Behance - Portfolio

-

 
    This week I had to tackle my portfolio again, but this time with this class! Before I compiled my work, I scrolled through the portfolios they had on the website, and I was more than surprised to see the number of artists with a wide range of selections in their portfolios. I suddenly remembered why I had to take this Three-dimensional course for my major- it’s to display that you have the capability and flexibility necessary for the arts. I have to take it upon myself not to master but understand that there are different mediums to work with and that I’m not confined to just one area of expertise. While I can specialize in that field, I can also show a greater understanding if I am more versatile.

    Going back to my portfolio, I wanted to make sure I caught my best work, including the various photography assignments, the animation, and the photoshopped work I had done for this class. I was afraid of copyright issues for the Imagine video, so I decided to go with my calcifer animation. While the work is clunky, I am proud of it for my first genuine animation attempt. I also included the “Portal to another world” assignment, in which I wanted to make sure that my fantasy vision was present. I had the Pinterest mood board images in there to better understand the thought process behind the finished painting. The final work I added to my portfolio was the edited and non-edited images we took for photography assignments. Again, I wanted to include the best photos I had and the warped images to display a variation in work.

Digital Art: Art made in the Digital Age & The Fluxus/Dada Movement

-

     Digital Art is a genuinely diverse section of art once examined. From Design, Film, and Video Games, digital art has proven to be more than the traditional canvases or sketchbooks; It has a form that can be manipulated and interpreted differently by the artist.       The history of Digital Art also spans far beyond what you'd initially think, as well. It's easy to believe that it was only until recently that digital art was defined by recent technology. But despite that belief, Digital art has had its roots spanning back to the early 1950s. Following the Dada and Fluxus movement, they formed this idea of rejecting what society accepted and embracing the unusual. It's somewhat similar to the Pop Art movement, only that it criticized American consumer culture. For example, think of popular Rock Star David Bowie! His compositions in music and fashion have embraced this very idea for his various personas as an artist.        I always believed digital art to

In a World of My Own - Photoshop Project

 Curiouser and curiouser! Down the rabbit hole we go-er- I mean down to Photoshop we go. For this week's project, I'm tasked with creating another dimension, a portal to another universe with the power of Photoshop! Despite my difficulty with the program, I found solace in Youtube tutorials and the modules. With proper effort and time, I found my way around it! Moving onto the project, I scanned through the possible entries and ideas I could put. I wanted elements of Myth, Fantasy, Melancholy, and maybe a touch of ominous and dark in its theme. Brainstorming is over; I ended up with a more light-hearted tone than I anticipated. I mostly found inspiration from movies such as  The Spiderwick Chronicles  and  Epic,  where they all center around nature and the little mythical creatures within .  Concept: I like the idea of world-building, and especially in animation studios, there are specific characteristics that need to be shown. For example, I wanted the color palette to have a

Copyright and The Art World

     If you're an artist trying to make a profit on the world wide web, you might be familiar with the copyright terms. Copyright is defined as "a type of intellectual property that protects original works of authorship as soon as an author fixes the work in a tangible form of expression." (What is copyright?) This means that an original work made by anyone has the moral right to said original content, that way, it prevents it from being stolen. Now, That's not to say that I can't use anyone else's work entirely, but it does mean that if I want to use someone else's work, I need to be reasonable about its usage. If I were to use all of someone's copyrighted material, I would be a risk for a copyright strike. As another artist, I could dispute it if it was under fair use- but be warned; I cannot abuse this ability too much. I remember seeing a copyright dispute happening to one of the YouTubers I watch: Kurtis Conner. (Check out his videos!!) Kurtis di
