Very proud of this. I think I did a nice job of making the colors gradually change.

This is one of my texture explorations created in the 6 hour design studio. I pasted cut doilies in a pattern that will later be painted using the dry brush method.

"Every line means something"
-Jean-Michel Basquiat

I searched for Basquiat quotes this week. I knew I wanted to write about something he said because he is one of my favorite artists. I was drawn to this quote because I think that I can strongly agree with after getting this far in design class! I've learned to think about all of the pieces of a composition separately as well as as a whole. I think this quote relates perfectly to our studies of the elements of design!

This is a picture collage of the progression from the picture to the sketch and finally the collage! I'm very pleased with how this turned out. I think I shows a lot of my personality, and I love that I was modivated to work on it. This project was informative but also fun!

Just one example of the type of picture I'm going to recreate for my self portrait

My next collage is a self portrait.the drawing to the left is the preliminary sketch for the collage. The composition is interesting I think because it's of my lips and hair. I chose to so this as a self portrait because I am known for taking pictures like this. I think if I can make it look accurate it will be fun a quirky and I'm very excited to work on it!

So this is my first attempt at a symmetrical grid. I wanted to think about this more abstractly. I feel like representing a shade within the grayscale using text is a bit more complex than using shapes. I hope that in a way this is relevant to my a grid...? I'm trying to focus more on making a focal point.
