Landscape Painting from class.

Trying to be more active on this blog so heres a super cropped (instagram) picture of my painting from todays class. Left one is my initial 30 second sketch, right one is at the end of the class. I never do landscapes or anything like this so I'm pretty happy with how it came out.

PART THREE)

Draw one image for this poem:

A minor bird:

I have wished a bird would fly away,
And not sing by my house all day;

Have clapped my hands at him from the door
When it seemed as if I could bear no more.

The fault must partly have been in me.
The bird was not to blame for his key.

And of course there must be something wrong
In wanting to silence any song. 

Today, after I watched my dog get run over by a car, I sat on the side of the road holding him and crying.  And just before he died, he licked the tears off my face. 

Today, I was all dressed up and waiting on my blind date to arrive.  He never showed up.  It made me feel ugly.  I thought he may have seen me from a distance and bailed.  Then as I left the restaurant alone, I heard a little girl ask her mom if I was a princess.  It made me smile and it

6. 30 squirrels escape from zoo; 38 recaptured
A typhoon wrecked the squirrel enclosure of the Inokashira Park Zoo in Tokyo in July, resulting in the escape of 30 squirrels. Attempts to recover the animals were quite successful; at one count, 38 squirrels had been "recaptured." Zoo officials have offered three different explanations for the discrepancy: 1. They miscounted how many squirrels had escaped 2. The squirrels reproduced while on the loose and 3. Some wild squirrels may have been picked up by mistake. The zoo implants microchips in their animals, so all recovered squirrels will eventually be scanned.

OR A RECIPE 

Ira Glass on not quitting;

I think I've thrown out about 5 or 6 poster designs already, and figured it would probably be a good time to post this since I think it sums up how frustrated I am haha. 

Pickels! Sam Rowe and Ryan Crawford.

SAD WAVES FOR SAD PEOPLE (Working Title).

So this is a project I am working on at the moment- Here are 4 different styles I've done, I like the top one the most. 

Anyway, here's my little spiel on all this. 

In this drawing based project I explore the conflict between the rational mind and the emotional self and how this manifests in artwork. The conflict experienced is represented in the form of illustrated waves that embody the anxieties of self-regulating.

C'mon guys post stuff!

'Foggy day at Ghost beach'  Water colour, acrylics, photoshop

Okay, I'm going to post something. Why not? Little collage I did on Saturday. Feel free to give me feed back good and bad. :)

Homework assignment 1.1

Create a "doodle" page in black and white. Strive for spontaneity in your drawings.
  The page can be either Horizontal or vertical format. Make sure to have a dense variety of drawings, arranged into a harmonious composition.  
You may cut and paste from many separate sheets of paper or draw on only one sheet, using some sort of grid system, or a free form arrangement. Combine all the drawings into one overall image that has some sort of organising principle.  

Hint:You can draw at a larger size and reduce the image via photocopier. 

From the Ivan Brunetti Book 'Cartooning: Philosophy and practice'.

ALSO  can everyone log in to moodle so that you are on my student list for campus online.
On moodle I can post things like letures, notes, pdfs etc (I cannot do this on blogger).
Thank you. 

Juxtapoz!

Get into Juxtapoz for interesting art and inspiration! I went to Mag Nation on 88 elizabeth st which is jam packed with graphic design and photoshop mags but if you're cheap (like me) these mags can be found online for free if you are that way inclined and savvy. ;)

In Juxtapoz I found artist Marco Mazzoni who makes art of humans without eyes. Hauntingly beautiful.

Other good magazines to get into:
Advanced Photoshop
Photoshop Creative
Layers

Hey Everyone,
Josh has reminded me to post the ACS for the new subject I have with you guys. As blogger doesn't let me post word docs or pdfs I will email your school emails, so please check.
Also things you could do is read this book

Understanding comics by Scott Mcloud. We have some copies in the library.

also watch this show for inspiration

Also, one more thing. Please look to art history for inspiration. Move away from disney and studio ghilbi for a while and have a good look at art and design history.

PLEASE continue to post artists you dig and drawings you've done. Have fun and experiment with different materials! All the best.
