Oh boy, this project was by far the most tedious and mentally challenging project I have ever done! I used these little glitter sequence pieces on a 12x12 inch piece of wood. Because of the size of the glitter, my grid ended up being 48x59! I used more than 2,800 of those glitter pieces and safe to say it took me quite a while. I really do love how the final product turned out and it was well worth my time spent. I wanted to do a sun and a moon because it related to my flip book animation. I honestly didn't like how mediocre my flip book was, so I wanted to go above and beyond for this project. The hardest part was figuring out the layout of the design. Once the layout was done, gluing the pieces on wasn't challenging, just very time consuming and sticky to say the least. I used a heavy duty glue stick to put the pieces on and the glitter kept sticking to my fingers. I had to get a good system going and I ended up moving pretty fast towards the end. This has def...
This flip book is a love story of the sun and the moon. They both develop on their own and then fall in love, all the while the moon is being selfish and only wants the spotlight for himself. When he diminishes after engulfing the sun, a beautiful sunflower grows and out comes the sun. It was a representation of how the light will always overcome the darkness in any situation. Doing this flip book was honestly a lot more difficult than I would have ever imagined. Making sure that the images were close enough to flow smoothly throughout was a big challenge for me. I found myself ripping out pages and starting over multiple times. I was happy that I got to do this project, however, because it tapped into a creative side of me that I haven't seen in a while and was able to express myself through illustration and animation again. https://youtu.be/C-k6Mf1waNM
When I first heard of ASCII art back in high school, I was always so intrigued with the idea behind it all. Everyone uses text symbols in their day to day lives, whether it be online or on social media. But using these characters and symbols to create complete and complex pieces of art blew my mind. I understand that art takes a lot of time and patience in every type of piece that is created, but this type of art takes this idea to a whole new level. Knowing exactly what characters to use and in what specific spots to get the entire piece to flow throughout must take so much time and precision, not to mention accuracy. If even one little character is off in the flow of the piece could throw off the entire thing. I had done something like this in my coding class. I had to use the '*' specifically to spell out my name in coding language. It was harder than normal ASCII art because I had to use coding, but it produces the same type of result. I can't even imagine if these AS...
