Traditional Pieces

These traditional pieces come from my Fundamentals class, demonstrating my knowledge of concepts such as space, color, proportion, and lines, which have been integral as the gateway to learning more about and honing my skills in the digital arts.

Collage Project

I chose to make a "Help Wanted" poster for the Glitz Pit, a fictional fighting arena seen in the Nintendo GameCube title, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. In addition to the hand-drawn versions of the fighters, I also wrote my own blurbs and speech bubbles to reflect each character's personality, as they are portrayed in the game itself.

Lines

This was my very first art project as a college undergraduate, showcasing my knowledge of linear techniques in art.

"Game Over"

This simple, yet quirky collage combines the common phrase "Game Over" with a hybrid character made from magazine clippings of four signature Super Mario Bros. characters. This bizarre and somewhat disturbing figure signifies the frustration that comes with getting the "Game Over" message in a video game, while also serving as a visual taunt to those who find themselves in these kinds of situations.

Color Wheel

This re-creation of the traditional color wheel illustrates the concept of color theory in visual arts. The wheel begins with the primary colors (red, blue, yellow) in the center, and consequently branches out to the secondary colors (green, orange, purple) and then the tertiary colors (vermilion, amber, chartreuse, teal, violet, magenta).

"Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes"

Inspired by the children's song of the same name, this project demonstrates my knowledge of patterns, as well as how they are used to make a work of art stand out. This also illustrates the concepts of grayscale, with each body part being a different shade (black, dark gray, light gray, white). In this four-by-four grid, all four heads, shoulders, knees, and toes are painted in the same shades among their respective panels to mimic a checkerboard pattern.

Reimagination of "The Lighthouse at Two Lights"

This re-creation of Edward Hopper's "The Lighthouse at Two Lights" (1929) is the first half of a proportion project, and served as the basis for "Bridge over a River" in terms of using the same colors, in proportion with the original painting.

"Bridge Over a River"

This is the second half of a proportion project, in which I took the colors I used in re-creating Edward Hopper's "The Lighthouse at Two Points" and painted a new work with the same colors, proportionate to the original work.
