Adult Digital Painting with Darlene Ost This Is an Introduction to Digital Adult Digital Painting With Darlene Ost This is an introduction to Digital Painting, for people more comfortable with the software, and/or with some previous experience with digital painting software. We’ll be covering more on workflows, and specific topics on how to approach different subjects with confidence. By the end of this 10-week course, students will have at least 3 quality pieces for personal or portfolio use, getting personal coaching, feedback and critiques every step of the way. Week 1: Introductions & Tools In the first week, we will have a refresher on the tools we will be using with the Krita/Photoshop/Digital Painting software, how to flip the canvas to see changes in a painting, use transform, marquee and clone stamp tools. Week 2: Drawing and Painting Fundamentals This week in class we will have a fundamental refresher and a quick overview on composition, shapes, values, line, light and shadow, completing an observational painting with an object from home. Week 3: Portrait and Still Life Digital Paintings This week we will cover human face general proportions, pairing up and painting each other’s faces digitally or using a mirror and creating a self-portrait, discuss aspects of the face you can realistically manipulate to either caricaturize it, or simply to create a portrait with realistic expressions and personality. Week 4: Environmental Paintings This week we will cover landscapes and/or environmental paintings, how to set a scene with a theme, and understanding perspective and how to apply it. We’ll each create at least 5 environment thumbnails and one or more small digital paintings, and consider story-telling in design. Week 5: Characters and Animals This week, we will cover how to explore character concept art and character illustrations, from human, to humanoid, to animal. We’ll look at examples, collect references, and create our own characters, human, animal or hybrid. Week 6: First Painting This week we will choose a theme and topic (portrait, still life, environment, character/animal), and we’ll be beginning the reference-gathering, ideation/sketching stage of our first painting. Week 7: First Digital Painting: Experimentation & Finish Taking what we've learned in previous classes and experimenting, creating a piece at student's own pace and looking into advanced filters, textures, and matte painting, really pushing the boundaries of the tools learned thus far and creating our second painting to finish. Week 8: Speed Paintings: Planning to Finish This class we will cover the topic of speed paintings and how to approach them, why we do them, and how they help strengthen our skills. Students will complete five small paintings that will take between 10 – 15 minutes. Week 9: Final Painting: Planning For this week, the sky’s the limit-- Students will choose a topic for their final painting, and using techniques (or even paintings) from the previous classes, or bringing in something new if they wish, they will begin their final painting. Week 10: Final Painting: Finishing Touches, When to say When We’ll go through the process of polishing our final paintings, staying in control until the end, continuing to pick out the shapes we want to show, utilizing all the tools we have at our disposal for an amazing finish! Materials/ Equipment: Required: Laptop/Tablet that is able to run digital painting software. Examples: Krita, Medibang Paint Studio, Gimp are all free digital painting programs that can be downloaded on laptops. ProCreate is a new popular Digital painting software on iPad tablets. All of these are acceptable for this class. Medibang Paint Pro, Krita and Gimp software can be downloaded respectfully from: https://medibangpaint.com/en/ https://krita.org/en/download https://www.gimp.org/ Strongly Encouraged: Digital drawing tablet Examples: Wacom or Huion are quite good, this hardware can connect to your computer and allow you to draw with a digital pen and pad, to computer, or sometimes straight to the pad. Without this, you’ll be painting with a mouse, and lacking pressure sensitivity differentiation, which allows for more smooth and natural painting. Regardless, you can still learn, but it will be harder for you. A small object to draw from home (about hand-sized) Examples: A mug, a deodorant stick, a matchbook, paperweight, pop can, cactus, etc. .

  • Working on a Large Staff Gave Me the Ability to Work Both Individually and with Other
    Working on a large staff gave me the ability to work both individually and with other. This resulted in works that felt both personal and collaborative, a good mix for a yearbook. Through the year I took different approaches to my work, sometimes these approaches produced interesting and refreshing takes on visuals and other times it did not. I learned through experimentation how to move past first-level creativity and create unique and visually pleasing illustrations that fit the theme of the yearbook. The first half of the production cycle, the majority of my work was done by hand using traditional materials. Through critique and revision, most works were either reworked into a digital setting to give a cleaner and more modern look. Comments and constructive criticism given to me by the advisor, editors, and outside experts pushed me to step outside of what had been comfortable and create fresher visuals. This worked especially well for the eclipse spread, where the portraits were originally hand-drawn. By revising the aesthetic of the portraits in Illustrator, I was able to create a more cohesive piece that fit the overall feel of the spread. Throughout the year I taught myself how to better use a Wacom tablet and Adobe programs. By using my previous experience with Wacom tablets and Adobe programs, along with skills and techniques used in traditional art I quickly picked up the quirks of a professional tablet and professional level programs. Adobe PhotoShop was the program I knew the best and graphics were made using this program during the first half of production.

Software Descriptions 37 G. Software and App Inventory by School 56 2 PURPOSE This report provides a comprehensive description of the critical role that digital technology plays in the Bedford Public Schools, both operationally and as a primary vehicle for teaching and learning. These data and their accompanying explanations demonstrate that we have arrived at a watershed period, a phenomenon in no means specific to Bedford, whereby education has become inseparable from the technology of the times, and that a well-planned ongoing investment in our infrastructure, devices and software is a necessity. Wonderful work is being done every day by students and teachers at all four of Bedford’s schools using teaching and learning tools that have been acquired through board and town approved capital budgets and operating budgets, supplemented by grants from organizations such as the Bedford Education Foundation. The lion’s share of the hardware, however, has been purchased via building projects, and according to identifiable life cycles and on-the-ground assessment, much of its replacement is well overdue.

CONTACT / SOCIAL MEDIA . 41 - 43 1. ABOUT 1. ABOUT THE ARTIST Hello! I’m an illustrator, designer and animator based in México City. Since I was a kid I had a big passion for drawing, creating my own stories and characters and it was at the age of 15 that I began to consider a career focu- sed on visual arts and communication, that’s why a took a four years course of manga style drawing at Association ACIA (Asociación Cultural para la Investi- gación sobre Asia). Thanks to this experience I finally decided to study Animation and Visual Effects in the college Centro Universitario Incarnate Word (CIW) also located in Méxi- co City. I stand out in the Pre-Production field, I do thumbnails, storyboards, screenplays and character design; I also enjoy to do 2D animation. As for my personal style and interests, I’m strongly influenced by anime, car- toons, videogames, manga, mythology, YA books and webcomics. My work focuses a lot on suspense, horror and fiction but I always like to intro- duce real aspects on it; also I always try to promove the free expression and diversity with love and respect. I have participated as an artist and mod in various fan events and fan zines about multiple tv series, anime, manga, books and movies. Spanish is my main language, I’m fluent in English and I have basic knowledge of French.
