Calligram Project

 





Calligram Project


Artist Statement: 

    I was inspired by my passion for protecting the ocean. Sharks have very distinct shapes and I thought it would look very unique for the calligram project. I was also inspired to make a marine animal because my personal letter to myself was about my current goals and thoughts about my future. I hope that I will be able to learn more about the ocean and help preserve it. Several shark species are endangered and this needs to be in the light. A lot of my art reflects my passions. I hope that I can use my art to make people aware of how we affect marine life and make them want to learn about how to save them.

    Process:
   
    In Adobe Illustrator, I used the curve tool to form the shape of the shark. I struggle with the pen tool and I found that the curve tool was a lot simpler, especially since I did not have many straight lines to trace. I struggled with the text inside the shape. This project took a lot of time and patience. I really struggled with the eyedropper tool for some reason, but I learned a lot. Overall, the project turned out pretty great.

    I am a big shark lover, and free dive with tiger sharks a lot back home, so I really like your choice here.

  Autoscopy Artist Statement:     I took this picture about a year ago. A butterfly landed on my shoulder and my friend and I thought it would be a great idea to take pictures with it. We tried to direct it towards our noses and it even posed for us. I was inspired to use blue butterflies in this project because the butterfly itself had blue and it would make my eyes pop more. The dark blue makes me think of night, so I also included the moon and galaxy. This ties in all of the colors and themes. I also wanted to add a cloud with a butterfly on it to continue the theme of night and dark blue butterflies. This was a very fun project and I really enjoyed it!

  Logo Project Sketches Black/White Draft Final Black/White Three Colored Logos Artist Statement:     I was inspired by my passion for the environment. I want to pursue a career in conservation and sustainability. I want to spread awareness, so other people can help me preserve the marine environment. The logo expresses my love for the ocean. The hands represent me taking care of the ocean. The wave is a general concept of the ocean. I wanted to have a marine animal, but I decided to use a wave to represent the ocean as a whole. I am proud of how this turned out. My favorite logo is the last one.

 BW to Color Artist Statement:      I was inspired to use a picture I took at the beach because it had a lot of details to work with. I wanted to use vibrant colors in the edited images to simulate tropical vibes. I used similar bright colors in each picture, but I changed the positions of the color to see if some colors make a difference in different parts of the image. Original: Edited:
