Week of 10/26-10/30 Journal

This is a sketch I did. I basically started out with the idea of a girl and it just went from there by adding the peacock and the feathers to her hair. It kind of reminds me of art nouveau which is my favorite art movement and is also very inspirational to me.

This is a picture I did. It is inspirational to me because of the bond that can be between two people.

This is a picture I took on my way home, well to my parent's house actually. I thought it was inspirational because my home will always be a special place.

Week of 10/19-10/23 Journal

This is a sketch of my own. I know it's not very good but I was experimenting with line weight and shading. So basically it's just a simple sketch.

This is a picture of my own. I changed the contrast because I really like the way adjusting the contrast can give it a whole new feeling. This picture kind of reminds me of the film noir era.

This is a picture of my own. Again I played with the contrast and added some filter effects to give it a surreal look.

Week of 10/12-10/16

This is a sketch of my own. I was inspired by the movement and curves of the human body.

These two pictures are from photographer Bill Brandt. His work is very inspirational to me because he is able to create abstract photos using the human body. Sometimes they are so abstract you can't even tell that it is part of the body. He is also able to blend the human body into the natural surroundings very well. He also uses alot of contrast in his work which give his photos a dramatic, dark look which also inspires me.

Week of 10/5-10/9 Journal

This is a picture I took on a night tour of Alcatraz. I like the form of the tower against the coldness of the sky.

This is a picture I took at the Sutro baths in San Francisco. It was an amazing place to see especially because it is so old and may not be around for people to see much longer.

This is a sketch I did, I guess I'm starting to feel the Halloween spirit!

Red & Blue Chair

This is my red and blue chair model. I thought it was hard working in sketch up. The tools were a bit odd and hard to use.
