India Ink Design

I took ink and blew it all over a page with a straw picking a small section that I felt was unique. By using a small piece of cardboard with a square cut out of the middle of it I created a frame. By moving the frame over the design I found a small area of the design that I thought would make a strong design. I did is a large ink illustration of what I saw in the frame to create this design. This project can be done in many creative ways. Other examples are to use a variety of objects like a xerox machine taking pictures of your hair, leaves or any object. Be creative the ideas ar limitless. As a wole the picture looked like nothing until you look through the small window and find a part that makes a creative and unique design. Draw it to a larger scale and then use any medium making this design your own. This is a lot of fun and makes some interesting designs. This is also a unique way to come up with a logo or a tattoo design. You never know when you will create the winning design.

Martin Luther King Unique Perspective

This drawing was done in pencil. The assignment was to create an illustration that was going to be put on a wall in a museum that would be 20' high. It was done with a scale that was in perspective and that is why the edges were cut off. The purpose was that if you saw this piece of art from a ground view you would see it as if looking at it straight on. When we placed it 20' high it looked natural. This illusion worked well and it was fun to do. It also made an interesting illustration. Try it out on anything you want to illustrate and you can see for yourself that it works.
