Performance Art

-

       This is my performance art piece that I titled ‘Hands Off’. I like the way that it ended up coming off a bit creepy with the low lighting, almost making the hands look like they were glowing and holding that energy that I wanted to represent. A big thank you to Michaela Dooley for the assistance.

      the sky I see seems full of magnolia blossoms            -Natsume Soseki      For my process I put this project together in reverse order, with the digital editing part happening first and the creating on paper happening second. For the digital part, I started with an image that I wanted to be my background and chose more images with a similar color scheme and subject to layer on top of it and adjusted the transparencies so they would meld together into one image. For the final images, I was inspired by previous exercises that we have done in class. I liked the idea that we practiced of using marker to draw over a printed image, which to me feels like a more interactive way to edit. I used markers with colors that are in the pictures to draw over some lines in the images along with adding designs outside of the frame of the picture. This was another reason why I wanted to do this part non-dig...

Project 4 part 1: Manic Marks

      These drawings to me are a primary color series: the first is yellow, the second blue, and the third red.       The yellow drawing was interesting because I played with different textured marks such as dots, small triangles for the hair, and scribbled in marks for the colored in parts. I like how the dots come together to create a bigger picture, and the tiles of the floor come together to fill a bigger space as well. I kept the editing simple, adding another texture to the picture with a splatter like effect of the yellow.      The blue drawing has the most negative space of the three. The shapes don't fully connect but you can tell what they make up while still letting the viewer fill in the gaps. The marker swipes give it more of an abstract feel. Overall the original drawing feels like the most calming of the three because of the cool tones, so I thought I would make it the most bright and almost obnoxious in color in th...

Project 4 Part 3: Shorthand Tone

       This project has been my favorite so far. Portraits are something I have done before and have always thought it was really interesting to create a recognizable face from a blank piece of paper. Although, this was also a new experience because I have never used this method before of creating many small marks to make up a shape rather than using more fluid lines. I think I even ended up liking this approach better because it gave the final sketches a more raw feel.                Usually I struggle with the editing process and end up liking the original unedited version better than what my experience with the digital side of things can produce. This time was different though. The final outcome still wasn't what I had exactly in my head as I was adding the digital lines but it rarely is. I've come to accept this as part of the process, and sometimes the unexpected outcome can be b...
