Shine: Literary Illustration

This project was to create a literary illustration. We were to take a piece of text from a book or poem we have read and create an illustration that expresses the content of the words. Since I do not read many fiction books I resorted to what I do read, my Bible. This illustrates Matthew 5:16:

"In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."

Expressionism Self Portrait

This project was to create a self portrait after another artists style and art period. I choose Marc Franz Expressionist piece "Piggies" (bottom picture). The idea of expressionism was to blend the foreground and background together on the same plain yet still be distinguishable. Expressionism is also known for having many vibrant colors.

Photo Realism: Gillette

This project was to buy a product and take a picture of it. Then we had to draw this picture identically to the photograph. At first glance you should not be able to tell the difference between the two images. However, up close the drawn piece is more clear because was created in a vector based program so it was created without pixels. The top image is my illustration and the bottom image is my photograph reference.
