Scanner Face

For this assignment, the goal was to use the pen and fill tool to replicate the style of animation seen in the Scanner Darkly film.

Type-Drawings

     For this homework, we were assigned four different goals to complete in the illustrator program.  One had to be a creative autobiography using only six words.  The second assignment was to make a type drawing of something using text.  Another goal was to make the text convey what the word actually means and lastly, to make an abstract, nonrepresentational type drawing with only text, so that the letters are not recognizable

Week Two: Art History and Education

Most of this week's lecture was irrelevant to my interests, until Dr. Kline came in after the Community Arts and Art Education departments to talk about Art History. I was really excited for this because I know I want to add some kind of Art History degree while in school at Temple. After listening to Dr. Kline's talk, I'm seriously thinking about declaring a double major in my field and Art History. It seems like a lot of hard work, but will be useful for finding and securing a good job after college. It was amazing to see how many courses besides the basics are offered in art history, I had no idea one course could focus on one small period in time and have that much information to give. I feel ecstatic just thinking about taking more art history courses, it's one of my favorite subjects and it is just so fascinating to understand how any two pieces of artwork can be compared and connected.
