Strategies for working on project #5:

Your goal is to transform your selected artists piece altering, in

some fashion: subject, context and color, to make it your own.
(Context refers to how your subject(s) and environment interact)

This project will be made 50% in Photoshop and 50% in Illustrator.

How (the methodology) and what techniques/tools are used, is up to you.

In class we will discuss how to integrate both programs into your workflow.
This process will likely consist of working on or editing different assets
(subject, foreground, background etc.) and visual attributes in one
program then adding details or certain effects in another.

Based on the artwork you have seen over the duration of the semester,
choose a visual
artist and one piece by that artist that you will work from (take
inspiration from).
YOU ARE NOT JUST COPYING A PIECE. YOU ARE CREATING YOUR
OWN CONTENT.
You are to select one and only one piece to work from. You
MUST stick
with your selection.

Consider how this artist approaches their subject matter. Do they create
pieces that
tell stories or do they focus more on simply evoking a mood? You should be
able to
find discussions or interviews with this artist when doing your research that
help
you determine how this artist works/creates their art.

DO NOT simply choose a piece that you think will be easiest. You have from
now until the
final exam date to complete this project. Your project must reflect a large
investment of
time and effort. This project will likely take upwards of 1214 hours.

After you have selected your piece to work from, determine how you
relate to your selected piece. What is it about the content that
speaks to you? Does your selected work tell a story? Does it elicit a
specific emotional response? (Does it make you happy, sad, feel calm,
etc.)

How do you relate to your piece? (Consider why you chose it)
(EXPLAIN):
the character specks to me the selected work is from a story, it makes
me feel nostalgic

From your selected piece, list three visual elements that represent
your artists style. Explain each element in detail. (If you need more
space use the lines on the back page). Consider how you answered this
question for your surrealistic piece.

1)

the line art style--- basic anime style of drawing

2) color----- dark simple colors with simple bright

3) contrast of the colors and positioning

Next, find out how this specific piece is able to relate that
feeling or story to you. Is it through the subject, the environment,
color choice, proximity of subjects to each other and their
environment (context), etc.?

the subject because of the movie---- the level of responsibility put upon
her

Explain how you think your piece conveys its story or emotion
to you: Consider artistic style (how images are represented).

In my piece in stead of her being the hero to others--- she holds her self

In your opinion, what is the story of your selected piece?

A girl who save the world--

 Similar to project #3, you will take your selected piece and plug
in your own content. You will substitute your own subject, your own
environment and so on.

YOUR SELECTED WORK SERVES AS ONLY AS A VISUAL GUIDE.

Before you begin gathering your imagery/sketching/etc., decide what the

intent of your piece is. What is it you hope to communicate in your
own piece? (This is the same as question #1 on your project critique
form).

What elements from your source piece will you keep?

The character

What elements from your source piece will you Change?
