Week 3: Juxtaposition

This first one was a juxtaposition of good and evil, I decided I wanted to go with a more bgining and end kind of thing so I choose Death and a baby.

This next one was a juxtaposition of old a new, my original idea was to go with a group of dinosuars digging up human bone but, that didn't seem to go so well and I ended up with this idea instead.

This next one was of smooth and rough and I choose a porcupine and a pimp.

Project 2 New York Phrase Narrative

In the New York Narratives project each member of the class was assigned a quote and had to create two cartoon panels from them like the old political cartoon comic stripes. 

 This idea was based off of thinking about those parents who always give thier children what they want and how bad it could be for the child in the long run. A good parent would know that this kid doesn't need this beast, he may want it, but he doesn't need it.

This was inspired by a joke about how wemon are hard to please, it shows a woman shopping for a perfect husband.

The Paper Game

The paper game is a drawing version of the telephone game, each member of the class chooses a phrase/quote/lyric and writes it down in a paper booklet without anybody looking at it. Next you pass the paper down and the nest person must draw a picture portraing the phrase/quote/lyric. everyone passes it down again and the next person trys to guess the quote or write a sentence based off only the picture the previous person drew. This goes on until all the pages are finished.

My quote was...

"Never let your mind wander."

And below was what the booklet ended in. 

The sentence before this was, "The Queen ant directing the soldier ants to invade the building for food."

Shape Potential - Assignment

Here is the initial assignment I started on in class to prepare for the shape potential project. the project was very fun and I'm very proud of the ideas I came up with.

Exquisite Corpse

The idea behind the exquisite corpse was to get into groups of three (or in my case four), and each member was to create a head, then fold the paper over so the next one could not see what you did and then pass the paper along. The next person was to draw a body (or chest for my group), then pass it along again. The next two people in my group were to do the waist and legs and in the end each person had drawn each part on someone else's paper. Here is what my teammates and I created.

Project 1: Shape Potential

The potential shape project is were each member of the class drew a shape from a hat, and from that one shape each student was to create ten different ideas/characters/items that had a similar shape. Below are the ten final ideas I choose. I'm glad of the ideas I came up with, other ideas I had felt too similar with what I had done before or they felt to out of place with this shape.

These were the first batch that I created with may shape. The two on the bottom were my first initial thoughts when I picked up the shape. The two on the top came to my mind when I was thinking back to the two previouse assignments we had in class.

 The tent came to me when I was turning the shape around and thinking about it at different angles. The unicorn idea came to me while I was working on the pengiun from before.

The speech bubble was an Idea I had while thinking about how I tend to draw anime style characters and I decided to inplament it in this project. The shark was another initial idea I had when I first started truning the shape around in my hands.

After working in the shape I started thinking of ideas that revolved around it instead, and that eventually led to the frst concept of a crack in the street shown above. The fist one of these also spurred the idea of the seccond due to the angle.
