Process Binder #4

The past few weeks, I have made a lot of progress in regards to my Capstone Project for CPSA250/CPSA201. Not only did I fully complete my first portrait of Jean-Michel Basquiat, but I also completed my journal entry in connection to my visits to the Freedom School in DC with Do Better. In fact, I also have gotten well into working on my presentation through Prezi for ArtsFest and will post a link to it. Below is a portion of my journal for my Do Better visit:

During my visits to the DC Freedom School with Do Better, a community service-centered student organization that has chapters at the University of Maryland, College Park, Morehouse College, Bowie State University, and Howard University; I have had the opportunity to truly see the importance of representation manifest with my own two eyes. I have been blessed enough to have had countless opportunities to interact with and develop mentor-mentee bonds with children who look like younger versions of myself, and take me back to a time where I once did not love myself, people, history, or culture; and had no idea how to.

After volunteering with organizations and initiatives including the Blue Drop Initiative, the Slam the Gap Initiative, America Counts; and even my actual paid junior and senior counselor positions with Forcey Day Camp, one would think that I had reached my maximum potential and hit the quota on knowledge of the importance of representation. This presumption is false.

At my last visit to the Freedom School, I saw things beginning to come full circle in regards to the kids. Although I have not been able to visit too often due to scheduling conflicts with my internship at the Office of Community Engagement last semester or my job as a Marketing and Technology Assistant with the Office of Multi-Ethnic Student Education this semester, many of the kids recognized me immediately - even with yet another different hairstyle than what they had seen during my previous visits. Not only did they recognize myself and my two peers that I went with, Liz and Maimouna, but their faces literally lit up as the light bulb went off in their heads. With the Black Panther soundtrack blasting in the background and its bass making the gravel quake, we moved on to play “Red Light, Green Light” with our scholars and, dance to other current hits that they were familiar with. hen the sun eventually set, we read books with them inside to place an emphasis on and plant seeds of literacy and scholarship in young, impressionable framers of our future.

Process Binder Check #3

Here is another piece, this one is based around the recipe, Alfajores de Manjarblanco, which is often Peruvian, but this recipe was from Chile. I used the Chilean national flower.

I also had a critique with Ella. It was very useful going through each step, and I felt less nervous critiquing her work because it was worded in such a positive way. Also, I was more receptive of her neutral questions and opinions, so I was able to think of them more critically. For example, she suggested that I tie each color scheme to the flower. While I disagreed because most of the flowers tend to be the same color, it got me thinking that I could make the design of the piece based on the flower type.

Sketches for the upcoming project.

[rachelscpsarts]

So I started sketching Raven today and was doing alright…until I ran into a “problem”? more of a conceptual dilemma, I suppose, but I suddenly realized that, being a raven, I had vaguely but not emphatically based the compositional details off of the Edgar Allen Poe poem of the same name, and therefore wondered if I should more consciously include more. None of the rest of the birds (Robin, Kingfisher, Hummingbird) really have many/any symbolic ties though, so I worry that saturating only one with symbolism would skew the harmony of the four when put together… (this kind of all stemmed from the window in the BG and wondering whether I should draw it open or closed :/ esp cause closed = caged bird cliche but that’s not exactly what I want to convey?) Thoughts?

What’s it’s Been Like Meeting Different Women of Color:

In the end, we interviewed 14 different women of color; asians (south and east), middle easterners, africans (west and north), caribbeans, latinas, and women with mixed ethnicities. It surely was an experience meeting with all of them and listening to what they had to say. Just like what Merissa and I wanted, we wanted to hear something different from what we tell ourselves everyday. 

As two black women of the same age and living situation, our experiences as women of color are close to being the same; because we had a variety of women, we received multiple answers to questions we always ask ourselves. However, there was one question that ultimately united all of us together; what do you love about being a woman of color? Every single woman we interviewed responded with, “I love being different”. There’s such a liberating and exhilarating feeling connected to having another culture tied to you. As we all learned to accept and love who we are in a society where misrepresentation is prevalent, our culture is what pushes us up. 

