Follinger Hall:

Stages

PICTURE SELECTION

The First picture I took was at the University

of Illinois campus in Champaign-Urbana at thecourt yard, I took this image because the angle

and the depth were ver natural and very calm

Took the image on the top of my truch in the

front of my home to get a sky line view focusingon the tops of the houses and showing a great

amount of lights and darks on how the sun

reects onto the trees in the morning.

This pictue was taken in a dorm room to show

a overview of the whole campus at The Univer-

sity of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. Although

this picture shows a great amount of land and

area i didnt like it because the screen was in

the way and distorted the image greatly

I Took this picute outside of my house in Oak

Lawn by setting the camera on the street and

taking a snap shot of basically what you would

see if you were lieing on the oor looking down

the street, however i did not like it because the

car off to the side which distorts it in my eyes.

My favorite picture i took was this one in the middle of a courtyard at the University of Illinois campus at

Champaign-Urbana. I like this picture the most because of the signicance of the building at the center

of the image which is Follinger Hall the most well known lecture hall on the campus. This photo alsoshows a great amount of distance and detail because I believe i found the best distance away from the

building to capture as much detail and the surrounding area of the building in question

First OutlineThis is my rst outline of the picture of

Follinger Hall although there are many

rough spots that need to be smoothed our

for instance the background surrounding

the building needs to have a lot more detail

that I could see right away. Things that

need improvemetn in this image would be

the tree line the bushes in front of the build-

ing. Some things I was able to do well wasillustrate the darkness of the building to as

well as the detail of the buildings pillars and

styalistic windows

Outline Process

I believe my initial work went well with my rst draw -

ing, and I hope to improve on many things before

the due date. I plan to add much more detail, such

as Shadows for the trees and for the building in my

photo. I also hope to change some of my previous

work and smooth out a lot of my lines such as in thesidewalk. The peer review of my project helped me

greatly and really opened me up to many new ideas

and different directions to take my project in as well.

The craft of the photo that I have changed form

my original draft was that I originally had a very

light shade over the building that did a bad job of

depicting the actual color scheme of the building. I

believe I did a good job in using the dropper tool in

the building this time around showing the darks and

lights in the building. I also used the gradient toolfrom right to left with a dark brown to a lighter brown

to show the shadow line better across the building. I

also was able to better better illustrate the sidewalk

and darken the color in it better to draw attention

My initial work in my craft I was able to outline

everything with the pen tool, my main focus on

getting every aspect of the outline correctly was

the building in the center of the picture. I also was

able to use the dropper tool to be able to accurately

represent the colors in the photograph. I believemy craft draws immediate attention to the sidewalk

which I plan to change in my work with the change

of the color.

away from it even though my eye is still immedia

drawn to it.

The composition in this project I believe is done

well. all of the colors are similar in there value wh

is dark. The only part of this project that I see has

a very different value than the rest of the project

the sidewalk which is very bright. The character othis picture i believe is a very quiet and peaceful

around with the absence of extreme brightness i

the picture.

Change of Focus

The craft of this work is monochromatic work-

ing from a range of browns to show the darks, the

lights, and the middle area of the picture. I chose

brown to continue the dark features of the build-

ing and to blend the background in better to better

depict the focus of the picture, while the original

outline of the picture brought the focus to the

sidewalk using brown in the monochromatic work

brought out the key focus on the building. The

concept of this work is a much darker sense of the

original picture to demonstrate a heavier amount of

feeling when looking at the picture rather than the

light feeling and less of a meaning that the origi-

that I completed; the craft of this image

brought the key focus of the eyes directly to

the sidewalk. I didnt depict the photos colorsproperly onto the building which distorted the

image greatly and caused frst glimpse views

to be confused on where the shadow lines

are and the focus of the image was on. The

concept of this was to brighten up all of the

colors in the area to show all the details of the

building before I was able to depict the proper

nal work expressed. The outlines on the bui

and the trees also bring out a darker sense w

creepiness of the outline almost like a Hallo

colors on the building to show the shadow

lines and the background colors accurately.

The composition of this image brought focus

to the brightest part of the image which wasthe sidewalk when I illustrated it and then after

that the eyes would jump from the building

to the sky immediately after focusing on the

sidewalk. I learned from this photo that I need

to give the image a better identity and show

the exact focus of the picture.

