Final Print (Gesture)

There is a cool brush in illustrator that I decided to use to make a fiery gesture. The background is difference clouds from Photoshop, symbolizing smoke.

It refused to print.

Gesture Artist

Ingred Calame - American artist that focuses one the often overlooked. Her work appears to use negative space very well, and I feel like the longer one looks at her art, the more s/he will see.

I isolated one dancer from one of Degas' paintings, and the quotes are about dance, innocence, and beauty.

The Beauty of Friendship

Originally, I wanted to model my collage after the work of Gemma Leys--her work gave a warm feeling and it reminded me of the great friendship I have with Chaviely (my best friend featured in my collage). However, I opted to change my collage from the sepia tone that I had to the normal tonal scale it had. With that, I searched again for possible artists. It was not easy by any means, and the only one that I found that came close was Richard Hamilton. Through this project, I was able to observe the many different types of collages and learn that the way I first learned collage is far from the only or best way to do it.

This collage contains letters that Chaviely has sent me as well as some images of ones I have sent her. The background is of a bridge in Duluth, MN where we spent some time on my 17th birthday. Most of the drawings are hers, although a few are mine. This collage is filled with memories of a great friendship.

The Bedroom at Arles, Vincent Van Gogh

Matthew 7:13-14

Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

Narrative: I cobbled out the images of the fences as well as those of the explosions and the cross. As for the pathway and the road, I cut out the sky so that the background itself would be the sky. I put an overly over both gates, light on the left and dark on the right. I used a gradient overlay on the sky, fading from transparent to black. The layers containing the figures are set to a lower opacity. I also used the clone stamp tool in order to clean up the gates and roads.
