final - part 1

I chose to do the film Lust Caution directed by Yee Ange for the sin of lust. This movie have a great color palette of many flesh tones and also prussian blue from a dress the lead character wears.






















The next film i choose to use in my project is Tideland by Terry Gilliam. This film represents gluttony. In this film a 9 year old girl is taken to an old and dirty farmhouse to live with her dad. The dad soon dies from an overdose and the girl is left to frolic in the house. She finds escape in the wonderful lush orange/yellow meadow outside her doorstep and the large cloudless blue sky.

texture

Urban what?


Texture can be touched or have the illusion of touch depending on the way the artist manipulates the visual elements. This collage has actual and simulated texture. Simulated texture can be seen in the bottom right side which shows an iguana's tail The image may look bumpy but is actually smooth. Thus it simulates reality.



Invented texture are created when various media overlap or react on the surface of the paper or fabric which has an actual texture. Here the silver paint and the sticks and paper overlap giving us invented texture.

I really enjoyed making this collage. I used mod podge as an adhesive. Some of the visual elements used were found on the streets of my neighborhood. I also used oil paint. If you look at the top of the painting you will see "fluffy white clouds" that is actually the white stuff you find in a milk pod.

value

Value


This is an oil painting on wood i did for the value project.


For This assignment i choose singer songwriter Gary Jules' song Mad World. I choose this song to convey a mood of sadness, happiness, and contemplation. I believe the song has sad and depressing parts but also happy and uplifting parts. I did the painting while listening to this song over and over again. I had a bad headache while doing the first parts of this painting. I was able to finish the painting without a headache.
