Process Poster

  The accumulation of all my work so far! Finally I have put it all together. From the very basic box sketches to my very own concept model. It's taken a lot of work and I've almost felt like giving up, but it was worth it in the end. It was interesting seeing how it all ties together. The first part of this was, of course, to pick my artist. Michael Parkes has been one of my favorite artists since the very first time I walked into my best friends house! One of Parkes' paintings was hung in the entryway and I've been captivated by it since.
  After I picked my artist and did a little research on him I picked a nature object that reflected his work. But of course his work is only people and animals. Plus any nature that falls under the category of earth, stone, water, or wind. How could I choose from that? So I picked a swan feather in the end. He uses a lot of swans in his artwork.
  Now I had to put it together! All my previous research and other projects I've posted (particularly the line project) had to be compiled into one idea. My 2-D Concept Sketch is what I came up with. (There are also a few other ideas on the poster).
  Lastly, I finally made it 3-D. This was the part that made me really want to give up. I have never been very good with any 3-D artwork from what I've experience. 2-D is my comfort zone! So building this model gave me a lot of difficulty. I feel a little disappointed with it because I wanted it to be more abstract and creative, but in the end I think it's a great display of my artist and my past work. It really wraps it all up, even if it isn't the crazy project I expected.
  Hope you enjoy!
