Special Edition-Final Gallery Visit

Beverly Art Center

I visited the Beverly Art Center and viewed their gallery which at the time was filled with art contributed by local artists. There were many different types of art in this gallery. There was photography, mixed media, sculptures, drawings, and my favorite was the mixed media. I loved seeing the things that people did with material that you would never think were art materials.
The last photograph that I took was a mixed media project titled "young love" and it was done by painting jeans and positioning them. This project won an award and I think it was deserving because I never would have thought of using clothing materials to base my art project.

That link sends you to the purchasing page of my book completed for computer graphics called "Artistic Combinations." The book exactly as the title states, a combination of the art that I have created while a student at Saint Xavier University.

Week 13

My Magazine Cover

My front cover was constructed around one of the projects I completed for my graphic design 1 class. I chose this picture because it was one that I had not used within the contents of my magazine. I inverted the colors so that the art would show up onto a black background and then chose a font for my title that went along with the overall feel of the art displayed. I chose the name artistic combinations because that is exactly what the contents of my magazine are. They are a vast combination of the artwork that I completed while earning my minor in graphic art at Saint Xavier University.