Art Institute of Chicago

First Photo

I liked this photo mostly for its craft with

all of the different showings of color

schemes and the darks in the lights

really bring out whats important in thepicture instead of drawing your inten-

tion all of over the page I work my way

from left to right on it noticing the keys

to it along the way. The concept of this

photo is very dark and very disturbing

in my eyes seeing all of the masked g -

ures and especially the aming giraffe

in the background which really confused

me. The composition of this photo that

I can see is that the artist attempted to

create a dark landscape and portrait

a very dark moment in his/her life or a

dark period in time.Second Photo

I chose this piece of art as one of

my top three because it shocked me

as well with what the artist was able

to accomplish, with all of the death

in the art work to the man alive in

the left side of the work. The craft of

this picture does a great job of utal -

izing the entire piece of work and not

leaving out any information, which

bounces my eyes around everything

in the piece of art. Although I am

initially drawn to the duck because ofthe brightness of it in the art work after

I see that I just jump to everything else

immediatly after. The concept of this

photo in my eyes is that this artist is

portraiting death all around this man

as if he were a dangerous and wealthy

person maybe abusing his power with

all of his food and fruit that makes him

seem as a rich person. So this image

really gives me the idea that this man

was overtaken by his wealth to be-

come very abusive of what is available

to him. Lastly the composition of thisphoto is very blatant with its arrange-

ment of everything that is going on in

the work making all of your focus go to

the dead animals.

Krannert Art MuseumWalking around I

noticed a display case

with twenty sculptures

like this one only 6

inches tall this piece

drew my attention

specically because the

texture and the amount

of detail.The craft of

this sculpture drew myattention because of the

artists ability to show

so much detail in such

a small space show-

ing the lights and dark

with how he carved the

piece. The conceptualpart of this sculpture

showed me was a trav-

eling and depressing

pair of people who look

like they are having a

hard time with there

travel by their facial ex-

pressions. This art was

made in Asia during

the 15th century and i

believe it depicted the

travel and the hardships

of the time, this artistwas able to succelffully

depict that. The Animal

they are riding brought

confusion to me to what

it could be since it look

very unfamiliar but I

wasnt able to discoverthat from the caption for

the sculpture.

This is the rst piece

I noticed this photo at

the Kranert Art Muse-

um in Champaign-Ur-

bana. The Craft of this

photo is what initiallydrew my attention with

all of the bright colors

in it jumping out at

you, and how messy it

initially looks but after

looking at it for a mo-

ment you realize what

is really going on and

I depicted it as a per-

sons view of life with

the drink on the oor

and the light in the air

and the sloppiness of the

picture with the tire being

destroyed on the oor

showed me the Concept

of this photo clearly of a

messy life for the personwho created this piece

of art. The Composition

of this photo used many

different colors but of

the same hue with an

extremely bright colorful

piece of art just drawing

all of your attention to

it with no real place to

focus on, in the picture

you just have to take it all

in at once.

Lastly I found my favorite piece

of art which is the world drawn

with human footprints showing

our footprint in the world as the

signicance of the painting. The

composition of this photo is all

footprints of people just walking

in circles with the paint fading

using just one color, black to

show how strong our footprint

on the Earth has been. The

craft of this piece of art is meantto display the Earth as how we

have made an impact on it in so

many different levels from good

things to bad things humans

have brought to this earth, the

craft is all footprints and nothing

else to put our main focus on

the key part of the artwork the

footprint we have left on earth.

This paintings true signicance

is a strong one with our footpring

on the world from the good to the

bad, from global warming to in-

troducing new and efcient ways

to create energy. Or even the

usage of Nuclear Weapons andthe many oil spills in the oceans

of the world creating our footprin-

gas inhabitants of the world.

SideWalk View

This image wasnt created by me but it drew

my attention very well while going through

the documents from class. I like this image

because of the extremeness of the outline

on the mailbox, on the power lines, and onmany other features in this photo. This il-

lustratino gives a very strong feeling of what

not to focus on as well as what to focus on.

