Advanced Digital Arts
Design your own art project
For this project, the goals were as follows; (1) Students will gain research method skills & strategies and hold themselves accountable by creating and designing their own independent art study project. Students will incorporate major artistic themes and/or techniques from traditional and contemporary Masters. (2) Students will use the Art Elements & Art Principles to evaluate their final product. (3) Students will reference a 21st Century Skills Rubric to help determine their final grade.
For this project I chose to create a documentary style video, I teamed up with another classmate and we decided to focus our project around another project we had in our Humanities class, our "Justice for all" project, focussed on homelessness within our community. During the process of creating this documentary I learned a bunch of new film editing skills, as well as interview skills, camera rules, and many other things I needed improvement on. My project turned out even better then expected because we spent so much time gathering to right footage and editing.

Artist Inspiration Project
The goal of this project was, firstly to research in depth a contemporary or post contemporary digital artist/designer. Secondly you will present your findings to your peers and the artist community. Lastly, you will create an original digital art piece based off the theories and techniques you researched and presented on.
My Artist Inspiration: Somehoodlum
The artist I chose was "Somehoodlum" an upcoming digital artist. I first began following him on Instagram a few years ago because I really liked his art style, specifically his use of unique, funny and colorful caricatures. Since then he has grown hundreds of thousand followers and is beginning to get some of the recognition his work deserves. Click on the image below for a link to my presentation on Somehoodlum.
Here is one of the many designs I created using adobe illustrator and photoshop. I used and improved upon many different digital art skills throughout this project.
