Final Portfolio for Art-141 & Reflection

When it came to the adobe software and digital animation alone, I knew almost nothing before coming into this class. With that in consideration, along with this being my first digital art class, I think I have made a lot of progress and am looking forward to learning more and continue improving and perfecting my craft. I am most proud of my face trace and mask projects as those took the most amount of time to do but came out much better than I was anticipating. I really got a chance to experiment with the different tools and see what works and what doesn't and I think that is one of the greatest and enjoyable things about any form of art. Trial and error and taking with you the knowledge you gained working on each and every piece/project.

A Second Chance Final Movie Poster

A Second Chance WIP

Overall I like how the layout is so far, but there's some things I still wish to edit. I am not too fond of the font but chose this one momentarily because I could not find the one I was looking for. I am aiming to choose one that is a little on the cursive side. I also wish to tweak the edges of the man to make it a more seamless fit and work well with the background (You can kinda see my attempt by looking closely). The next step will be to divide the man in half and place half of an image of a wealthy man next to him to display a before and after and hence portray the overall title of the movie/poster. Will also be adding the credits as well and might consider altering the hue of the background.

This is one of my favorite movies. The Pursuit of Happiness. The movie I am thinking up is not necessarily similar to this movie, however what both do share a similar quality is providing the audience with an important message. This movie teaching us that you can’t let anybody or anything stop you from chasing your dreams and mine teaching the audience that every choice you make can affect your life in a big way, potentially consequential. I like the simplicity of this poster. It does not have a lot going on but it is effective. I like the placement of the text and the title as well and I will draw these aspects from this movie poster and use it in a similar way in mine. I am going to take a few images from google such as a city background, a homeless man, and a rich man and I will compile them into one movie poster and work with the text to form something that works.

Mask Project Progress

Animation project - Lady Bug

Overall I feel like I did a good job on this assignment. It definitely wasn’t anything complex and I do see a lot of room for improvement but I spent a lot of time on this project and it was very enjoyable and this did take some effort and a lot of rearranging and adding in new elements such as having the clouds move as well to further distinguish that the ladybug is moving through space and also having a subtle movement in the eyes and legs.

Sketch for the mask project

The Skullflower Mask

What I love about the design of the masks and the makeup surrounding the Mexican culture of paying respect to friends and family who have passed away is how they take a skull which represents death and paints it with beautiful, floral designs and vibrant colors to show that death can be viewed as beautiful and those who have passed will be honored and remembered. In contrast the masks from the Tibetan culture are constructed with so many elements, but one element that is depicted on the majority of these masks are a menacing and fierce face. One thing I’m going to take away and use in the design of my own creation is the unnatural facial features such as the three eyes and the sharp teeth. While I have a skull with three eyes and sharp teeth in mind so far, I want to accentuate the Día Los Muertos floral designs and use sunflowers all around the skull. My last component is expression. While I think the angry look of the Tibetan masks are cool, I am going to shoot for a calm and relaxed look.
