Light Exposure: The Digital Way

This week's assignment in my photography class is to mostly play around with light, aka "Light Exposure." I took this photo with my digital camera, and edited it. I love shadows photos!

Why I love art?

This blog is dedicated to why I love art! It's all about creating, not creative. Creating, is doing/action, creative is describing. I realize after awhile of working on my texture project that took up four hours of my day, the time went fairly fast, and I was not really stressed. I admit, I did save the project to the last minute. I knit, and this semester, I planned to knit a lot, but it seems like I always have a sketch pad instead of a pair of knitting needles in my hands. It came to the point of where I'm getting my first personal sketchpad instead of using my
class's sketchpad. I just got back from Micheal's, I finally broke down and got more Bristol paper for class. I mainly use Bristol paper for big projects, and when it's required from class. Art is a great way of doing creativity, and to express God's love and creation.

I just thought I'd share some of my adoration for God's art and creation!

Typography & Gray Value Scale

This weekend I will be finishing up painting the typography & gray scale. I have to finish painting the background of the 11x14 gray. With typography, I am using Chinese symbols for 'food' and a bowl of noodles in between the symbols. We also have to demonstrate the gray value scale (black to very light gray). I am hoping to get it done later tonight or tomorrow.

More updates coming soon!

Romance Texture Project Part 2.

Well this is the post dedicated to the project "Romance" Texture project in my Graphic Design class. Currently, due to blogger's maintenance, sadly, I will not be able to upload the photos until they get things figured out. Until then, I will keep saving the drafts of this blog entry. I decided to do the texture theme based upon dating, love, marriage to honor God. As the layout goes, the tree branches are shaped like a heart, with leaves and rocks surrounding the branches to give more effect of a heart. The leaves and branches represent Adam and Eve's garden, as well as the flowers. The Hershey chocolate wrappers represents gifts, and there is also a pink heart with the verse to go along the theme. (The verses are down below). At the top of of the foam board, white (symbolizes purity), letters that spell 'Romance' are painted.

THE VERSES:
1.) "Love is patient, Love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud." (1 Corinthians 13: 4" [I had wrote this with sharpie for it to stand out on the board, and to add more color to the project. It is on the pink heart, along with drawn vines.]

2.) "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God, he created him; male and female." (Genesis 1:27) [It was a tie between these two verses, relating to the theme. However, to me, 1 Cor. 13:4 had the project best.]

I will go ahead and post this blog to give you more anticipation for a part 3 with the photos! Also, you will get more of my projects on here as the semester goes on. Enjoy!
