Level Two - Art2 - Portfolio

For my second class of art, I have taken up printmaking/lino print. My inspiration is the artwork from Mervyn Williams. Mervyn is inspired by his own work and goes with whatever he desires. his art is much like Picasso and Matisse. I am very interested in his work through his color choices and the style of his work, the "trippy" like style which plays with your eyes if you stare at it for too long.

I have been working on four boards this year due to taking 2 art classes. As an update for the printmaking board, I was given the opportunity to continue on with my Level One board from last year and finish off that. I've kept the theme of it as butterflies, roses, gold, and geometric patterns. 

Here is my board layout with its current artwork attached: 

Here you see that I have the original flower drawings at the top, there is still one piece I have to touch upon as well as starting my 2 printmaking pieces. As well as including the original big piece at the bottom right. 

Here is the layout for my second board: 

I plan to make a series of pieces with the top left artwork and then create a new piece and do the same process for the bottom right 4 positions. And then just a random big piece on the bottom left.

so far for the process of making the new series work, I have created this which I am still in the process of making to connect with my theme.

I have then been working on another big piece to fill in a spot that I'm still trying to figure out. That is attached below:

Level two - Art - Portfolio

In another year of Art, we are starting to develop ideas for our portfolios for this year. This year my focus is design. Because I chose this, it requires creating a company incorporating the concept I thought. After figuring out what my company will represent, I have to make a couple of things, such as a poster, a logo, and a website. When I choose these designs, I need to be careful because they need to fill up 2-panel boards.

Here is my mood board showing the type of art I am inspired by. 

For my first board, I have created a series of developed designs as a start to my company's creation.

I created the color palette that I'm going to work with and began to play around with some images to connect with my company name. As I played around with the images I merged them together and developed them into combined artwork. I soon found the combination I liked that worked well with the name and began playing around with the placement of wording and coloring.

My original idea was to do an awareness campaign about diversity but because that was such a wide subject I narrowed it down as a campaign similar to #NotAskingForIt. I kept my logo the same as what I was making in the beginning. 

My next step was developing posters. I was first taking poster ideas that were found in a book and altering them to fit my type of theme. I then developed some of the old work I was doing last year and created a poster with that.
