Project 4 - The Final Project

Project Description:
After these initial assignments are complete, you will be expected to create a digital artwork, or series of works, from your own personal artistic interests. The concept of the series should inform the way they are presented. They could be printed out using the ink-jet printers, printed photographically, made into a book, made into slides and projected, ironed onto fabric, incorporated into a web site presentation, a Quick Time movie, projected on to the side of a building, etc.. You will need to turn in a one page, typed proposal of intent for this project. In addition, you must bring sketches and supporting material for your project. I will meet with each of you to help determine a directed program of study and techniques necessary for you to realize a significant work of digital art that you will be proud to display in the end of the quarter show.

ASSIGNMENTS WILL BE EVALUATED BASED ON THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA:• CONCEPT - idea, intention and meaning.
Does the artwork clearly communicate something to other viewers?• CREATIVITY - originality of thought and expression.
Does the artwork show innovation and uniqueness? Did the artist solve the given assignment problem in an expected or unexpected way?• COMPOSITION - arrangement and organization of elements.
Has the artist carefully considered elements such as balance, proportion, texture, color, shape, and positive/negative space?

• CRAFTSMANSHIP - attention to detail.
Does the artist skillfully manipulate the images? Are all details carefully finished and/or intentional-looking?

Note: This is a listing of the major art making assignments and does not include assignments such as readings, discussing articles, writing or in-class assignments.

My Foreword:
I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what I wanted to do for this piece and eventually came to the consensus of just creating a collection of images using various different photoshop methods and trying to create some cool looking images. I haven't gotten around to uploading all the images or even finishing them for that matter but here are some of the images I worked on.
