grid art



This peice of art is supposed to resemble Bob Marley because he is one of my favorite singers. To start off, I drew lines and put a grid on my canvas then I labled each square with the color I wanted to use in it. After that, I just painted it in and outlined it in black and then ta da!

Stop Motion Animation

The stop motion video I made took a while to paint the background and cut out all the little sea animals, and I faced difficulty with keeping the background in place and trying to remember which direction each animal was swimming in. In general, I  had a lot of fun with this project! To me, the process of brainstorming ideas was the best part, along with seeing the whole video at the end after hours of working on it. The theme I chose, under the sea, was meaningful to me in the sense that I    am a lover of water and sea animals (on the contrary it was not meaningful in the sense that the shark was feeding, although it adds drama which is important to keep the viewers attention).

In addition, I used photos of my hands to represent the hands and feet of a man who is casually walking down the street. Of course since this isn't how a man looks, the sky is painted purple and white to represent a parallel universe.

Skrillex The one-person band, Skrillex, makes dubstep/EDM types of music. Sonny John Moore, aka Skrillex, is an American record producer, DJ, singer, songwriter and musician. The use of instruments such as a synthesizer, drum machine and bass gives the music a techno kind of vibe; Skrillex usually does not put lyrics into his music but when he does it is usually very repetitive, for example, in the song First Of The Year, he repeats "Baby you've got a (ah) ni-ni-nightmare. Baby you've got a nightmare (oh babe). Baby you've got, a nightmare!" In addition, in the song Bangarang, he repeats, "Shout to all my lost boys, sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-shouts to all my lost boys we rowdy." While watching the music videos Skrillex provides a story for each one, even though theres no story told in the lyrics. Skrillex was one of the first popular dubstep bands and his music quickly became popular; in fact the song Rock N' Roll (Will Take You To The Mountain) was one
