"So how did artschool work out?": My Ringling Precollege projects

So basically a day ringling precollege meant waking up for breakfast at 7 and after that point, creating art nonstop from 8:00 am to about 9:45 pm which was wonderful and something I wouldnt mind doing for the rest of my life, especially because I feel like this experience has made me a better artist in more than one way. Anyway, lunch is at 12 and anything before that is a "core classs" which rotated between Still Life, figure drawing, 4d(using time as the fourth dimension), sculpture, and digital( essentially, Photoshop class). Here's some of my digital work for now because I dont have a lot of my other work from my core classes photographed yet:
project #1: a simplified animal silhouette--a salamander, I was lucky to have some Photoshop knowledge under my belt for this class


Project #2: creating the feeling of a season (mine being summer) using abstract shapes and blending modes
Project #3: using a still from a movie and changing the focal point of the shot utilizing contrast 
Project #4: Use a portion of a song and illustrate the music through abstract shapes representing beats in the song (I used Weight of Living Part 1 by Bastille)



Back from Ringling Precollege

Naturally, the first thing you do when you get back from art school is draw so I was messing around in photoshop and made this. I used the Kuler extension in photoshop to create the pallette and I really like how the colors work together here.
