Farewell DMA

As the end of senior year approaches, I want to reflect on my time spent in DMA. Digital Media Arts has truly become my outlet for creativity over the last few years. I have learned so much about myself through my art. It has grown so much since freshman year, when I took Intro, barely knowing how to use Photoshop.  DMA has allowed for a number of opportunities throughout high school, including getting to attend BPA Nationals in Anaheim, California and placing among the top ten in the nation with my teammates, having my artwork displayed at the Taft Museum, Art Academy of Cincinnati, and the senior art show, and having the opportunity to earn many awards. In DMA, I have learned important skills that are vital in my future, made new friendships, and came to terms with my creativity.
For those of you entering APDMA, I wanted to take a second and give you some advice.  DMA is what you make of it. Allow yourself to have fun being creative. As you begin to make pieces, you will find that your artwork has a voice of its own. It is inevitable that you will experience creative block- we all do- but don't let that get you down. Spend time making your pieces reflect who you are. Explore creative methods and take every opportunity to grow as an artist. 
This fall, I will be attending the University of Cincinnati. I plan on studying business at the Lindner College of Business in the Circle of Excellence Program. I do plan on continuing to create art as a hobby. Thank you to all who have made my time in DMA enjoyable!!

Last Blog Post

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

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

 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/
