Animal Hybrid

Warning Beware Of Hybrid!!

Wilkenson Clear               Animal Hybrid                                 M-3                         3/31/10

 

The assignment was to create a hybrid animal. The steps I took to was choosing three animals I thought represented me and explain why I had choose those animals. Then I looked on the Internet for references of my three animals that I would be putting together. The required finale piece of our digital work was suppose to include the your hybrid animal, and a background or habitat of some sort.  The software we used to create out hybrid animal was Adobe Illustrator.

 

The three animals I choose to combined as one where a shark, a fox, and an Armadillo.  I combined the body of the armadillo the head and legs of the fox and the fin and tail of the shark.  For my background I tried to make a little pedestal for my animal for it to stand on over some water. I also added a sky I was kind of going for and aquarium look like what they do for seals almost.   

 

The three animals I chose represents me well I think. I chose a fox because they are smart cool and laid back. I chose to pick an armadillo because of there tuff exterior they can endure a lot. And last but not least a shark because they are furious and strong willed when they want something they go for it. The background of the whole aquarium theme goes with my animal because of the color I chose it to be and it great big tail.

 

I think I did ok on this assignment I have everything I am suppose to have and followed the guidelines. I think it could have been better but I do like how I did the highlight and how strong the face is. If I could change something it would probably be the background it could have been way better. I didn’t use any new tools although now I wish I did because my background could have came out better.

Self Silhouette project

Wilkenson Clear                                   self portrait silhouette                   M-3                3/8/09

 

The assignment for this project was to design a self portrait but in a silhouette form. Steps I took to create my silhouette were first looking at the examples of other silhouettes. Next step was learning how to use illustrator to create it and then practicing with the pen tool. We were required to make 2 portraits and use our silhouette of us as well as add words to it.

 

When doing my silhouette I used my upper half rather than my whole body. I used regular text on minds because I didn't want minds to be to fancy. I have a lot of basic ideas and my words are powerful so I think they are bolder in the strong format, or not even so much that but they seem more important and could be taking more serious. My background for the first one is plane so that my silhouette sticks out more, but on my other one it is split between two different colors that are cool and calming to show comfort.

 

I think the way I cropped minds does make for and interesting composition because, it is a salute. I think the font and texts fits because as I said before it is a serious thing and I think basic text is taking more serious then old English text. My backgrounds help to pull both myself portraits silhouette stand out and show more.

 

I think I did very well on it looking at the rubric I would say I hit most of the things to make this piece of art proficient. I like that minds is very original and also it creative in my opinion. With this project everything was new to me silhouettes and using illustrator. The new tools I used was the pen tool and the brush tool also type on a path tool as well. All together I learned how to make a silhouette how to work with illustrator and the tools it comes with and how to map out my ideas a little better with my background to make my art work really stand out.

this video is not to Degrade any mothers in fact I support them because minds is strong and also a single parent. So it’s more of and encouragement to parents to strive for more and don’t give up

  Wilkenson Clear             M-3   Public service Announcement                                      2/9/10  

 

The assignment was to create a PSA (Public Service Announcement). We were told we need and idea of some short to focus our public service announcement on. We would also need music and still life’s or motion clips to get out point across, while also using three facts to support our public service announcement. To have these things where basically the outline of the project not a lot of bounders should be something you care about.

 

     My issue I choose to do my public service announcement on was Child abandonment. Statistics i used where that most abandonees happen because of finical strain, fear, and ect. Another was that a survey showed that 65 babies had been reported abandoned, and also the last one the illness of abandonment leaves on children and how it is hard for them to cope with the absence. I used clips of neglected kids and sad teen moms, the song I used is 2 Pac’s Brenda gotta baby.

 

     This issue is worth making a public service announcement because to this day kids are still neglected and as bad as the economy is and how teens are getting pregnant I wouldn't be surprised if the abandonees numbers has not went up. I support the negative side of going along with this abuse full act of crime. I think with the sad images of neglected kids sad teen moms and 2 Pac’s sad yet inspirational song about the struggle of a teen mom who abandoned her baby, it shows that we can do better than this.

 

     On this project I think I did very well because I got my point across, and it was very clear also. I think the best part is near the end because I think that is where you really realized what is going on around us and that we need to stop this for the sake of the kids. Skills I took away from this was that a Public Service Announcement does not have to be long and boring, but it doesn't have to be a prompting of something either. I have learned how to put that understanding into something I care sincerely about. If I was able to do this again I probably try to use motion clips instead of still life’s to capture more emotion about my next topic.

MY family digital story

My digital Story is about the two most important people to me my mom and sister. It was probably the most sincere peace of art work that I have did yet. I am grateful for the family I do have and just wanted to show that the best way I could so that my mom and sister could see it. An so my kids and their kids, kids could see how important family really is.

Wilkenson Clear                 Digital story Reflection         M-3                               1/27/10

 

The assignment was to create a digital story about something using photos. It could be about art family and What we need to do this was of course bring photos of some sort or objects that could be scanned to tell your digital story. Rules where we need to record our story to tell your story, and adding effects and transitions.

 

My story is about my mom and my sister. I describe how when I was little I didn’t have a father. How my mom had always been there for me. My digital story pictures I used were ones with me my mom, my sister and me, and all of us to gather. The reason I picked these is because it’s who I’m talking bout in my digital story. My whole story is based on the people in my life, my mom, sister and me.

 

I chose this story because I want something to look back on in life.  Like my mom and sister are the most important people in my life. With out them I don’t know where I would be. Like the things I do it do it for them, that’s academically and otherwise. This let me show how close I actually am to my family. I think it was probably the close thing I could share with people.

 

I would say I did very well on it probably a 4 or 3 on a rubric. I also love y digital story because it touches me, and think it will also touch others as well. It was easy but difficult at the same time, I say this because I did this 9^th grade but it was different this time around. It was hard because I put the pictures but didn’t to the voice to after, which made it hard to connect it. This year I have so much new things I think I have grown so much in skill. I think I will defiantly us imovie in the future to make movies for my kids and photoshop as well to make collages.

kicking it old' skool

Wilkenson Clear M-3 Photographic Truth Reflection 12/20/09

The assignment for this project was to make and accordion book. Then pick a theme, and alter the picture by add your self show you where there at that moment of time. The rules where that you had to be in the picture and it had to have a theme that you could show through six different pictures. The hope expectations wet met in this assignment was

My accordion book is simple the them is old television shows. The images I choose where some of the episodes from Good Time, Different Strokes and Fresh Prince of Bel-air. Others where just crew shots with the full actors of the TV shows such as Family Matters and Martin I just simply analyzed the pictures and pots I could fit in and how I should pose., and placed my self in the exact spots. Some tools I used where the basic tools from previous project. The magnetic lass, eraser opacity filters, something new I used was the stamp tool which lets you copy something from a part on the picture.

As I mentioned before I picked the old television show theme. I picked it because those our shows that I watch to this day and used to watch when I was little. It not jus television shows it the fact that I would watch them with my mom and my sister in my moms bed cuddle up as a family. I always wanted to be in the shows also so this was my chance to actually do that.

In this project the only new thing I learned was the stamp tools and a couple of new filters. I new a lot do to prior knowledge and experience with photo shop. I liked to use it because it different and can really make you fit in with the picture. It was difficult to me to used these tools and because it was able to help classmates use them. I think all and all I was successful with this project just because I made my self fit in well. If I was to do it over I’d probably make sure I pose a little better to make it a little bit more realer, but for now I like it.
