Art Portfolio project: S.M.A.R.T objectives

In upcoming week I will need o sign my ideas for the project. Today I going to make my project SMART, to be sure with idea and brief. The state of each big project is achievability in the timeframe.

Here is my smart objective for set project ''Purple Haze''. My continuation route is Graphic Design (Illustration).

Specific

I will be creating Leporello consisted of 6 digital drawing/painting with purple dominance which will be appeared along with the story. The concept will be based on my own story. The main purpose will be showing the beauty of the world and should affect appreciation to earth. I will be using the techniques of contemporary illustrators mentioned in my research. This project will take five weeks to complete. I will start by writing a short storyline. Then sketch it, basing on real pictures. My work on these I will start from the monochromatic overdrawing by hand from the sketches. And finalization in digital painting on Photoshop, using a graphic tablet.

Measurable

My goal should be achievable in shortly after I complete the storyline preparation (including script and sketches). Then all I need to do will be working on almost ready material. Painting with black acrylic paints should not take long. The digitalization part with colouring areas will be more time consuming, it can take approximately 2 weeks.

Achievable

It is in my power to accomplish this. Even when I work part-time during this trimester. I feel enough excitement to research this area. Not to mention the new technique which I want to reach.

Realistic

I can think about a story in working time. Evenings and the whole weekend I can focus on doing sketches. I can say that the storyline I can write in a few days, sketching and painting time will take 2 weeks. And final digital version max. 2 weeks.

Timely

The deadline is six week. Judging from my calculation, I will finish my project in time.

Research on Odilon Redon

According to the title of my blog post, today I am going to take deeper research of the XIX century artist - Odilon Redon. All the information should be based on my notes, which I took during the class. In terms of preparing for future lecturers in University life. But I found out difficult to caught the important notes in the current situation. I believe that the lecturers in real life, in a face to face system, will be more beneficial for both sides. Anyway, I would like to support the pieces of information about the lifetime of today's character. In order to make my writing more valuable. He was born in Bordeaux, France on April 20, 1840. Died in His nickname was created after mother's first name, Odile. His father pulled him to study architecture instead of art, but in 1857 Redon failed the entrance exams for architectural studies at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. But Odilon stayed in Paris with influential, famous friends such as Charles Baudelaire, Gustave Flaubert, and Edg...

Set Project: Final 3D piece

It is high time to show the final 3D outcome. I have been waiting for a sunny day to take a picture of Mr Kite. I found a perfect corner in the window ledge. I managed to find some white sheets for the ''session''. Unfortunately, they were curved and undulating and having no extra ones I tried to make it professional. All this showcase is after Photoshop edit. On those shoots I wanted to emphasise his posture. Nevertheless, it is still a bit stiff. Here I captured all his attributes in front of him. And one more, with his hands up. Which personally, I can compare them with gorilla's. I took two pictures from different angles. In order to zoom in the portrait details. In addition, one from the front. I made a few mistakes regarding background preparation. I could glue or taped pages together to avoid the gaps. However, the software edit made a brighter impression, which is definitely an advantage. Maybe a thicker paper and front light would reach a more prof...

Art Portfolio Project: First update - The story

When I took a look for the sign off sheet, it made me think about the story for my Leporello. I pointed out the initial ideas and spirit of the whole story. It will not be act-playing roles, no dialogues. This six pieces story will take a viewer into a mysterious world of Native Americans. I spent a lot of time thinking about how I want to present the culture and sense of spiritual world perceive by tributes eyes. I interested in the beliefs of this culture. I want to start explaining the background for the strip. Native Americans believed that all living things were watching over by guardian spirits. That could be; trees, wind, animals or people. Mostly, forces of nature. Usually, the young boys were overcoming the ''journey'' to become a man. They believed that the guardian spirit, once fund, would bestow a special power on the boy and then, he would return to the tribe. Meaning of great spirit was a bit similar to be watched by an angel in the Christian religi...