If we had more time, I would have loved to meet up with other women of color. Many of them told us to continue with this project if we could. It’s something we’ve been thinking about actually. We now know that we aren’t the only ones who find this topic so important and close to our hearts.

CPSA Process Binder Week 1, Entry 2:

I have sorted and organized my materials by color, and somewhat by material. This day was mainly about seeing what I have, but also looking at which clothes I want to use where in each painting. For example, I think that I decided that the pink pillow case with the flowers and rope-like trimming is going to be partly used in the European setting, because a place like ancient Greece is immediately what it reminded me of. Also, the green skirt has small flowers on on it, and I think it would serve well as a nice African background. Overall, I realized that I think each “canvas” should be no bigger than a standard pillow case, and that I think that I will incorporate a small piece from each major background into the other “canvas” backgrounds as well.

I think this would highlight unity and basic similarities between each content.

Advisor: Harold Burgess

Weekly Meeting Time: Wednesdays 5:00-5:50 PM

Purpose/Mission Statement: Put this in the form of a few sentences about what you hope to accomplish this semester. What will the end result of your project be? What will you learn or gain from the experience? Do you have other goals?

My goal for this project is to prepare and perform a Sophomore Violin Recital. ��After this project, I would have learned how navigate the recital booking software for the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center, three new complete pieces, how to collaborate with fellow music colleagues in the recital preparation process, and how to order catering for an estimated audience size.  Finally, by receiving feedback from important music faculty and music major colleagues, I would have the opportunity to learn the mistakes from this experience, and to ultimately better my performance energy for future recitals.

Learning Objectives:

These are more specific than the mission statement. Be sure your objectives are clearly stated and respond to what you expect to do, learn, and experience as a result this project. Please list at least three. These should scaffold toward your final project.

I will reserve the Leah Smith Recital and Lecture Hall for the performance and the Student Lounge for the reception.

I will plan a recital program in consultation with my private teacher, Dr. Stern, and my capstone faculty advisor, Harold Burgess.

I will learn the following three new pieces:

Johann Sebastian Bach Sonata no. 1 in g minor

Jean Sibelius Violin Concerto

Josef Suk 4 Pieces for Violin and Piano.

I will prepare a 30 minute reception taking place after the recital, with light refreshments.

Workshop Process:

How will you complete the project? What research or preliminary work is required? What materials will you need? What steps will you take to create the finished project? How will you perform or present your work?

How will you document your work and research in your process binder/notebook?

I will complete this project over a span of three months, January through March, in order to appropriately prepare the repertoire and organize the logistics of the concert.  The preliminary work of booking the recital hall and reception area, as well as the planning of repertoire was completed before the start of the new year to ensure maximum time for solely music practice and preparation.  In order to finish the project, I plan to prepare the assigned repertoire, perform the recital, and hold the post-performance reception.  This project will be performed on April 5th at 7:30 PM in Leah Smith Hall.

I will document my work and research in my process binder by posting audio and video clips on my Tumblr page.  These clips will show the gradual evolution of the music preparation process, from sight-reading the music to the final performance.

Weekly Meeting Time:

Purpose/Mission Statement: This semester I hope to complete the Capstone project I proposed last semester to the best of my abilities. Through this Capstone I will gain skills in drawing and video editing. My goal is to put together a piece of work I can be proud of.

Learning Objectives: My learning objectives for this project are to improve my use of transition techniques to make a more seamless video, improve my use of layering effects to add emphasis to certain parts of the video, and to improve my drawing skills to make the art for the video understandable.

Workshop Process:

To complete the project, I will play the song on repeat for hours at a time and try and capture the meaning of the lyrics in visual form. I will also try to answer the question of How does it relate to me? Being either the literal or figurative representation. I will research the song and the artist in order to gain a deeper understanding behind why the artist would use certain lyrics. I will draw and edit to create a finished product. I will present my work by playing finished project and asking the audience about their thoughts.

I will document my work by updating my process binder with the sketches, stages of drawings and incremented steps of the editing process.

 Name: Vince De Guzman

Email: vince.012999@gmail.com

 Advisor: Harold

Weekly Meeting Time: 12:20 pm

 Purpose/Mission Statement: Put this in the form of a few sentences about what you hope to accomplish this semester. What will the end result of your project be? What will you learn or gain from the experience? Do you have other goals?

