Thumb Print Word Play

This is my fourth and final picture of the word play series. The real word was thumb print as in the pattern on your thumb that the cops record, but I changed it to a picture of a thumb printing out. Believe it or not it was difficult to find a picture of a printer in an office so I just ended up using a picture of a plain printer. I liked this greatly enjoyed this project because you got to put your own twist on things however you imagined it.

My Kid Could Do That

We watched a movie in class about a four year old that adored painting. She painted abstracts that resembled work of many other famous abstract artists. Soon her painting began to grow in interest from nearly everyone. After a while she paintings were being ordered before she actually even painted them yet. Then a question was raised about whether or not she was the sole artist of her paintings, implying that her father helped her or enhanced them before being sold. The title of the movie is "My Kid Could Do That" because anyone could paint what she was painting, the only thing that was getting her so well-known was the fact that she was only four years old. Our assignment was to create an abstract painting however we wanted. I enjoyed this project because it let us be creative and go free.

Sesame Street Cartoon

For this project I worked with Linda and Harris to make a comic strip. This comic strip is about the sesame street clan here at Western. Personally, I made the Bert and Ernie picture, put all the pictures together and made the dividers and speech bubbles. This was an alright project I just wish that we had more of a guide line because it was somewhat difficult to come up with a plot. To make the pictures have a some-what cartoon look we added the poster edges filter. All in all I think it turned out pretty nicely.
