This week we went to the museum, and I loved the Barbed wire works by Melvin Edwards. The lines and patterns really are interesting to me. I wanted to use this for inspiration in one of my pieces, and it ended up being aggression this week!
I think I should listen to music for a little longer before starting the animation. You can see in aggression that it’s pretty calm at first, and then as I listened to the music it became a little more sharp and crazy.
I had trouble this week, I just had trouble really getting into what I was doing with a few of them and I’m not super fond of them. But there are always hits and misses! “Epic” was really the one I struggled the most with, and I wanted to start over and make a new one but I didn’t’ have time!
I was trying to use shapes more than lines in the next one. It didn’t feel as natural to me, but I’ll try to use shapes more in my work!
I want to download some more fun brushes for photoshop, texturing is a lot of fun for me. This is making me want to look into texture artists and seeing what they do.
I’m looking forward to next week, I hope that it feels better next week, I think that I need to be calm and centered before I start these, stress from school is killing me!
