Composite Photo Critique

This Painting was created by Jacek Yerka. Jacek Yerka was born in 1952, in Poland. His family had an artistic background, with both parent graduated at a fine arts academy. He began his career as a full time artist in the 1980's. I think that this work was done really well. It was done really well because of all the detail. You can see that the detail is done really well by how this cave looks like an alligator or a crocodile.
I think that this Painting is pleasing. I think that this painting is pleasing because of the detail and the neatness of it. Also it look cool how the train is coming out of the alligator or crocodile mouth.

Digital Paintings

My first digital painting site is called "Comets". I called this painting "Comets" because my concept was to create the feel of comets hitting the Earth. My design features for this pictures for this painting is that I smeared it all together(Sumo Paint) and that I used a grain filter, to make it look like stippling art(Photoshop).

My second digital painting is called " The Great Owl". I called this painting "The Great Owl" because my concept was to paint over a non copyrighted image of an owl . My design features for this picture that I used a feather paintbrush to create the grey feathers(Sumo Paint), and I used a water paper filter to sort of make it look like it was part of a piece of cloth or clothing(Photoshop).

My third digital painting is called "The Powerful Geinie Awakens". I called this painting "The Powerful Geinie Awakens" because my concept was just for fun and I wanted to see were this painting that I drew on Pencil Madness. While I was first starting to draw this painting, I started to think about the book "One Thousand And One Nights" book. Then I started painting a picture that depicts a story in the book, "Ali Baba And The Forty Thieves". My design features was using a drawing tool that look like smoke/hair for the outline of the smoke cloud and Ali Baba's hair.

OLOL Poetry Anthology Book Cover Design

For my Poetry Anthology book cover design I used a purple and grey gradient. I used a purple and grey gradient because the colour purple represents the colour emotion of creative, imaginative and wise. Grey, represents balance and calm. I chose these colours because they both represent how creative the people who are in this book through writings and art. I also used a non copyrighted image of someone thinking, and I made the picture into a silhouette. For my text, used the colour yellow because yellow is the complementary colour to purple. I believe that my book cover should represent Our Lady Of Lourdes poetry and anthology book because it is simple and effective. It is simple because there is not that many images and it's effective because the colours I chose were bright and catching to the eye.

Multicultural Festival Poster

For my Guelph Multicultural Festival poster, I used two non-copyright images off the internet. I used an image of the Earth for my background and I also used one of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel masterpiece's Adam and God. My message that I am trying to convey is that a high power being created all of the people in the world differently to make us accept one another's belief's, and to celebrate and recognize our differences in our culture as well. I believe that my poster conveys them  of: One World Living Together because Adam's hand on the left represents all humans, and the hand on the right represents a high power being who created all of us and made us,and made us all diverse. Earth, in the background represents our diversity in the world.

Flower CD Mobile (mobile project)

For the mobile project, we were all in groups. My group members were: Laszlo, Christian, Caz, Kristina and Cassandra. Our group chose to do a CD themed mobile. We decided to paint flowers on the CD's, we got the idea to paint flowers on the CD's from searching on the internet for ideas. We decided to do a warm and cool colour style for the printed side of the CD's. We wanted to leave the reflective side of the CD's to be unpainted because we wanted the relection of the CD's to show. For the balance of our mobile we used two bendable rods,we bent them in a coat hanger shape. Then we put two CD's on the two hooks that we made. Before we bent the rods , Laszlo drilled in two holes in each of our discs and then we tied knots on our discs to connect them with one another. Our focal point is in the middle of our mobile. Our focal point is about three lines of our connected CD's but were not separated by warm and cool colours, but all mixed together. Our overall theme of our project  was a floral warm and cool colour theme.
