Week Seven Blog

Today's session was based on using corel painter x again, however this time we used the clone tool and discovered how to create an animation. I found the animation tool very useful and I had managed to create three moving pictures. Now that i have discovered this tool i am now thinking that want to include it into my artworks. I am thinking that my regret and drunk images will incorporate the animation. With the animation I will be using text based flashes. At the moment I will play around with the tool and see what looks best in terms of effect and colours to suit the image.
presentations today were great, I really enjoyed the framed images that were influenced by Andy Wahol. Oliva's work will look great and I'm looking forward to watching her cloud video.
overall the classes ideas and concepts of how the perceived things and what their meaning is beahind their work is really interesting.

- video didnt work, took to long to load, i will try put it up next week!
This is one of the animations I made. I really like it and it didn't take very long.

Week 6
In today's session we discovered how to use corel painter x. This program is great as it has a huge variety of tools and art techniques you can use to create a desired look. The lighting tool works really well, in the image i had added three lights to the top of the image. Using the pen to draw is alot easier when your drawing on the paper, however when you use the pen to try and click on a tool i found it difficult. I think i will be using the pen with the mouse so I don't take as long when trying to select a tool. Another technique that i found interesting in corel painter x was the water colour brush, it really portrays the actual visual look of water colour, all the way down to the splatter effect you can get by accident. The images that i have posted were just a quick practice, learning how to use the tools and find out different effects. The green leaves are from a photo i took at the beach testing out the macro function on my camera. I have simply added a lighting tool over the top and created the look of the center leave having sunshine on the top of it.
