This piece is titled “The Cinelli’s” and it portrays my current house that I have lived in with my family for my entire life. My biggest focus on this work was the neatness and overall precision of the linework for the foundation of the house. I wanted to make sure I was able to get the perfect shape that my closely reflects my house in real life. Without doing that, I felt like the meaning of the piece would be lost. Much of the facade of my house is made with grey bricks, so I wanted to make sure I maintained the overall look of the house by making them a focal point of the piece.
“Smile” is the title of this piece. The main idea of this piece is to focus on the brightness of the work and the feeling of happiness it provides. The focal point of the piece is the smile on the figure. The figure is my friend Thomas who is always smiling, so I wanted to make sure that quality was what people see first when they look at the piece. I decided to put the sunburst design in the background to give even more brightness to the art work. I also used a curved line to give the word “smile” a sense that it is smiling.
This is my logo design. I was tasked to create a logo that represents who I am. So i decided to make what you see above. The design is a beanie that is asleep. This represents both a thing I love and one of my main personality traits. The Beanie is something that I wear almost everyday and it being asleep resembles my laziness. I also wanted to make sure it had all round edges to give more of a sense of comfort and the colors red and blue which are not only my favorite colors but are also two colors that give off a comforting feeling
This piece is called “mountains”. The main objectives I wanted to direct my attention to were making the mountains feel simple by using simple triangular shapes and blend of greys that progressively gets lighter as it goes up the mountains. I also wanted to make sure the sky was both pretty and easy on the eye. That is how I reached the decision to make it purple. I also faded it to make sure it gave the feeling of a sunset happening. Also the path in the center of the screen gave the whole art work a sense of depth.
This piece is called “Shoe Repetition”. This work of art is supposed to display my randomness. I attempted to make the shoes look like they are both placed randomly on the piece but also make it have a pattern if you really look. I did this by throwing together different patterns and also putting different effects on the shoes. I started by grouping different patterns of shoes together and then made some transparent and made other different by adding cool designs to each group. This further enhanced the randomness of the piece but also giving some structure to it at the same time
