Minimalism

Ellsworth Kelly

This was an interesting artist I found while looking online at exhibits in the Museum of Modern Art. I thought it could go well with the minimalism that we were studying for our logo designs.

Logo Game App

This is a link to a new name I just downloaded on my iPod. I thought it was relevant since we just finished up our logo projects. It's a free app, and the goal of the game to to guess the name of the company from just the logo. I thought it was really interesting.

This is a really neat video. It shows that just one person can have an amazing impact on the world. It is especially neat that jr did this by using his god given ability to create. CHECK IT OUT!

this is the link to that image since the image came out really small, sorry bout that. :)

I was browsing pinterest and i saw this and i thought of how brandt is obsessed with typography. i thought it was funny how there is a cat for different types of fonts. they all match up pretty nicely. someone had a lot of time on their hands to create this.

Photography job for carowinds anyone?

I work at Carowinds and we're looking for some people to work at the Photo Hut or Old Time Photos. More than likely you'll be working in the old time photos! We're looking for someone who can do things fast; including dressing people up, posing them and taking fast pictures.  You'll need to be able to sell things as well.  You don't need much experience.  If you are interested in this comment and I'll give you my manager's email! You'd work for Kaman's Art Shoppes NOT Carowinds! you would get a deal on a carowinds pass too.  You're pay would be $7.25 an hour plus 25% of what you sell :) ohh, did i mention that if we both stay all summer, we both get an extra 100$ at the end of the summer? :)

My Own Personal Logo

In Digital Art and Design 2 we are currently making our personal digital art portfolio for our exam grade. One part of it includes for us to design our own personal logo. I thought it was really cool how my ATC class and my Art 3 class intersected lesson wise with creating logos. This is what I came up with in the 80 min class period today.

My Favorite Artist: William Blake

I don't know why, but felt like posting a video to my favorite artist.  William Blake is a poet and painter who pops up every now and again in popular culture.  For instance, the film Red Dragon with the Hannibal Lecter character is inspired by William Blake's Red Dragon paintings.  Blake is known for being highly influenced by the Bible and for being rebellious.  He created fantasy characters and could be considered the father of today's FanArt.  His most famous piece, titled Ancient of Days and shown below, is smaller than your notebook paper.

really cool artical

Art around the world

A gallery dedicated to art around the world. All the works are pretty recent.

It's all in the design

For the record the things now-a -days are a lot cuter and more modern. but im posting this because as a design AP student iv started noticing how much design really goes into everything around me. There is design that has to go into the tarp t help make the groups formation look good. and the uniforms that have to match the show and have to match the flags. Design really is everywhere and iv been lookig all of the different types of flags uniforms and tarps all week and i just cant help but notice all the work and style that people have put into their show.

Digital Art and Design Blog

I have no clue why I never posted this before but please feel free to visit my Digital Art & Design 2 blog for my ATC class. We do some really cool digital art and I hope y'all enjoy!

Need some art news?

Not many art news sites that I know of, but this is one I found that I thought would be a cool idea to share with everyone. Who knows, maybe one of us could be in there one day in the future.

When searching for inspiration

Something that we all stuggle with...this site has already given me ideas and is made to inspire you!

Frida Kahlo's Private Photos

Our collective mental image of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo has been informed, mostly, by the vibrant self-portraits she painted over the years. But she also had a collection of...

Art History

This is the a site that shows the progression of the arts over time, this is a good subject to understand. As art students this can help to understand your style and maybe find some inspiration for a new work.

Some artiest to be on the lookout for

I ran into this article while trying to find some cool art stuff on Google. I thought the blog could benefit from it so I posted it.

True words.

All graffiti isn't all that bad. Some people know whats up.

An interesting art story

This is a summery of a book written by a photographer who claims he finds "art in uncommon places." I thought it was interesting and something new and different to add to the art blog.

Wordle

Here is a site that my ATC teacher told us about. You type in any word/phrase that you want to make into a type and it'll make them into a composition-like picture (the site will explain more on the home page). You can change the font, color, and layout. I think it's a really interesting concept and highly suggest going to this site.

Talk About Chiaroscuro

3D Sidewalk Chalk Art Some of you may have seen this before, but I just wanted to share this because I am amazed everytime I look at these! I can't believe he can do this with sidewalk chalk!

Tumblr

When searching for inspiration, or interested in looking at some art work in general I always refer to Tumblr art tag, you can enjoy endless scrolling of art work and news from the amateur to the professional here...I thought it would be a good idea to share.

Interesting article for those interested in art AP

Thought I would share these for those who are interested in pursuing art AP, and going to college for art.

A look inside another art class

What is experimental?

So I found a really cool blog that answers the question above. It explores the issue in regards to art, and I think we can all benefit from reading it.

Photographic style that we can apply to any art

So this gentleman talks about how to merge photos together to make them look realistic. I think his though process for creating his work can be applied to all art works that involve the blending of different images, for example in a lot of photo realist painting where one must blend different environments together to create the allusion of a real environment.
