Week 10: Make 7-9 on flipbook. Do writing assignments.

Week 11: Print project. Frame artworks. Take writing assignments to writing center.

Week 12: Cut out flipbook and assemble.

Week 13: Finish writing assignments + CD Portfolio. Get artwork to school. Write presentation.

Week 14: Hang artwork on Monday. Turn in Writing Assignments and CD Portfolio.

Week 15: Presentation Time!




Talking Points:

Slide 1: Throughout my art education, I have learned several techniques along the way. I will show each of these in the flipbook in a loop. They are sewing, collage, painting, cooking, photography, drawing, typography, art history, and illustration.

Slide 2: In the flipbook, I am going to create a contrast between the final artwork and the illustration of the heart. The heart and its objects will always be grayscale and the artworks are mostly color. The valves out of the art will work as terminals for art to enter and exit.

Slide 3-5: This is the first loop's storyboard, the heart is coming in from the bottom and then the machine will appear. Then the first icon will drop down the valve on the right, then the machine will work in the center area for a few slides. Out will pop the final project and will end in a large shot of the artwork. 

Slide 6: All of the artworks that appear on the final slide will be hung in order on the wall. I am working on trying to find a way to connect the to pieces together by applying a texture/texture vinyl of a heart, heartbeat, or something appearing in the background.

Icons & Examples




Portrait - Kandinsky

For Kandinsky's Portrait, I am thinking of taking the circles in squares and taking this pattern to make Kandinsky's portrait. The colors will show the tonal differences in his face.

Color Scheme

I am planning on having a limited color palette in this process. It will help it keep a similar theme and make sure that everything is on track to my idea. I wanted bright colors because I am a bright personality and love the use of sherbet or bright colors.

Here are some ideas:



The outside of the heart will be a dark color or gray.






Schedule - Updated

UPDATED:

Time Table: I plan on working 40-45 hours a week on my capstone project so that I can complete all the details. 6 hours on weekdays and up to 8 hours on the weekend days.

Week 4 (This Week): Order 9 picture frames for the wall art, create the nine icons, create a project map, figure out the size of the flip book.

Week 5: Sketch out the processes for the flip book, start creating the 9 pictures for the wall about 2 pieces.

9/21. Week 6: Start on the flip book and do about 4-6 pieces of the wall art.

Week 7: Finish the 9 pieces of wall art, finish at least the first full sequence of the flip book. See about doing the 2nd-3rd sequences. Work on resume/artist statements. (Get flipbooks printed for presentations next week).

Week 8: Do 4th-7th sequences, as well as, start flushing out the written component.

Week 9: Finish the flip book sequences. Change any last minute details to refine the piece.

Week 10: Write the written component out and submit to the writing center. Start working out the details for the final presentation, write down all the ideas and start to find what to talk about.

Week 11: Send the project off for any printing needs. Start framing the 9 pieces that will be going onto the wall.

Week 12: Finish any details needed for the hanging of all artwork. Finish any written components and refine them. Find space in the gallery for my piece with the class.

Week 13: Pick up artwork from printing and frame/assemble all the printed materials. Print written components. Create another CD Portfolio for the past portfolio + new portfolio information.

Week 14: I plan to hang artwork on Monday of this week just in case it goes bad I have plenty of time. Prepare the presentation and time it to be under 10 minutes.

Week 15: Presentation Time!

Sketches


Upon working out the design flaw of the output of the art, I went to as vague as I could and start sketching until I could find a way to incorporate all ideas. My original idea was not worked completely out. As I worked on this particular picture, I thought about the heart as a machine. 

This has in the input dumping ideas into a brain structure with a person receiving the ideas to bring down to the machine. There is a person using the machine to create artwork and it is output from the heart. I also have one painting, graphic design, and music. Three of my most important aspects of my art journey.

Proposal - Images

WORD LISTS:


THESIS: "This photorealist collage title Heartbeat will focus on a self reflection portrait of my art career."




PRESENTATION FOR FRIDAY:


PROPOSAL DOC: HERE



When coming up with an idea for my capstone portfolio, I wanted my piece to be a "fine art" digital piece. I knew this would be a tough subject to convey, but it would challenge me to do more than what I have done in the past. I remember in Advanced Digital Imaging that Bryce had shown us an artist, Bert Monroy, and his infamous digital painting of Times Square. I reflected on this throughout the years and the ways of which he created the piece and decided this is the technique I wanted to use for my final project. I also went to shows and museums with photorealism pieces and looked closely in detail and studied how they were creating the realistic detail with just paint and a brush. It all boiled down to the way they say shadows and lights of a surface and they transformed these ideas into their paintings.

Bert Monroy's Times Square

OKCMOA 2013 Photorealism Revisited Show

Technique: For my capstone project I wanted to capture the same photorealistic in these paintings, but to digitally render my piece using images taken with my camera and collaging the images in Photoshop.

Concept: A heart takes blood in from the veins and oxygenates and sends it back out into the body to be used, and then the processed is repeated. The information and knowledge I have learned throughout my educational career as a graphic designer is much like the process of the heart. I have been taking the information given to me in my classes at RSU and throughout my art education and storing it. Then, it is repurposed and revitalized and I add my style to it and give it back to the world to see or to be used. Throughout this process, I learn more details and things so that my heart is full of knowledge and is being circulated out into the world often.

Idea: I want to build a heart that looks real and shows the information being taken in, such as the pen tool, pop art inspirations, painting, line or strokes, ink, paint, ideas, etc that have been essential to me learning as an artist. These icons or symbols will be filling the inside of the heart, which a corner will be open for the viewer to see these things. Then the reinvented or finished piece, will be the physical piece of work I create for the capstone review.
