Winters email [email protected] office 501-450-5289 cell 501-339-3045* *texting is the best way to reach me Assignment 3: artist’s creative self-portrait You will be developing a digitally compiled self-portrait. You will be incorporating found and created objects, images of yourself and things you love, your artwork and ???? for the creation of your self portrait. Forget the idea of the conventional portrait. This portrait will be expressive of your personality and artistic/design style. ASSIGNMENT NOTES - 50% of the artwork for the project must be hand created and integrated digitally. This can take the form of hand drawn elements, but don’t limit your creativity to that constraint. Think of making 3-D items and photographing them; find objects and take photos, create new artwork but push the boundaries in the way you present them. You must use hand drawn/created elements and photography you take. - You must have a recognizable facial element in your portrait- you can alter a photograph, draw/paint yourself, use the photograph to create vector image or alter in some way it becomes something new (digital or hand manipulation-get creative!) - Do not use stock illustrations for this project; do not copy stock illustration. - You may use some stock photography preferably ONLY if you cannot get the image needed another way. You need to be creating original art and designs for your projects and this will factor heavily in your grade. I prefer you set up and take your own photos. - When stock photos are needed, you may ONLY access images that have creative commons licenses or other ‘free’ usage agreements, but not for every element. You will need to keep a record of where your imagery comes from and talk about it in your final presentation. (You also need to type up the source list to turn in with your final) Websites you may access for images for this project: Creative commons imagery: http://search.creativecommons.org/ Public Domain imagery:http://www.public-domain-image.com/ Some art is available for free or noncommercial work: deviantart.com DO NOT DOWNLOAD PHOTOS FROM OTHER SITES FOR THIS PROJECT AND DO NOT DOWNLOAD CLIP ART FROM THESE SITES - You must combine raster and vector images to create new artwork - You are required to keep all your source files in a folder. As you scan in items, take photos or create vector artwork, please keep the unedited and original file in a separate folder. You will be required to turn these files in via drop box the day of final presentation for instructor review. You will discuss how you incorporated all your items and discuss how you altered them/used them. - Do not rely heavily on photoshop or illustrator brushes to create elements in your work. Again, you should be creating original art and designs for your work and are going to have to show each element used as a separate piece for work citation; brushes do not count for source imagery. - NO LO RES imagery (unless a pixelated effect is desired for your portrait). If you are building your final portrait in photoshop, be sure you set the dpi to 300. continues> Project size 10 x 16 inches or 16 x 10 inches Trimmed cleanly You will be required to have the poster printed at a service provider; no tiling this time. You will be required to turn in your source files and your final project file for grading. Written component for final presentation needs to: - Include brainstorming adjective list - Include a list of your source images, both created and photos downloaded. See example for more details on documenting your source files.
