Peace out fam

By Anonymous

So, it's my last blog post. I just want to take this post to thank everyone who helped me out through my DMA struggles, and to give some advice to the upcoming AP DMA kids.
I wanna thanks both Shields and Barnes for dealing with my craziness for the past 4 years, I know I've been a handful, so thank you guys for putting up with me. And thanks to my AP DMA fam for being the best class I could have wished for. You guys are some of my best friends and even though we're all going to different schools, I'll be sure to stalk you guys on social media and text you nonstop.
Here's some advice to the new AP DMAers-- Shields is always right. Even if she tells you something you don't want to hear, or if she critiques your favorite project, in the end her vision is seldom wrong. Don't take it personally, she's just improving you as an artist. The class is hard, the workload is intense, but it's the best class I've ever taken. It's more fun than DMA 1 because you get to really explore your strengths and passions. Don't give up halfway through the year- keep trying hard on everything you do even if you don't feel like it. Also, don't get too attached to your first Concentration idea, because you're probably going to change it a billion times before you settle on one idea. It's a process.
I'm going to be attending the University of Cincinnati, College of Design, Art, Architecture and Planning (DAAP) for Communication Design this fall. This class really helped me decide what to do after high school and I'm so excited to do digital art for the rest of my life.

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

Speed Painting

By
This a painting made in Photoshop by a guy who goes by the name " The Concept Painter " on Youtube. He does lots of Photoshop speed painting videos and also air brush videos. This particular painting took him 3.5 hours to complete and was made using a drawing tablet similar to the ones we use in our class.

Another Comic Book Artist (Woo!): Annie Wu

By Anonymous
 If you have talked to me for more than one minute, I am a huge nerd. So, I am making another post about comic book artists. This time it's Annie Wu. She's a comic book artists who lives in Chicago, and is one of my inspiration artists for my sustained investigation. A lot of her work is dramatic with deep and dark lines with bold colors which is makes style perfect for where I first found her work. I first saw her work in the Black Canary book in 2017. Eventually, I will talk about Marvel comic book artists, but not today. If you want to check out more of her work, here is her website:  https://www.anniewuart.com/
