Ella's Digital World

For this assignment, we were asked to create a digital landscape based on surrealism, which means bizarre or dreamlike. I did two because... well why not? The first one was the light in the grey and the second, the city in the country. Hope you enjoy!

Yay!!!!! I have completed all of assignment card 1! Now I can start on assignment card 2 ! Thank you for all of your support and wonderful ideas. And especially, thank you Mrs. Forrest for helping me out with everything!

This is my post-impressionist portrait of Emma Watson that I made in Photoshop! Just like the post-impressionist landscape I did, we had to find a picture of anyone and recreate it out of dots. So if you look very closely, this whole thing is made of very small dots. This assignment was very time consuming, however in the end, I thought it turned out to be really fun. I hope you think the same!

This is my logo I redid! For this assignment, we were asked to find any logo and change it to how we thought it should look, by using different stencils and other tools in ArtRage. So this is how my Coco Cola turned out. Hope you enjoy!

This is my formal balance composition I made in ArtRage! For this assignment, we had to create something in the software ArtRage that showed either formal or informal balance. I chose formal balance, meaning that if you were to fold this picture in half, it would be symmetrical. I hope you like!

For this assignment, we were asked to find a flower and make it look like a classic Georgia O'Keeffe painting. For this one I had a lot of trouble making; I'm a perfectionist. I tried, but I was very difficult. 

This is the street art I made using ArtRage! At first, I was kind of conflicted on what to do for this, but then I remembered this quote I was shown I while ago. So, this is what came out! I really enjoyed this assignment because it was cool to make some of the art that I see every day. 

This is my Warhol-esque painting from Photoshop, featuring Yoda! As you may know, Andy Warhol was a major art figure, when it came to pop art. He featured Marilyn Monroe, Campbell soup cans, Coke Bottles, however I decided to show my Star Wars side. Hope all you Star Wars fans enjoy!

Using Photoshop, we were asked to take a landscape picture and make it like a real post-impressionist painting. Post-impressionism was about guiding the viewers eyes through the painting, so for this assignment I made the Egypt pyramids entirely out of dots. Each dot of color is supposed to guide your eyes into blending the colors together to see the overall painting. Hope you enjoy!

This is my scanned felt tip drawing! For this assignment, we actually had to use a felt tip pen and make a drawing of our own. My name means fairy, so I decided to draw a dancing fairy (I dance too). After drawing it, I put it into Photoshop and colored it in, using different tools. I liked this because I actually got to use some of my own drawing skills!

This is my Rhythm and Movement assignment! For this one, we used different stencils in ArtRage and had to basically create something that showed the two principals of design: Rhythm and Movement. As you can see, I used Rhythm by the deathly hallows pattern. Movement was used in the background because it flows together when you look closely. Hope you enjoy!

This is my digital esque painting inspired by the artist Mark Rothko! This artist was a major figure in modern art history. This lonely and sad man had a very abstract style of art and his art consisted of many different rectangles.  In this assignment, we had to create a digital painting kind of like the ones Rothko did. Instead of using Adobe Photoshop, we had to use a new software, Art Rage. This is a very cool digital art software because the tools in it resemble actual art tools and supplies. For example, in this assignment, I used the paint tube, the palette knife, and the airbrush. Thank you!

This is my edited celebrity with an animal name assignment! For this one, we were asked to take any celebrity that has an animal name and add different animal features to them. So, I chose Larry Bird and made him a real bird! Hope you enjoy.

For this assignment, we were asked to create anything we wanted on a new software, Sketchbook Pro. At first, I was having some difficulty deciding what to do. I then decided to just do something abstract. I might've gotten a little carried away, and did a square painting and a circle painting. I tried to use many tools, at least one time, just to experiment. Sketchbook Pro, I think is a really cool software because the tools actually look like they came from real art supplies. Hope you enjoy!

Meet The Condiment Crew! This 9-panel comic strip required a lot of preparation and thought, but in the end, I thought it was really fun and enjoyable to create. I decided to make a digital version of the comic I made in 6th grade, for my art class, with the same characters and plotline. featuring Tommy the Ketchup Guy, Mustard Man, Relish, and Mayo. Below is last year's!
