iSkins. :)

Our current project in art class is making skins and screen savers for an iPod touch, an iPod classic, an iPad, or a laptop.

I chose to make one for an iPod touch since I have one and I could one day turn my design into a real skin and put it on my iPod.

For my design I chose the category elements to design. The element I chose was water. The design I drew was waves from top to bottom and a big star on the top left corner. What I decided was to color the star full yellow and the waves a mixture of dark blue, light blue, dark green, light green and purple. I started on my coloring and the mixture of all those colors is incredible. It may not look like the real ocean but the goal is to make it a simplified ocean and a simplified star. And how yellow stands out against blue is amazing. It truly brings out both colors.

I will soon upload a video to represent this iSkin Project when we're done with our finals and have made our final posters. :)

Tessellations :)

In Design Art we did tessellations. It was so fun ! The bad thing was I wanted something so unique so I made a really cool tessellation. Problem is I had to trace that tessellation 7 more times ! It was hard and I only traced it 6 more times because I was really falling behind. The reason we were doing tessellations was because one day in class we were looking at the tessellations of M.C. Escher. M.C. Escher is an artist/mathematician who makes tessellations that are mathematically accurate. We didn't have to make them mathematically accurate but we needed to make tessellations. My whole class thought it was impossible but Ms. Bammi taught us the 'secret' and we were off doing our own thing being as creative as Ms. Bammi taught us to be.




Right now I can't upload anything because I don't have my picture to make a movie or to upload as itself. So I will add my video/picture of my tessellation later.
