Illustrator Homework 1

I think tools that would be easy to use are the zoom in and out tool, sizing tool, and eyedropper tool. I think these tools would be easy to use because these are tools that I have experience using with other software programs. A tool that I think would be difficult to use is the pen tool. I believe the pen tool would be a difficult tool to use because it will be difficult to create curves that are shaped in the way the artist desires. In addition, the pen tool would be difficult to use as I think this would require practice getting used to. I thought it was interesting how the video showed the tool of how to write a text that aligns with a shape.

I think a tool that would be easy to use is the shape tool. I think this would be a tool that would be beneficial when creating graphic art and designs. A tool that I would find difficult to use is the width tool based on this tutorial. I believe this would be a difficult tool to master because of the different features that the width tool has to offer and knowing all the shapes the tool has. The width tool will be a tool that would be useful when creating designs that require many curves. What I find interesting about this video is seeing all the different shapes you can create at the end of curves when using the width tool. I thought it was interesting how many different parts of a curve can be changed using this tool.

I think the symbol spray tool demonstrated in this video tutorial will be a tool that would be easy to use due to the free range of ability of stamping duplicate shapes. The use I see with this tool is when you want to make multiple shapes. A scenario of this tool being used is when an artist would like to create a designed background for their artwork. The knife tool in this tutorial I believe will be a tool difficult to use. I believe this tool will be difficult to use when pinpointing the exact parts the artist would like to cut out in a shape. The knife tool will be useful when implementing specific details to basic shapes. I thought it was interesting that this video showed a reflection tool. I thought this was interesting because I did not know Illustrator offered this as a tool.

Artist Statement:  I made this art piece because it consists of everything that I have created in the class Digital Media. In addition, I believe that this final project does a great job demonstrating who I am. What inspired me to make this art piece is consolidate all the projects that I have created throughout the semester into one consolidated artwork. It illustrates all of my memories and experiences that I had the opportunity experience until this point in time. I believe that people should care because I hope that this consolidation of projects inspires people to create a project to share their story. I believe people should care about this because I believe this artwork allows people to reflect on the things they have accomplished in the past.  This artwork of my final project represents my personality, characteristics, and story. My artwork demonstrates this because all the artworks within my final project has a symbol that I have a happy memory tied to or symbol that I believe

#1 Canvas

Inspiration: Sketch: Canvas Project: Hour Count: 12  When I first started this project, I drew a couple of sketches only to realize that the sketches that I drew were simple everyday things that did not catch my interest. This led me to think about my childhood and growing up, I remember reading the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series written by Jeff Kidney and this was one of my favorite series that I enjoyed reading growing up. What inspired me to create the red outline around the character named Greg Heffley is in honor of the first book of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series.  In the first phase of my canvas, I started by creating a sketch of Greg Heffley. I created the sketch to ensure that I encapture all the small details that are on the character such as the small detail of putting socks on the character. As I was going through the process, I thought I had a good baseline until I had to create the backpack. Once I arrived at the backpack aspect, I tried to create circles for the character

BW to Color

  Artist Statement:            The reason why I made my art is because each portrait demonstrates the different emotions that I envision when I think of the corresponding colors. The first portrait colors represents my emotional feeling of accomplishment. The second portrait portrays my feeling of anger. The portrait represents when I am in a relaxed state of mind. What inspired me to choosing the colors I did is because I believe that they all represent different spectrums of feelings in correspondence to the atmosphere and my feelings based on the set circumstance.      I believe that the audience should care because the colors that I utilized in my portraits symbolize emotional feelings that can enlighten their mood. In addition, as people we tend to correspond colors with emotional feeling and I believe the colors that I chose encourages a positive mindset. I believe that my portraits enforce positivity because they are all bright colors which has been correlated to staying positiv
