Post Apocalyptic

What I like about this is..
I really like rail road track it pops out very well, and looks really neat. I also like the windmills how with the galsses they multiply to be a whole bunch of them, they just look like a big field of them which is awesome. Also the car tires look pretty awesome. I really like my bug, it's cute.
What i don't like about this is...
The tree, I feel like i could get it to look just right and not too fizzy. But i did my best. I am also not too fond of the grass, being green it made for a good middle ground but i just feel the texture could be better.. I don't know, i could have put more time into it.
What makes this art?
This is art because it has colour, and its creatively designed, thought and effort and follows the rules to make it art not a communications project. It's 3D too, which is better potrayed through art rather than commercial things and it is potraying an unrealistic thought, a creative out-of-this-world kinda feel.

My Post-Apocalyptic World

10 things I think would still exist in our world after an apocalypse are...

1. machinery, but not in its normal form; parts missing and distorted. Ready to be fixed.
2. skyscrapers, and buildings, but in piles of rubble and some parts standing.
3. vegetation -- Mostly trees and flowers, rather than weeds. All growing fresh to start a new beautiful world.
4. roads and train tracks, lifted in places looking old or worn, but useable.
5. mountains, caves and natural tunnels. Standing strong in the fallen world, looking for inhabitants.
6. bugs & creepy crawlers -- things like beetles can survive through a lot, so i believe they would be in our world still, where most mammals and reptiles would die off.
7. fish & Other water creatures, I imagine that most land will be destroyed leaving the seas to thrive, and be ustilized by me to eat, drink and live.
8. random house pieces - like doors, broken windows, picture frames and counter tops from multiple houses.
9. bits of technology, , cell phones with no network towers, tv's with no stations and stereos with no speakers or music to play.
10. me. Because for some reason god would choose me to recreate the world with what is left.

Spirit of Endurance Final

How does this image show The Spirit of Endurance? 

I wanted to show a fight against cancer, at first look i wanted it to be deceiving and seem sad, but as you looked deeper into the image, you find yourself looking into a sad picture. Though, the colours easily portray a happy feel, I find that mixed with the black and white effects slowly adds sadness.

The radiating rays, make you want to be happy - which is okay cause in the end it can be a happy ending so why not have a happy feel to them - but also they are to represent radiation treatment.

What aspect of your image do you find most successful and why?

What I really find most successful about my piece is the happy to sad emotions - I love how the colours of the "happy" turned out, in contrast to the sad background images and colours. The colours are bright, and calming but the pictures are sad and dull, which in the end takes away from all the added colour.

What aspect of your image do you find least successful and why?
I found that my least successful part of this was the images, a lot of the pictures are just sad people, which was part of my message, but I wanted my main message to be sickness.. But it was rather hard to find pictures for that, especially with so much being blocked at the school. I would add more sickness, or medical pictures next time.

The Spirit Of Endurance

B r a i n s t o r m i n g . . .
How Will I show the Spirit of Endurance?
My first thought when I read the assignment was the fight so many people fight everyday.. Cancer. So I want to go with my first instinct and do this. A fight against cancer is a more realistic endurance that more people face than should and affects so many peoples lives.
I want my main focal point to be a cancer patient who looks happy but the backrground filled with drugs, wigs, tears and just try to show the pain they go through every day.
I really want light colours, not only cause it is usually not directly related with pain and suffering, but because it can possiblle make the viewer think of a hospital and, hopefully make then feel the feeling of being the one in the hospital bed. I want to incorporate yellow, so represent radiation, I could put lines in that will make the eyes of the viewers flow.
I want the original feel of the poster to be happy. Then as they look more, feel worse and see the little details, a slow drag down of reality.
