Last DMA Blog Post!

I remember first taking Intro to DMA as freshman and immediately knowing that I wanted to take that class forever. I couldn't wait to take DMA I. And then I couldn't wait to take AP. And now that I'm at the end of all of it, it's hard to count the ways that DMA has shaped my life. I remember liking DMA because it was art that I couldn't do. Other art classes like drawing or painting used skills I had already been practicing, but I had never done anything like DMA. It was beyond challenging, as I am terrible with computers, but that's what made it so appealing. On top of that Mrs. Shields and Mrs.Barnes made their classes challenging to pass. In other art classes, I could float through, make a couple pieces, get a 98% and head home. With DMA I had to fight to get the grades I wanted. It was art that pushed me, and I loved it so, so much.

In the fall I am attending the Honors Tutorial College at OU to study Production Design and Technology. I hope to continue making art and learning new skills.

Currently my favorite SI piece is my newest one. It's made to reflect Coronavirus. Wash your hands! The quote on the hands and arms were taken from news articles about the pandemic.

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/
