TaysDream World

My art is based on the graffiti art movement. I choose wings because I love that graffiti art can be interactive instead of just on the wall. I love graffiti art because I feel like it can both artistic and interactive and a bit rebellious. I felt like the wings were something that some people dreamed of having. My original idea was to scan main  parts of my body, like my face and my arms and legs, for the middle part and recreate myself in the wings. But instead of putting myself in the middle to recreate myself, I used the rest of the pieces of the cut paper from my scans to create a mystery body. I decided to only glue the bottom of the hand scans to the board so that it would look kind of like the hands could be ruffled or moved. I wanted it to look like wings, so I turned the hands on the left side slightly different than I did the right side. Here is the picture I based it off of: Work;

my grid art is based upon my picture that I drew a few weeks ago. Originally my design was supposed to be complex, but upon the arriving deadline, I realized it may not be possible. Grid art can be beautiful and if done by hand can be complex and take a while. When you look afar at grid art, it may seem easy and simple, however, grid art is not always easy and can be quite tedious when it comes to working on it. My grid art was complex, I had completed it within four-five hours, but it was hard. My original material was supposed to be clear thumb nails, however, when I ordered them, they arrived at a different location, so I had to improvise. For the thumb nails, I was supposed to paint all 900 of them. So for my improvisation, I painted my picture. Since I was going to do circles anyway, I did drawn circles. One of the most difficult things about grid art is that it will not come out looking the exact same as your picture if you section it in just colors without details. It will l...

For this project I used characters that I had created. The characters background makes sense for the animation I created. The girl and boy are mortal enemies and assassins, but also childhood friends, they follow a one sided love for the man. For the animation they start off in a fight but the man starts to show off his skills, and even kisses her. She gets angry and throws her last weapon, but he ends up catching it and drawing 'I love you' on the tree. Originally it was supposed to be digital and even longer than 200 frames, but hearing about this project, I took the liberty to start the animation and end it differently. I find it interesting that some people do this on a daily basis. stop motion is already tedious enough, and this project was fun but also frustrating. I wanted it to be a lot more detailed than It was but I didn't have enough time. this project also allowed me to play around. The hardest part of this project was probably the scene where they...

Taylor Guyton Art 211 Blanka Roundtree 28 February 2018 Electronics             Art and technology has come a long way. One technical object that has come a long way is the drawing tablet. Drawing tablets are used by artist all around the world. It helps artist draw digitally on the computer which is entirely different from drawing on paper. Digital arts have prospered throughout the years as they continuously make more tablets more accessible and easier to use. Most of the artist who do use the tablets are illustrators and digital animators. For a long time, animation was hand drawn. Then Wacom decided to come out with the Wacom bamboo tablet, however, before there was Wacom, there was apple. In 1979, apple created a tablet for graphics (Smith).   Apple actual did not create the tablet itself, they worked with someone who did make it. The company was called Summagraphics (Smith). Apparently, it was not we...

The Color Purple, staring Cynthia Erivo and Jennifer Hudson was one of the most soulful, inspiring, and beautiful broadways I've ever seen. Originally there based on Jennifer Hudson's appearance, I was quickly drawn in to the beautiful voices of everyone else. It was no longer about who famous was playing the roles, it was about who was playing the roles, and they were playing it well. Cynthia Erivo's performance was phenomenal. Her voice carried out her soul, and mine as well. I saw the play January of Senior year of high school for a theatre trip to New York. This Broadway is something I would recommend to anybody. It tells the hardships of family and love, hurt and regret. It highlights the ideals and expectations of society, to the strength of feminism and desire. Growing up, everyone in my family knew of The Color Purple. I was excited to see that it has become a play, and the play did not let me down. Not one bit. It was the type of play you would laugh, cry and sympa...

Guyton_A1 Tosca Opera Review Paper

The animation is a spectacle to look at. It changes the scenery in artful movements, almost as if the originally set, which takes place on a grassy hill, is just a dream. Madama Butterfly is well constructed, built out of clay and mechanics. Her stringy hair movement adorably sways in the imaginary wind, and her clothes, which are made out of rags. There must be a reason why the animator wanted her to look like this, versus, the opera where she is an actual geisha in a kimono, whereas, the military man is just a ken doll. I believe he wanted to symbolize a curious innocence within Madama Butterfly. He partakes this story in a very interesting way. He starts it off with the two meeting and all of a sudden connecting without any thought. In the original Madama Butterfly, he originally wanted to take a Japanese wife, he ends up taking Cho-Cho san as his wife, who is, in a sense, Madama butterfly. In the animation, he mates with her and then leaves, as if he was either to never come back...
