Chou and Eliza's Class: Where the Wild ThANgs Are

Everyone came in all ready to go and we hit the Learn@UW quiz right off the bat. Chou helped us do a review of what we have learned to do with Illustrator. Some of the students came up to demonstrate how to do things. Besma was right on it with the "text on a path". She showed us what to do and Chou narrated her actions so everyone could review together. Cool!!

Eliza started a free draw lesson about point of view. The goal was to see how different the same picture can look different from two different points of view, for example the difference between a ant looking at a cookie and a person looking down on a cookie near his feet.

Theme and Variation is the focus point for the art concept that the class went over. We looked at many examples of images that had a repeated visual theme but where variations were used by changed the size, color or position to create an interesting image.

Then everyone thought about a super power they would like to have and they worked on making an image that would illustrate that super power (while also keeping in mind the idea of theme and variation).

Juan's "Absorbing Power"






Aubrey's power: to lift a garbage truck with his mind

Nandi: Superwoman on the moon (and black hole in space)

After break we looked at some of the images to see what everyone came up with, we did a critique and then we worked on the Behind the Wheel project.

Clara has a good start with her web design:
