For this project you will have the choice of illustrating 3 tarot cards (2 fronts, one back) or 3 wine labels. If you pick wine labels you may want to plan not only a coherent style for all three labels but also think about necessary text for the brand of the wine, the type of wine (chardonnay, shiraz, merlot, etc), and possibly where it’s from. Tarot cards should be researched to make sure that the meaning and imagery correspond (for instance, the “death” card does not mean death as much as it does rebirth). Think about how imagery, style, and color helps to unite the elements of your project. Do not be afraid to try something unexpected if you wish.</span></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><u><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Sketches due</span></span></u></b><b><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">: Sept 28</span></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><o:p><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><b><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" font-weight: normal; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><b><u><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Progress critique</span></span></u></b><b><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">: Oct 5</span></span></b></span></span></b></span></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">(No Class Oct 12)</span><sup><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><o:p></o:p></span></sup></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><u><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Final due</span></span></u></b><b><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">: Oct 19</span><o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <!--EndFragment-->Montserrat Illustration IIIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15631086201169709257noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1126139752710478631.post-33207414055337501212009-09-13T19:43:00.000-07:002009-09-13T19:45:56.774-07:00A Great Way to Think of IdeasSeasoned illustrator and artist Nate Williams shares a great post about how he thinks of ideas for his illustrations.

You can take multiple approaches including being inspired by Inuit folk art, making this a children’s illustration, or exploring the dark nature of this tale. You WILL have to think about building your palette from a set of complimentary colors, something we will go over our next class before you move onto the final.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="Arial Bold"font-family:";"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Sketches Due: Sep. 14</span></b></span><sup><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">th</span></b></span></sup></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="Arial Bold"font-family:";"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" font-weight: bold; font-family:arial, serif;">Final Due: Sept. 21st</span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:14.0pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span style=" ;font-family:Arial;color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">At the beginning of the world there were giants.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:14.0pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span style=" ;font-family:Arial;color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">They lived on the land and ate the fruits of the land. One year, as the days began to get shorter and colder, a baby girl was born to two of the giants. They named her Sedna.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:14.0pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span style=" ;font-family:Arial;color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Day by day, as the sun became weaker and smaller, Sedna grew stronger and bigger. She grew and grew very quickly until, in no time at all, she was huge. Soon she was bigger than her giant parents. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:14.0pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span style=" ;font-family:Arial;color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The bigger she got the more she ate and the more she needed to eat, but there were not enough plants on the land to satisfy her hunger. One night, ravenously hungry, she began to gnaw her parents legs.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:14.0pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span style=" ;font-family:Arial;color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">‘Owww!’ they cried, ‘that's enough of that.’ With a great struggle they bundled Sedna up in a blanket and carried her to their canoe. It was dark but they paddled out to sea in the light of a hazy moon. When they reached the middle of the ocean, they pushed Sedna overboard into the icy waters.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:14.0pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span style=" ;font-family:Arial;color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">And that, they thought, was that. They started to paddle back towards the land, shivering for the cold and also for shame at what they had done to their own daughter. Yet before they had gone far, the canoe stopped - no matter how fast they paddled, the canoe would not move forward. To their horror they saw two hands, Sedna's hands, reaching out of the water to grip the canoe and then to rock it from side to side.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:14.0pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span style=" ;font-family:Arial;color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The giants felt the boat shaking. Soon they would be tossed into the ocean they would surely drown, unless they did something quickly.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:14.0pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span style=" ;font-family:Arial;color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Simply to save themselves, they pulled out sharp knives and chopped off Sedna's fingers. One by one the fingers splashed into the sea and, as they sank, they changed into swimming creatures. One became a whale, one a seal, another a walrus, another a salmon. The fingers changed into all the creatures of the seas.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=" ;font-family:Arial;color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> As for Sedna, she drifted through new shoals of fish to the bottom off the ocean. There the fishes built her an underwater tent. Above her, the cold waters formed a crust of ice and sealed Sedna in her wintry, watery world. She still lives there, and whenever the Inuit are short of food, they call on Sedna and she provides it, even in the depths of winter.</span></span></p> <!--EndFragment-->Montserrat Illustration IIIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15631086201169709257noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1126139752710478631.post-80850257407844244492009-09-02T11:50:00.000-07:002009-09-02T11:55:02.404-07:007 Deadly Sin/ "So, Tell Me What I Want To Hear"<!--StartFragment--> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The Seven Deadly Sins</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Size: determined by artist</span></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Black & White</span></b></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">In any style, create a black and white image depicting the sin you have selected.

A student’s ability to talk about their own work AND the work of others demonstrates a mature artistic mind that is able to communicate and articulate ideas appropriately, whether it be with a colleague or art director. Lectures on artists, contracts, color, and different markets will also be a constant element in the classroom, as well as exercises in sketching and brainstorming. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial"><o:p> ATTENDANCE</o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial"><o:p> Since we meet only once a week it is important to be present at classes.
