These are a few of the inspirational images: 

Art Analysis

  With this project, I don't really have a clear picture of what its going to look like yet. All I have so far on the analysis is that the viking king above is the main "object" in the painting.

  Since he is a king, I figured giving him really fancy armor was the best way to make him the subject of the piece. The detail also provides the person looking at it with the ability to move around the piece. I will also put more details around the rest of the picture to keep the eyes shifting around it.

  I realise that there aren't a lot of days left in the school year, but detail is just something I have to incorperate into my art. Detail is just something I'm good at. I naturally hove an urge to apply it to all my drawings. It just makes the pictures look better. I don't expect to get done this by the last day, but I don't care. Its just something to do.

My Progress 4/30/13 DL

Here's what I got so far. I don't know what else to add, but I do know that I need to add something to it! I'll figure it out.

Weekly Goal - Jacob Kiester

By the end of this week, I hope to have the basics of the head of my character model complete.

DL Weekly Goal

My goal this week is to find something productive to do. I really can't think of anything to do right now. I mean, I'm done with my independent project. Well, I guess I can do some kind of an ad as suggested, but it'll have to be on Photoshop because that's where I feel most comfortable with. That's it! I'll promote my debut album! And I'll make it look awesome and have it be very time consuming so that I can continue to work on it for the rest of the time I'm here before SENIOR send-off.

Art Analysis

Art Analysis

Cheyenne Niemi

            In this piece of work, it’s clear that the main objective is the fox, yet at a closer inspection we can see that they image is not drawn or even painted, but portrayed through a collection of stars in a galaxy-like format. The image is constructed through colored stars and constellations.

            The artist may be trying to communicate the connection of animal life into space and how everything combines together into the cliché “Circle of Life”. Some viewers may see this art as a symbolic representation of possibly an astrological meaning such as Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer and so on. Also some religions find their identity at a special designated age through a representation of their “spirit animal”.

            The artist may have been heavily influenced by his surroundings especially if they happened to be an avid camper or possibly studied astronomy; both are very plausible connection to the stars. The artist may have found interest in foxes through zoology or maybe thee fox could simply be his favorite animal.

            I believe that this piece of work evokes the emotion of newfound discovery and unearthed findings. Along with new revelations comes the feeling of happiness and new significant purpose. Despite its simple objective image, this celestial image can bring new elements of emotion to the viewer.

            This particular piece of work was illustrated through stars and astral bodies in order to accurately characterize the fox and its meaning. The entire image would have changed if the fox were constructed out of leaves and branches, which would consequently develop a relationship with earth and nature rather than space.

            Not only is this piece visually pleasing, but it also appeals to the function aspect of art. The astronomical fox could very well be used to portray ancient stories of the constellations in addition to the use of the depiction of some type of ancient ancestor.

            This piece of work is directly related with our modern society as the exploration and knowledge of outer space has expanded a great deal. Our government knows more information about the moon than our own oceans to put things in perspective. Ever since the early civilizations, such as the Mayans, people have been fascinated with planetary bodies. Within the past few decades our world has made huge leaps and bounds in order to better understand space itself. This image has a direct correlation with the new findings in space and the never-ending search to expand the understanding of the universe.

            As mentioned earlier, many cultures found attraction to the stars, which resulted in many early representations of them through saved calendars and paintings, yet none of these societies observed them as art but more of a functional almanac used for farming.

            This piece is reflective of my idea, based on the fact that I want to portray an animal through smaller images similar to this image in almost a collage fashion. On the contrary, my image will differ, with the lack of astronomical elements.

04-26 Attempting a Platformer

I'm attempting Stencyl I suppose. I think I'll try a platformer game. I will have inspiration and analysis up later this weekend probably!

We had also tried to scan marks map but for what ever reason I would not scan correctly. Mark helped

Week 1

This week i completed the model of the case as well as the camera cutout which was an unexpected obstacle. The case is now up to apple specs and I will begin on the artistic aspect of the case.

Independent project in progress

I still need to add more lighting from the fire, more color and more values throughout, other than that, I'm approaching the final product!

NickSanford.Alien Species?

In this image, I think the artist is trying to say that there are so many different things that can go on in a human mind and everyone has different things going on in their head. Things that could have influenced the artist's work could have been that he had a lot on his/her mind and everything on his/her mind is just a huge jumbled mess. Some of it may have been distracting and some of it may have been important things in his/her life. This artwork could evoke many different emotions. One emotion could be stress with everything all congested and full. Another emotion could be happy or success. In the image there are money signs so it could be that he was successful with things in his life. Since you can't actually see what is really going on in a person's mind, I think this portrays what a person's mind really could look like, it goes into depth and shows how crazy a mind can be. This piece is a little different than what I was wanting to do. In mine I'm going to research a certain person and find everything they like, have gone through in their life, want to do in their life, and so on to portray what could possibly be going on in their m

Proposal

For my project I will be doing a piece that explains what goes on in two different minds that have a connection. They are my two favorite music artists, Jade Castrinps and Alex Ebert from Edward Sharpe    & the Magentic Zeros. Because of how close they are when you see them perform I am going to try to bring out what I think would go on in their mind, whether it be about music, art, each other, love, and life.
