Student Art Show

So my student art show is coming up and before I print, I must show them to my professor before I go through the printing process. One of my works is calligraphy, then my greeting cards, my paper egg thing, and my directions poster or Lego stop-camera animation. I think that is pretty sound. So here is the preview of my cards:

Lego Animation

I am so glad that I have followers! I am sure I am keeping you all entertained =)
Well now I have a new project to display. I have recreated Lego instructions, and my professor suggessted that I do extra credit just to strengthen my portfolio. Well, I animated mine using stop camera animation. Enjoy!

My Mentor

So I was on a mission to find a mentor, and I was pretty much just asking random people. Well, that is the way I interpreted it as. So, I just remembered for the past two Otakon Conventions I was on the Con Coverage team. So I asked the person who was in charge of us. She has also given me some things to think about when coming up with my final video project and making a story for my cinematography class. So I feel it is a done deal.

Greeting Cards

For my assignment m goal was to create a greeting card. When I first approached this I was doing multiple cards with different meanings. For example, I would have one birthday card, one holiday card, and one thinking of you card. So I came up with thinking of you cards.




My final one was the bunny and the umbrella. After that I animated it to an e-greeting card. This is the final result

Redskins New Name?

So I have read several articles on the issue of the team name Redskins. So what exactly is a Redskin? Well according to Wikipedia "Redskin" is a racial descriptor for Native Americans and one of the color metaphors for race used in North America and Europe since European colonization of America. So how do I feel on this issue? I think that it can go both ways. It has been around for ever and I haven't heard about many people speaking up about it. So I actually have no feelings on this one. I am trying to look at it from both ways but I just don't see it. I guess that I do not feel bad about it because I had always thought of the term "Redskin" as a team name and not a racial term. I am not a horrible person because I do not feel bad I just don't care.


The assignment is to redo the team Redskin's name and mascot. So I went through generators to cheat but then I thought about it. What represents Maryland? We have Orioles, Ravens, Capitals, Wizards... I wanted to use a bird like a native bird to the state but there are so many. Goshowks sounded cool but at the same time it could be misinterpreted as the Philly Eagles. So I stayed away from birds. With the power of Google I found a Hellbender. Sounds cool, don't it? A Hellbender is large salamander or a reckless/ head strong  person. I am not bashing any social groups, or races. That is why my mother raised us on animals instead of Barbie... but that is another story. Without futher ado my Redskin Design.

Typography Self Portrait




In one of my classes I had to make my face with type. It was a unique process of thinking, because it gave me so much freedom. I am going to have to mount this eventually...

Animation


I animated this for my animation class. It was challenging, but I made it through.

Intro Activity

So for this particular class were are to show our advancements in visual communication. So as our first assignment was to tell about ourselves. So us being computer graphic majors sounds easy. Just take some silly photos of myself and some gradients and call it a day. Wrong! This thing is to be a 3D object that displays our outsides and true insides. Not organs. So I constructed a paper mache egg. It has words that describe me of what people may assume on the outside, and inspirational quotes on the inside.
"Your silence tells me all I need to know,
And in the dark of night I see your glow,
Your magic moves me when I need to grow,
Walking me into a peaceful flow,
Now the golden light I see surrounding me,
Nourish the barrows when you came to me.
- Samantha James - Come Trhough
When I put a light inside of it the better side of me glows.


I think I was succesful
