Project 5 - Open Project

Artist Statement:

For this project I plan to use a photograph of myself and trace some of it in Adobe Illustrator with the bezier tool. I want to show a smooth transition between what is traced and what is the photograph. I don't have a specific reasoning to why I would like to do this other than I think it would be a fun concept. Below is the image I plan to use.

In progress update:

I have narrowed it down to four iterations. The order I have places them in (top to bottom) represents my favorite to my least favorite.

Project 4 - Visual Sequential Narrative

Artist Statement:

I am not sure I completely understand the assignment, I know it has to be a story of some sort so I am thinking of going home and gathering any kind of sports pictures I have from growing up. I played baseball all the way up until I graduated High School, so maybe I can do something of that nature?

Project 3 - Cyclical Nature of Things

Artist Statement:

The idea I want to portray is the cyclical relationship of old "social" technology to new "social" technology - for example the rise of the television and radio to the advancement of the smartphone and computer. The idea for the image is to take a photo of my iPhone and have a poof of smoke or something coming out from it with a time-line of the old to new or new to old.

Below are my contact sheets. Sheets 001, 002, 003, and 004 are RAW format and sheet 005 are JPEGs.