What I focus on this picture immediatly is

the mail box in the very front of it image. ButI am drawn away from multiple features in

this illustration due to the crazyness going

on with in it, such as the sidewalk and the

grass going along the sidewalk as well as

the skky to an extent. I overall enjoy this

image to becausethe exactness and all the

features it brings into it that most illustra-

tions i have seen stray away from bringing

out every aspect of the image while thisone seems to bring out every inch that was

given in the photo that she took. from the

stop sign to the tree line this picture brings

great detail and a felling of scariness and

darkness from the outlines within it.

For this image i wanted to create more of a contrast within the landscape. In the original picture the

sky was one of the objects that did not draw immediate attention so in order to do so i chose to make

the sky the complimentary color of the rest of the landscape so that it would draw more attention from

the viewer.

Bottles

These are three image I cre-

ated using the pen and pad

the above image was my

nal draft of the three. Before

I discus that my rst two

were the ones featured to

the right of the page the rst

one I used all horizontal lines

to illustrate the water bottle I

was drawing. I chose the wa-

ter bottle because it was the

simplest thing I could think

of to depict and would havejust as much detail and light

differences throughout it. In

the horizontal lines image I

used short and long strokes

to create an uneveness

throughout the image. The

nex image I used only verti-

cal lines to depict it which

gave a stronger length to the

water bottle as well as gave

more strength to the curves

in the drawing. I then com-

bined them together to cre-

ate a drawing that used both

vertical along with horizontal

lines to depict the image

most accuratly giving life to

its vertical based features as

well as its horizontal based

features. I learned a lot

from this exercise becauseit showed me what simply

changing the direction of a

line can do for an illustration.

The change of a direction in

a line shows many new fea-

tures that wouldnt have been

seen before. Things such as

the horizontal indents going

across the bottle could

have only been brought out

in the image with horizontal

lines in them. with veritcal

lines I able to accuratly

describe the curvy shape of

the bottle while bringing out

the hieght of it as well while

the horizontal line made

the water bottle seem fat in

a sense the vertical lines

gave it its true shape and

size.

Monochromatic Paint Brush

My illustration of this teapotconsisted of multiple cords

surounding the teapot

while the teapot stand in

the middle. I used three

different shades of green

to illustrate the darks, the

lights, and the area in

between as well. I like this

illustration i made because

I saw it as the rst time I

got closest to perfect with

describing the lights and

the darks with my paint

brush tool in Adobe Il-

lustrater. I used the middle

color as the top layer of the

image, then the darkest

green and in the back ofthe image i put the lightest

shade of green. I was ableto use many diffenerent

stokes to depict this setting

with no real focus on any

part of it. The feeling I get

by the view of this image is

a brightness of the focus on

the teapot but with a very

different surrounding to

show that everything has an

equal share of the viewers

eyes and deserves to come

out in its own way to depitct

that the key focus of this im-

age is to notice everything

going on in it.

The original drawing with lights and darks shown by Blacks and

white with the gray area being the background

The change to a Monochromatic image I changed the colors to the lights and darks to being different

shade of green.

Other Illustrationsof Interest

To evaluate this image It re-

ally makes me think of what

the image is really of and

what is the purpose of it while

using so many different lines

from virtical to horizontal and

even curvy lines to illustrate

multiple different teapots at

the same time. I like how thebackground is just black so

the illustrator can just focus

on the shape and what is

going on in the setting in front

of this person to properly

illustrate it in the future with

the proper lights and darksand the middle area as well.

To evaluate this illustra-

tion I see this as a great

example of doing every

to focus on the shape of

the item to bring out whatit really is ultimatly. This

illustration of an apple

shows that straight lines

can be distorted to make

something entirely differ-

ent to bring out the focus

of any object while showin

the lights and darks still.

I found this illustration aswell that drew my atten-

tion. This is an illustration

of a hat resting on a table.

The hat is described with

mnay variations of lines.

The strokes used are not

even identieable theyare so variated throughout

the illustration. But, what i

immediatly noticed in this

illustration was that the

illustrator outline the hat

before starting it whichmakes me focus more on

the shape of the hat more

than the details within it. I

never really believed that

creating an outline in my

illustrations distorted the

viewers focus so much untili could see it within another

persons illustration. I can

also see in this image that

there is a C on the hat

which is represtented as

an entirely light featurethe hat. I noticed the lig

and darks through out

image being illustrated

black or white in this im

which shows me that th

light focused mostly on

the center of this illstrawhile the darks faded t

brim of the hat and of t

edge
