Art Foundations: METALS!

Wheelhouse Studios…

Motif is a new term that we are going to work with in this artwork! The idea of a common theme and idea running through the entire piece to help create a sense of unity. According to the TATE: Motif can also refer to the subject of the artwork. The phrase ‘to paint from the motif’ arose in the context of impressionism, meaning to paint on the spot.

Here is the assignment

Introduction to Digital Art and Photography: BOOK DESIGN and Animation!

Animation – You are working on learning this as much as I am. I hope that the videos are helping out. This week is going to be using the techniques we have learned and making them your own. Scrap all we did in the last 15 minutes (or continue them with the rest of the week) and move ahead with the following instructions.

THIS WEEK – DUE FRIDAY – we are going to work on GRADIENTS and then we will spend the WEEK coming up with our OWN Animation that deals with:

  • a BACKGROUND, drawn or photographed
  • Foreground that is either in front of the moving object (like the water) OR is behind the moving object (like a road under a car) 
  • An object that moves through the space, on a guideline so there is up and down or back and forth movement AND had an orientation to the line
  • Has GRADIENT in the colors 
  • AND has movement within the object that moves or elsewhere in the image… 

USE THE VIDEOS and USE ONE ANOTHER to choose what you are going to be doing.