 This semester I hope to accomplish something I have never done before. I have no experience with the visual arts or with programming myself with no direction. I want to create an android app that combines these different passions of mine, art and programming. The result is an app where people can create different emojis to use in messaging and texting. I will learn the difficulties of creating both art and programming as these two skills have different difficulties to them. I would also like to publish this app to the app store and maybe improve upon it in the future.

 Learning Objectives:

These are more specific than the mission statement. Be sure your objectives are clearly stated and respond to what you expect to do, learn, and experience as a result this project. Please list at least three. These should scaffold toward your final project.

  Learn how to create an     android app

Have a finished product at     Arts Fest with a demonstration and if people want to they can download it     on their own android phone

Learn different methods to     create pixel art

I want to experience the     final product coming together displaying my passions, the arts and     programming

 Workshop Process:

How will you complete the project? What research or preliminary work is required? What materials will you need? What steps will you take to create the finished project? How will you perform or present your work?

 How will you document your work and research in your process binder/notebook?

 I will complete the project by first familiarizing myself with the software I’m using, Android Studio. I will go through many tutorials and create the UI for my project. Afterwards, I will focus on creating my own pixel art emojis drawing inspiration from many different artists and the way they used pixel art to capture different emotions. Finally, I will combine both the UI and my art style to create a finished product. At Arts Fest I want to have a downloadable app, so people can download the app if they want to, but I would also have my laptop showcasing the app and the code if people are interested in that. In my process binder, I will show all my inspiration and weekly updates on the state of the project, whether it is improving the UI or drawing different emojis.

CPSA 250: College Park Arts Scholars Capstone: Solo Project, Spring 2018

Name: Kelsy Song

Email: ksong1@terpmail.umd.edu

Advisor: Montse

Weekly Meeting Time: Friday 2:20pm

Purpose/Mission Statement: I hope to learn more about controlling the manual settings on my Nikon D3400 camera so that I can take photographs with purpose. I also hope to gain photography editing skills. The end result of my project will be a poster board organized with the fashion photography photos I take over the semester. The beginning photos will be taken with the “Auto” function and then the following photos will be taken with manual settings. The photos in the end will be edited using Photoshop to display the clothes in a better manner. My goal is to show my growth in photography skills over the semester in the slideshow as I research articles and learn more about specific tips from the CPSA201 photography workshop.

Learning Objectives:

·     Learn how to balance ISO, shutter speed, and aperture when taking photos

·     Take a variety of shots in creative poses that can provoke reactions and or grab the attention of the audience

·     Become familiar with using Photoshop to edit photos

Workshop Process:

To complete my project, I have to research the concept of fashion photography and research how to take photos that portray clothing in the most attractive way. I’ll also need to research famous and successful fashion photographers to learn about their processes and read their advice on how to take the best photographs. Once I understand the concepts and steps on how to take the photos, I’ll need to learn photo editing skills and find accessible websites. I’ll take the steps of researching photography skills for my Nikon D3400 camera, going on photoshoots, learning how to use Photoshop, and editing photos. I’ll present my work with a poster board with my fashion photographs at Arts Fest. I’ll also have a list of steps and tips that I found helpful in learning about fashion photography to demonstrate my thought process throughout working on the project.

I’ll document my work by uploading pictures from popular fashion photographers and fashion clothing photos that inspire me on my CPSA Tumblr account. I’ll also upload a few pictures from each of my photoshoots onto Tumblr to mark my growth as I develop photography taking skills and editing skills.

[hjonescpsarts-blog]

Here are the completed painted pages.

Reflection...

1)              What was the most challenging aspect of completing your project, and why? (This might be technical aspects, time constraints, problems that arose, etc.—be honest, this is your space to reflect!)

The most challenging aspect of my project was learning and applying new techniques in a limited amount of time. I had never used photoshop before and it was challenging to teach myself. I wasn’t able to move as fast as I had expected which meant I fell behind following my timeline. Using an unfamiliar medium also caused me not to be satisfied with the amount of detail in my work.

