Special Edition Blog- Extra Credit Yo

"Flattery Gets you Everywhere" by Laura Raymond. 2010

this is Nate

Concept: Creep Nate out/ possibly flatter him to increase chance of a good grade in the class with this extra credit blog.

Craft: I made a brush out of a sketch of Nate, then applied it using only blacks and grays all over the page until the page was covered by the image. I used my signature brush to sign the image.

Composition: One of the brush strokes is especially darker and this makes sure you can see details that the other strokes leave out due to the lightness of color. 

"Covered Up"

Craft: The color orange for the background, white for the brush. One stroke.  Brush made from a mask that I drew on and scanned in. 

Concept: This is a representation of how I feel about communicating my ministry when I'm not practicing it, through my peer minister position.

Composition: There are many things, even though it was turned into one brush. There is a tree on top to represent the Renew program, a mask over one eye to represent hiding motives, and the bottom of the face is half coexist, a religious cohesion statement of tolerance, and my version of the beach with waves & sand to represent retreats. It has a good balance and color doesnt clash.
