This artist is very creative and innovative. A wonderful piece has been done with a toothbrush. The artwork presents a beautiful woman in a grand style. He uses basically black color initially, then applied other brighter colors to achieve the elegance the picture. the most dominating element of design are lines.

The technique the artist used was a free style drawing. This means the picture was not pre- draw before color was applied, but he drew directly with the color. This shows the artist's level confidence in drawing and painting. Not only that but also his ability think abstractly and present his thought made easier to make such a beautiful picture.

Blog 7 An Interview

A portrait of Salomey 



        In an interview with Salomey who was one of my classmate, ART 131 class said that she was inspired to study art and love art due to the fact that her senior brother was very artists and his artworks were very beautiful, attractive and sold for high price, yet people buy them. 
     She added that some people buy and export the artworks top France and Germany to resell them. Salomey made it clear that it was not only the money her brother was making , but his unique techniques his used.
     Commenting on her own artwork, Salomey mentioned that all artworks must be mentally planned and executed before she actually makes the artwork. In other words, she starts her creative process in mind first. Additionally, she stated that she likes to draw still life, particularly objects in the environment. Furthermore, it was learned the she likes to draw with graphite and acrylic.

To this far, I have learned a lot in ART 283 class. This class has given me the opportunity to learn different computer programs that are very interesting and important as well. The programs used in this class are Adobe Photoshop CS6, Illustrator CS6, After effect CS6 and Power Point Presentation. I must also say that this class has being my first digital computer graphic hands-on experience yet a lot have been learned.

It is also interesting to learn about the tools in the program. Whatever tool you need, it is a matter of making some clicks to get the work done. The magic tool, pencil tool, pen, not forgetting brush and blend tools are amazing.The way the programs are designed such that they will do the job for you.

Furthermore, digital art is found to be less time consuming compared to traditional art making, but one must be very proficient in using the program. For that  matter, I will create time to able to practice using these programs in order to be familiar the programs.I like all the programs, but Photoshop seems to be the one I Iove.
