Vectors?

So, we used Illustrator today. We made a flower in it. It looks weird. I don't have much else to say, so have the picture.

Clay.

Project: design something in the worst app ever made, 123DSculpt, then actually sculpt it with real clay. Some people made really cool things, and managed to some how ignore the huge flaws in the program. I made this...

And then promptly spun it for the rest of class. I was originally working at making an alien with the eyes lower down, as you can slightly if you take the above image and flip it.

I got bored and made this with the actual clay

Can't you just see how amazing it is? It's so amazing, the camera couldn't even focus on it!

Zentagles

This project was kind of fun. Take mud/clay/thing, and draw something weird on a wall. Me and Marc started out drawing a triangles within triangles, with some weird designs within some triangles, and we called it good after a while.

Those are some photos of us working on it. Shortly after, Mr. Sands came over and started doing some weird stuff to the left of it, making it bigger. We abandoned that one and left to help another group with inverting a wall. Have some more photos

Around this time some others came by and continued where me and Marc left off

They didn't touch the main design too much, thankfully. Here's it finished, along with as far as we got with the inverted wall (it takes forever...)

We got much further, but a photo was never actually taken of it.

Forced Perspective

Ummm.... yeah. We had to make a force perspective photo, and we had several more that this. We had one where we were trying to pull down a small tree, sitting in a cup, being poured out of a cup.

Spray paint thingy

Just gonna leave this here for now

Junk Sculptures!

These things were fun. Take a box of random junk, and make something out of the shadows. Yeah, that could probably be worded better. Whatever. We had no idea what we wanted to build, so we just started to throw things together to see what we could get.

Here we were just grabbing some cool looking things, and I was trying to get a bent meter stick to stay up... or something like that. I don't know.

Here, it's progressed further, and we were attempting to make a boat. Eventually we gave up, because there wasn't really enough to make it look really like a boat. So we started making a castle.

Here it is, almost finished. Looks kinda castle like. When we finished it, Mr. Sands, being awesome, gave us a background.

A nice starry night background. After the picture was taken, I made the moon a bit smaller and moved it behind one of the pillars, and it looked amazing, but he had moved on by then. Notice the decapitated knight. I have no idea why that was there.

More Photoshop!

So today, we did some more stuff in Photoshop. We worked with adding drop shadows and perspective first, and other than the size differences, I think I did alright.

Then we worked on making references for mud drawings we'll be doing later. I picked a tortoise originally, but with all the little details, I also made a Macintosh because I can, and also because there's less details in it.

Wooooooooooooo

Rhino on the moon!

Yeah... I dunno. Photoshop experiments

Skeleton bones!

So, on the first day of class, we were told to draw the class skeleton, "Chick." Most of us were pretty terrible, others were great. I was not one of the latter. The skeleton on the right is what I drew the first day.

On Friday, we were asked to try it again. We all improved quite a bit. I did too, but I just didn't finish it. Waaaayyyy too tired. Overall, I think it was kind of fun, but I still hated doing it. Once I got past the neck bones, figuring out how they connected to the shoulders stumped me, and (along with being tired) I decided to just add the support pole. Now, onward to Photoshop!

A tortoise hippo?

So we printed off animals with heads of other animals Photoshopped on, and then we drew what the skeleton would be. I had a tortoise with the head of a hippo. Being a tortoise, and the shell being one giant bone, I was already pretty much done to begin with. Woo!
