For Monday, October 4


3010 - Once we got rolling, I loved seeing what all of you were coming up with today - and all individual too. Can't wait to see what you share on Monday! Remember, I'd rather see the separate elements than have you placing them in a website/blog layout. Work on keeping your lines and shapes clean if you're going for those big bold shapes. Cave painting type images would, of course, be much looser. And experiment with mixing media like I showed you.
     Along the lines of the Wave of Kanagawa (to the right), a modern illustrator who used shapes in a strong way is Guy Billout.

     Vasilisa - Here's the illustrator I was telling you about, Bernie Fuchs. He was famous for leaving sepia areas with implied information (like the eyes on your Great Gatsby project).

3050 - Once again, great progress guys. I hope you got some good ideas from the videos we watched. Remember the line DNA: Design, Nature, Art! For Monday I'd like to see more fleshed out (sorry!) ideas. Keep in mind that more developed ideas need to be more fully rendered - concentrate on line quality and shading. If you were to present them to a design group, they'd need to fully relay your idea.
     I also want to see print outs of an illustrator you would hire for the project.
     We briefly talked about the sculptor, Henry Moore.
Stephen - Please go have a look at the New York Times Op-ed video under "videos."
