Project 3: The Cyclical Nature of Things 

The following images reflect my interpretation of "The Cyclical Nature of Things" by showing my cycle of daily travel to and from school. I chose not to present images of traveling on the public bus because I did not want to impede on the privacy of others and use their image in my personal works.

There was a particular tree I had noticed as I walked towards the Schaefer Center that had a few leaves on a particular branch that were barely hanging on. On several consecutive days I would take a photo of those leaves to see if anything significant would change over time. I found the nature around me in the spring season was very interesting and beautiful, despite the lack of full leaves.

Project 4: In-Progress & First Final

This post is for an in-progress critique. I feel that it is pretty close to complete / resolved. I decided to keep the open space on the lower left panel and write a haiku about the images. Growth of life can be Full of unknown and known Blessings are made clear I used natural brush filters and effects to make the middle and right images look like a painting, and then used my Wacom tablet to hand-paint the background and around the figures. I also used the Wacom tablet to completely draw the Ultrasound image. I used yellow in the middle panel to represent the fear I felt at and right before the birth due to the high-risk pregnancy I had, as well as the emergency c-section delivery. I chose the use of the blue color for the right panel to represent the calm and good health of our present day.

I decided to work on the illustration for The Gemini Virus, as I didn't get any feedback since my last post and I felt strongly about this story. I looked up hospital rooms on this royalty free image site, Pixabay.com, to set a base for my illustration. Here's the original image: Here's my progress on adjusting the image and creating an illustration:

Project 4: Updating Progress

Although I thought the last version was pretty resolved I started adjusting the elements, taking away the triptych frame and the open space where the haiku was typed. I used the Wacom tablet to hand-write the haiku and adjusted the size and position of the first and second images. I also added a bit of black outline to the middle and last image to make them less photorealistic. I had natural media filters on them to make them look like paintings in the last version, but I guess at a low resolution on a screen it might have been harder to tell. This is IN-PROGRESS, and I am trying to think of how to further develop and resolve this latest version. Part of me wants to "complete" the ultrasound image that I drew, but I think a bigger part of me wants to leave the hard edges. Below is the original image. At that stage of development the technician could not fit the entire baby in the view because he had gotten bigger. Earlier ultrasound images don't have such a cute baby...
