DESIGN AND ART THEORY-Week 1 update


Hello class number 4 at Full Sail.  I hate you.  It is day 3 of class 4 and I am not happy with it.  The information is going in one ear and out the other.  I don't feel like I am learning anything.  I guess I thought this class would be more like my psychology class, reading and writing but this class is completely opposite.  I have 2 lessons to read, 3 chapters of tutorials, 2 two hour exercises, 1 quiz, 1 discussion, 1 critique and a project...for the first week.  Looks as though every week will be like this but we shall see! Here are my tutorials that I finished today.

Advanced Computer Graphics

Yesterday marked the end of my 4 weeks in Advanced Computer Graphics.  It has been a very interesting and eventful few weeks.  I had a class in photoshop when I was studying Interior Design but I learned a lot these past few weeks.  I definitely didn't learn photoshop in the graphic design sense.  I really enjoyed this class. Monday starts my fourth class at Full Sail, Design and Art Theory. I am really interested to see what this class will include.  Well, that is all for now but I will leave you with some pictures of my practicum and my project from this class...enjoy!

Practicum 4:


We had to take this texture...

overlay it on the flower to create...

a stone flower :)

We had to take a tree and get the outline and add color to it and then take the outline and darken it to create the above picture!

We had to take this leaf and color it green!

Ta-da!

(the before picture) We were require to hide the blue bug and copy the lady bug and reposition them across the picture.

AFTER! 

we were given a brick wall picture and a flower picture and were required to put the pictures together to make it look painted on the wall...Ta-da!


Mixed Media Project:

We were assigned to recreate the picture below...


Here, is my creation :) ...


It has been a great 4 weeks. I am proud of myself. I had a difficult time figuring out this project but I am so proud of how it turned out :)

Advanced Computer Graphics

So apparently I have fallen off the face of the earth for the past 2 months.  I am back!! haha! Sorry for the delay. I really enjoyed my psychology class last month.  I learned a lot about myself and evaluated how I think and feel.  THIS month I am taking Advanced Computer Graphics. We are learning our way around Photoshop.  I learned Photoshop during my time at MTSU, however this class has been a great help.  I am learning things that I never even knew existed in Photoshop. Here is a little catch up on the past three weeks of my class.

Most of these I was provided the photos and I had to add effects, blend modes, and adjustments to the images to create what you see above. I am really enjoying photoshop this time around :)

Finally,

This is my final project.  It was assigned this week but is due next Friday.  We have to replicate the picture below.


This is the first half of my project:


I promise that I will update next week at the end of my class :) promise.
