Exploring My Family Idea
Exploring My Family Idea
Mindmap for the family idea
I create my best works when I am creating an artwork for one of my loved ones. I want to symbolise that in my project.
I create my best works when I am creating an artwork for one of my loved ones. I want to symbolise that in my project.
If I did portraits they would be done in painterly style and not realistic colours.
If I represented them as symbols I see them as I could make it humorous and have a lion wearing a cowboy hat, smiling, surrounded by lilies. The bear could be holding a champagne glass.
I could have Art Nouveau-styled 'frames'.

I see my dad as a blue lion because he is protective, likes hunting and I say blue because he isn't load or over bearing.
Dad grew up on an orange and mandarin farm in Cyprus. He loves target shooting, his guns, beer, old movies such as Clint Eastwood and John Wayne westerns and war films.

Looking in to Style
Looking in to Style
These are stained glass windows I am taking inspiration from.
I have always been drawn to art Nouveau. It's so elegant, soft and nostalgic.
If I do frames, I may use the art nouveau style as inspirtation.
I like thats the vines form the ouline of her body.

I think doing a traditional art nouveau colour palette will look very elegant and feeds in to the style more, makes my artwork look more art nouveau.

Outlines and Dress Design
Outlines and Dress Design
I asked Quliesha to help me with my dress and she drew this image for me. She also told me to look at sailor moon dress and I did.
Reference images I looked at while drawing the dress.
The first screenshot is what the outlines looked like before class and the second is after class.
Angela ran through how to use the vibrant colour palette, use all. the colours but green, yellow and blue. Then ad those colour later with blending modes.
she also showed me that I can put a water colour effect over colours and shading.
Choosing Typography
Choosing Typography
I downloaded and tested 4 art nouveau fonts. In the past I would download ten or twenty fonts and test them but it wastes too much time.
This is the font I chose, it's decorative and a bit illegible, which is what I like as I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep the text. Keeping the text and having a very Art Nouveau Typeface ads to the style.
Adding Depth

This is Angela's quick example.
This was my attempt which made me decided to do the shading in warm colours. The purple was too contrasting and messy.

Inspiration
Inspiration
I want to animate butterflies fluttering over my stained glass windows. I didn't want to add movement to the stained glass windows because they are supposed to be 'real' windows. The butterflies will add life to the piece.
The following images are what I will use for inspiration to draw the butterflies.

These are the first butterlies I have made for each colour palette.
