layers?

trying out depth and gradietns:

class notes - next project

layers upon layers upon layers-

-paper has to be layered so as to fit through the printer
-silk screen on top of printed image?
-use newspaper/phonebooks as thin paper
-printed on canvas, the painted on
-"the idea dictates the form"
-grade boosting- tack an extra project onto the end of the semester, revise current projects
-size can be whatever fits you idea best, limited only to width of printer

my current idea - print on fabric, create a quilted piece using layers of fabric. recognizable image?

and some more...

image>ajustments>hue/saturation FTW!

in red?

Troy wanted to see different color, so I'm playing with it a little. While im still biased towards the original, being in my favorite color, it's pretty cool to see it in other colors too. I use CS though, and dont think that CS can do the nifty trick Troy showed us in class with the automatic color palette thing. I should be getting a newer version soon, but until then this is all changed by hand.

finished bird tesselation

finished bird tesselation:

I think I'm ok with the negative space not having any details in it, and the contrast between the background and the bird values, but im open to suggestions :D

Wallpaper ideas

The woman I work for, Jinny Beyer, has a quilt that is tesselating cats, and MC Escher has some pretty freakin awesome tesselations, something I have always wanted to create. I know the basic principles of how to make one, now i just have to work on making a good one. Also, I do not know what kind of thing I want to tesselate, or if I can even dictate that at all or if I will have to conform to whatever shape I can create.

Some examples:

like ceramics?

Here is the blog I am keeping up for Abby's ceramics class if anyone was interested. It is mostly research, but you might get a few ideas, who knows :)
