The Stain-glassed Hummingbirds

This is my second rainbow project. I decided to do hummingbirds and put stained glass behind them. There isn't exactly a rainbow but the colors are close. It was interesting to see which hummingbirds looked better when the stained glass was put behind the. I used a filter for the lily because I didn't want to loose its coloring.

The Rainbow Swan Lake

This is my version of Swan Lake. The swans morph into ballerinas from left to right. I was inspired by the silhouettes of dancers that I found online. I kept the big swan black because I wanted it to be a focal point. It also represents one of the transformation stages...the main one. It took me a while to figure out what I was going to do, but once I figured it out everything was pretty easy.

Ice Trays For Sale!

This is my ad for ice cubes! I have always loved the awesome trays that can make weird shaped ice so I chose to do an ad for that! If only I could own all of them.

Julia Barello

Julia Barello is the artist that I chose. Her artwork with flowers and birds inspires me because of the values with colors and how there is almost a symmetry in the pieces.

This is one of my favorite pieces that she did because of the colors. and the perfect circle.

The Covered Girl

This is my version of the Christina Aguilera album cover. What I did is I found interesting album covers and arranged a sort of collage on one side of my face. There are so many amazing album covers that I tried to find the best and utilize their best features. I picked to have the Bruno Mars cover as my background because it has always been one of my favorite album covers to look at. My face is covered with album covers... :) I have always loved making collages in photoshop more than cutting up magazines and gluing the pictures down. This is one of my favorite assignments that we have done because I was able to do one of my favorite things. I was inspired by Christina's album and Bruno Mars's.

Chairs and Shadows

For this project I decided to post two of the chairs I did. The fist one has a picture of paper lanterns shaped like stars. On the bottom cushion I used the colors from the picture strips to splatter paint the legs and cushion. I left the pattern of the cushion showing but not too much. For my second one I chose Van Gogh. This chair was more fun to create. The shadow is supposed to look like the sunlight is shinning on the chair and there is a wall behind it. I really like how i made all of the painting strips blend. I chose a different painting for the bottom of the chair because I felt it was too much blue to do the whole chair Starry Night like. This was an interesting project and was fun when it all came together.

Winter and Spring......Midterm Exam!

This is our midterm exam! I used every tool that I was supposed to use and more! I really wanted to focus on spring and winter. My favorite part of this is the mountain scene with the boat. It fit together really well. It took me a while to start but once I started I couldn't stop messing with it. I enjoyed this midterm.
