Art Danger Zone!

The last two weeks I have been doing art 'non-stop' and I'm very close to being at the 'art danger zone' where my creativity will cease to be.
Luckily I only have ONE MORE WEEK of classes and then I will be surrounded by the beauty of Curacao! and hopefully be rejuvenated both art-wise and mentally, spiritually and physically :)

New Photography images- Nature

These are some of my new images from my last Nature photography assignment:

New Stuff... Watercolor...

Here is a wet onto wet image of Raquel, when a whole group of us were on a camping vacation by the beach in N. Carolina-summer 2006. She was so little then, that she got a bath in a little tub :)

one of Jason at the beach-same location...more watercolors below...

This lizard image and close-up is one part of my two-part pointillism assignment that I really didn't like- soon I will post the other one as well.

Here are some more watercolors that I have been working on...
These are a little radical, since my goal was to try something that I don't usually do and push myself to explore new techniques. SO these are all extreme color combinations using wet onto wet techniques.
Some of these are not finished yet, but I thought it would give a good idea of what I've been working on.

Color class...

So far in color class we have dealt mainly with color aid paper, which is basically 312 different colored squares(that cost lots of money) that we cut up and paste to make images.
PS. all these projects are relatively SMALL scale, so it doesn't look as good close-up- like in the photos I've taken of it.

I am not really a neat person, so this has been a challenge for me, but here are some of my designs and images:

Ok-so let me explain these projects a little bit :0

This project had to do with gradation of colors(colors the flow from dark to light in the same hue) and also using complementary colors to cause vibration(basically colors that together hurt your eyes when you look at it).This next one is the first of three pieces(the rest will follow).
This is a color observation project where you take a small section of a room and match up the color aid paper to create that space-this first one is inside and sunny/shadow outside area.

This project uses diminishing scale of objects and color gradation to create the illusion of depth of field- in this case a seascape.

This second boat image deals with transparency/the mixing of colors.

The sail part of this image is the combination of the red of the boat overlapping the background-hence the color of the red mixed with each of the three color bands behind it.

New Digital Photography Images...

Here are new pictures from my last digital photography assignment- which had to do with freezing-blurring motion and shallow and great depth of field :)

watercolor Masks...

Here are some masks that students made in my watercolor II class and have in a display cabinet.

Below are some more of my pieces.

Enjoy!

New Semester!

Hi Everyone,

I am now 3.5 weeks into a new semester and have some new things to post.
I have a couple images from my Color class, the small middle cube is the same color, but appears different against two different backgrounds.

We also did some work on vibrating colors, which I will post more of later.I have three images from my watercolor class, which are still being worked on- this is a new medium for me: guoache- an opaque watercolor- I really didn't like using it :(finally- some digital photography images I've taken... These are pictures of the photos, so the quality is not so great- but you can get an idea :)
