    Creating forms out of basic geometric shapes

    saiki k
    Denji from chainsaw man
    Thanos
    Elmo
    Morty from rick and morty
    I quite liked doing this because I’ve tried to start thinking in shapes, and this makes it much
    more literal. So it was a fun exercise.

    SHAPE EXERCISES (group work)


    Chess inspired forms with basic geometric shapes

    The king
    The pawn
    The knight
    The bishop
    The queen
    This exercise was really fun for me as well, i took charge during the group assignment (too
    much, as i do) and cutting down the amount of shapes while trying to keep the form
    recognisable was a good challenge. I think we did quite well.

    Cutouts and shadows


    (I had another but my mother threw it away rip 😭)

    I enjoyed doing the other one more than this one cause it included a human form and i love
    playing with the human form, so i’m quite sad i lost it.

    COLOURS COLOURS COLOURS

    The colour red and what it can represent

    Specific words and their specific hues


    Red’s place in art and its significance
    Red is one of my favourite colours, it can be edgy it can be striking, warm, mysterious or
    menacing. And as colours are not my strong suit, i tend to go towards red or warm colours in my
    own art. I tend to be drawn to characters with red in their designs, or gore art which has tons of
    red. So this was a noce little exercise.
    HIPPO CLOSURE AND TRACING
    ok to be honest i hate hippos and adobe illustrator so this was a nightmare for me, i’m someone
    who loves details and I’m supposed to completely get rid of them for this. But i will do almost
    anything for you ms preethi (almost) <3

    How colours are used in advertising in media

    500 days of summer


    The overall muted tan colour represents the dullness of the real world and the coloured accents
    on the characters heads represent their motivation and way they view reality. These colours are
    represented in the film as well.

    Warm, orange with blue accents


    Her
    The warm colours of this movie are used to offset the dystopian stereotype linked to our idea of
    the future. It depicts the future as chic and romantic but still keeps much of the dystopian
    aspects.

    Warm, red with yellow accents


    Perks of being a wallflower
    This one is slightly misleading as it’s such a bright colour, though the green represents the main
    characters innocence. The movie is actually more angsty and sad than the poster depicts.

    Cool, green
    Atonement
    The contrast between cecilia’s dress and the black void behind her shows us the loneliness of
    this film. It quite accurately depicts how the movie makes you feel after 💀
    Panic! At the disco’s debut album, a fever you cant sweat out

    A lustful mysterious red. Very scandalous, awooga.

    Warm, red with yellow accents


    The beach boys album, pet sounds

    Like the sound of the entire album, very nature and rustic

    Warm, orange yellow x green
