ART 122-01, Week # 7 (Catching up on blogs)

So, I am weeks behind. I'm gonna be posting a bunch up til now.

In this class, we have a manifesto that we need to do for our final. It needs to be 200-something words incorporated into a graphic design element.

Honestly, I'm not sure what to do. I've seen the examples provided but I still do not know what to go for that I know how to do. Drawing is my main thing, but computer programs are not- and while it is possible to learn at least enough to get this assignment done, I have four other finals due for other classes- in three weeks. (Maybe four).

On one hand I should try to do something that is outside my comfort zone, but I am afraid of biting off more than I can chew. I will have to mull over what sounds best to me. I'm leaning toward a comic- but maybe I can try at illustrator to do it? But then printing it out and binding it and.. I dunno- it can be done, but I would rather just upload it directly here and click through pages. I will have to talk with my instructor about it.

HAHA, I lied my final logo was indeed shabby. 

But intentionally? 

I might post a picture later, but pretty much it was the word "GrassHoppers" made to look a little like a grasshopper and then small letters for "Ugandan Bar & Grill". The words were white, but the outline was green, and the background looked like a sunset, done in colored pencil. Out of our group, I feel that Jeremy's was the best, but we all did well. 

Everyone had cool names, but "Crimson Lily" was my favorite. Sounds like a fancy hole in the wall. Can holes in walls be fancy? I think so. Precious gems.

Anyway, we were given an idea for our final for the class. I believe this class was the one that was the letter block? Like, we have to carve out a letter out of linoleum. I could be wrong- I sort of mistake the two classes for each other. The other final project was a manifesto. As long as I have both done by Monday and carry them around with me I can't go wrong. 

It is bitingly cold out.

ART 122-01, Week #9 (Gotta Catch'um up.)

WELL, the end of the semester is upon everybody. We have precisely two weeks. I feel as though I am starting to feel the heat.

In this class, I have  a manifesto to finish, and then drawings to put to the manifesto, in a storybook format. I feel like it may not look as polished, but maybe it will? My goal is to have audio playing over it. Either it will be myself speaking over the drawings, or there will be text and some neutral music in the background. I dunno.

In the other class we have stamps to do.

Then in the others, I have a full greyscale painting, a full painting using four colors and their tints and shades. Then four color studies. Then three photography assignments. Just-- feeling the heat here. I take so long to decide on a direction to go, and it's eating up time, and I dunno why it takes me so long? But it does and.. I dunno. If everything turns out great I guess I can justify it.

Full size here. This is a sort of blanket response to the questions I get this time every year about what various Lackadaisy characters would wear for Halloween.  

I thought of dressing them up as early 20th Century icons and people of historical relevance - you know, something vaguely intellectual - but then I got distracted by the amazing, abominable craft-work concoctions pictured up top.  Well, I couldn’t not draw that.

(The topmost images are mostly from Dennison’s Bogie Books of the 1920s.  They’re a hoot.) Happy Halloween, everyone!
