet apart, it felt so weird. It felt like we weren't even together. 6 feet felt like a world. I am very proud of this image. Although it may seem simple, I put time and thought into it and that makes me proud.]]> 2020-06-05 06:27:04 UTC https://padlet.com/martha_bilton/y3o36y5zmy8n9bfw/wish/612387960 giuliasostermaich1_1 https://padlet.com/martha_bilton/y3o36y5zmy8n9bfw/wish/619256276 My artwork is based on my life in Brazil. The broken flag represents both my broken relationships and the unsafe country, which is the main reason as to why we left. The bright sun and the house, that is also broken signifies my family which I left behind and the sun brings back memories of playing outside. The middle piece is the most important to me as it reminds me of my family. I rarely see my family and many times feel distant emotionally as I barely talk to them. My family has members that are rather old and as we only visit once a year it scares us to think they could pass and we wouldn't be there. The last piece is based on two cartoon characters that were mentioned in a song that my mom used to sing to me , it’s a song that I love as it reminds me of my old home. The song is called "fico assim sem você" which roughly translates to "this is how I feel/am without you". For the background I used watercolours that are like a sunset because it would bring out the colour in the rest of the painting. The rest of the paintings are in acrylic paint to make them stand out. The whole painting has cracks throughout it to unite the piece in an ironic way, by separating and breaking all of the art. This was the last photo I took of it before completion, the finished painting does not have a photo as it is in my art class.]]> 2020-06-09 17:13:52 UTC https://padlet.com/martha_bilton/y3o36y5zmy8n9bfw/wish/619256276 mattiasnegris https://padlet.com/martha_bilton/y3o36y5zmy8n9bfw/wish/619570849 2020-06-09 20:48:59 UTC https://padlet.com/martha_bilton/y3o36y5zmy8n9bfw/wish/619570849 mattiasnegris https://padlet.com/martha_bilton/y3o36y5zmy8n9bfw/wish/619571911 Created 2020 of May]]> 2020-06-09 20:49:51 UTC https://padlet.com/martha_bilton/y3o36y5zmy8n9bfw/wish/619571911
