Animation

One of my favorite animations, or favorite animated film, is Finding Nemo.  The thing I appreciate the most about this animation is how realistically the animation and images are portrayed.  The story primarily takes place underwater, and the artist has created so much movement and color into every detail.  The story is that Nemo (a fish) gets taken away by humans, and then Marlin (Nemo's father) with the help of a friend travel a great distance to find Nemo.  I feel like the artist of this film creates various sequences that help to illustrate this journey, and each sequence becomes more and more dramatic, until the climax, in which they find Nemo.   By various techniques in animation, the artist builds up to the climax by incorporating movement, sound, which in turn creates a highly affective story line and overall beautiful piece.  

Continuing with the Web Art Project

I am feeling more and more satisfied with the way things are going with the web art project.  I am finally at the point where I am linking the different pages I have created together.  Again, this project is about color and how color can portray a different mood or emotion.  It is my goal that, when people look at the various images to this project, that they will question what mood or emotion a color can portray.  Each page that I have will flash back and forth between two different opposing colors, with the intent of creating a different tone.  Although this is a personal piece, and I have incorporated my personal opinions, it is wide open for interpretation.  Here are more examples of the pages I am putting into this piece (above).

 Currently we are working on our web art projects.  My idea is that I wanted to create a piece based on color.  Basically, it is a study of how color can portray different moods.  Most of my images are being created on Photoshop.  I am using the main colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple...and each color has its own page.  I know that different colors mean different things to different people, but this is more about what each of these colors means to me.  Here are some examples of what I have so far (above).
