Design Markers = Heaven.

So we did a project about every 2 weeks in my drawing for animation class. we got scored 1-10, 10 being the best. There was always a theme that we voted on...and for the record, whatever theme I voted for rarely won. It'll be pretty apparent in some. haha.
So here it is...
Stuff for Joe's class:

I took out Assignments 1,2 and 10 because they were horrific.

Assignment #3 - Charly Harper
So this guy uses simple shapes to draw all sorts of stuff, mostly animals though. It's kind of cool I guess, but I wasn't very good at imitating it.

Theme: Insects
Score: 8

Assignment #4 - Design Principles
So we had to pick a sillouette of whatever we wanted as long as it was iconic and demonstrate 4 design principles.
My four principles - Asymetrical balance, contrast of scale/color, variety, focal point by isolation

Score - 10. the one in the upper right hand corner is kind of washed out, but it was just a really big duck in 10% (contrast with the black).

Assignment #5
This was to work on composition and it was kind of a follow up lesson for the design one.
Theme: Me and My Imaginary Friend. (so 'me' in child form...interesting.)

This is me breaking up with my imaginary friend because I have to go join the real world. Heart breaking isn't it?

Personally, I think his metal arm is the coolest thing. ;)
Score - 9

Assignment #6 - 1 point perspective.
And thus starts the 3 weeks of agony...
Theme: Where to hide a body. (Okay, this was a sweet theme. haha.) Mine focused more on the actually death part...because it's not a very good hiding spot.

So, I always have this weird day dream about being killed in a bathtub. Don't ask, it just happens sometimes. I would not have chosen to draw a toliet in perspective if I could've helped it.

Score - 8

Assignment #7 - 2 point perspective.
So this is kind of my pride and joy of all the things I did in Joe's class.
Theme: enchanted forest structure. (Not so hot on the theme though.)

I guess the only reason its enchanted is because the trees are actually part of the building...that's kinda cool right? haha.

Score - 10

Assignment #8 - 3 point perspective.
Theme: Interstellar Monster Battle...(Yeah, no. Didn't care so much for this one either.)

But yeah, I totally owned on the spaceship part. My alien, not so much.

Score - 8

(there was a #9, I didn't do it. oops!)


And that's it for joe's class... (My midterm and final should be on here somewhere...they were part this.)

Senior Year (Minus my Concentration)

Ellie

Color pencil and acrylic paint

If you were wondering what was going on the background...that's an excellent question. The background is made out of this weird felt paper and I really don't know what I was thinking when I decided to use it.

Turkey

Color pencil
Rodeo Art, blue ribbon.

Hillary

Hannah and Brenden

Gesso and Acrylic Paint on Vinyl Records

This is the record assignment. There's are two records missing. I know I took pictures of them. Oh well.

It was weird. I don't know what I was doing. Le instructor gave us a box of records and told us to do something with them.
I entered 3 of the records into Culture Shapers...Hannah and Brenden. and then there was another record that I don't know where the picture is.

Emily Portrait

Acrylic on Canvas

VASE entry Senior Year. Score 4.

I hate the proportions, but I love the colors.

Junior Year

The following is stuff i did in high school...that i didn't absolutely hate.

Blue Hand

Sharpie on blue paper

I hated dots for a long time after that.

Segmented

Color Pencil and black Sharpie

I entered this into V.A.S.E and got a 4, but didn't go to state... oh the sadness.


Loren's Horse

Pastel

I entered this into Rodeo Art. Red Ribbon again I believe. Lame.

I Love You Even Though It Isn't Fair (Self Portrait)

Ink, Sharpie, and color pencil on masonite

So when I was a sophomore I was a bit of a weirdo. More than I am now. The picture I used as reference was from sophomore year. haha. good times. I entered this into V.A.S.E. as well, but I got a 3 on this one, which to be honest... I liked this one SO much more than the one that got a 4.

Eric on Ice

Pastel

I entered this into Culture Shapers, but didn't win. surprise, surprise.

People tend to have a really hard time with this one. It's a guy sitting with one leg crossed over the other, and a reflection beneath him.

Self Portrait in scribbles

Color pencil on black paper.

(self portraits were a popular assignment that year...i promise, i'm not so vain.)