2)              Looking at your learning agreement(s) on ELMS, how do you think you succeeded (or not) in completing your Learning Objectives? Which ones did you fulfill? Which ones did you not fulfill? Why?

I did successfully learn how to structure a comic, develop skills in photoshop, and further develop how to draw the human body. Every step of my project required me to apply all my learning objectives. I didn’t quite master photoshop but I did gain more experience. If I had more time I would’ve been able to successfully check that off on my list.

3)              What were the most helpful aspects of the (semi) weekly class meetings? What would you like to see added or subtracted for next year?

The most helpful aspects were getting critiques from my classmates. It was nice having people see the project develop overtime, so they could give relevant feedback. I would like to see more sharing of work and less on how to share. One class was pretty sufficient in teaching us how to properly critique.

4)              What part of the project were you most proud of? Why?

I was most proud with the final product. I had blended photoshop and water color pretty well so the colors and characters were really vibrant and sharp. I was most stressed about the neatness of the comic and having painted the frames gave me the control I needed. However, photoshop helped me with editing and adding more details that I didn’t have time to add by hand. Overall it was really nice in the end.

5)              What part of the project would you have changed if you could? Why?

I would have added more dialogue and frames to my project. I feel like I did the bare minimum and would have loved to have had more to present. If I was more confident in my work I would’ve printed the final pages to have a hard copy to display. I also didn’t produce art as frequently as I wanted which took away from a part of my overall project which was to release chapters every couple of weeks.

6)              If you had to offer advice to next year’s Capstone students, what would it be?

I would tell next year’s students to do a project that they had always wanted to do but never put in the time to try. Many artists this year were given the chance to work on projects they always wanted to delve in. However, it’s important that they set attainable goals. Personally, when I started to fall behind it started to deter me from working at all. I became easily frustrated and wanted to scrap the whole project. Stay true to yourself and do what’s realistic.

Planning Sketch: Red-Figure Kylix

This is a planning sketch for the first in the series of pieces I will be making. My kylix will consist of four separate parts that I will attach into one. I plan to wheel-throw the bowl-like top and the stem separately. I will then attach them together, and add the two hand-rolled handles on either side. The pot will be mostly black, with red-figure designs encircling the outside and a round image and border on the bottom of the interior. Photos will come of the construction process.  

[alexiaoscpsarts-blog]

How I’ve Changed as an Artist:

Not only has this capstone given me a chance to explore different drawing and watercolor techniques, it has also showed me how much I have developed as an artist.

I’ve been drawing for a very long time; if I were to go back to when I can remember, Sonic characters were all I drew. Now, I’ve had experience using so many mediums and drawing in different styles. I can say that I’ve grown to develop my own style of drawing/painting based on artists I’ve observed in the past. My ability to draw from a reference picture has improved as seen from progress photos and videos for my capstone; although guidelines are not a bad thing (they are actually really important), I have grown from having to entirely depend on them to using them only when I need to. In addition to this, I can definitely say that my ability to use watercolor paint has grown along with my experience. It took a while to realize that watercolor is more versatile than it appears to be. 

Of course, there are still spots I still want to improve on. I did not delve into perspective very much for this project, mostly because it makes me very uncomfortable. When it comes to facial features, I’m entirely confident. When it comes to backgrounds, I struggle quite a bit. I sort of regret avoiding the implementation of architecture in my capstone for this reason. However, I’ve been playing with this in the World Building Workshop. Another thing I still struggle with is drawing hands. I had the chance to include hands in many of these portraits, but I purposefully avoided them to make it easier for myself. There’s something about appendages that I just find too difficult to draw. Since I am not finished with all of the sketches, I will try to include hands more to further challenge myself. 

When it comes to art, whether it is visual, performance, etc., you are always learning. This is why I find it important to reflect back to previous work; surely with experience and active attempts at learning, anyone can improve!

CPSA Process Binder: Week 1, Entry 1

Over the winter break, I realized that my project wasn’t hard, but rather that I am scared to execute the steps that it is going to take to get the project done. Whenever I do any sort of art project, I have to have a clear idea in my head of what it is going to look like, but because this project is so massive, the idea keeps changing and I am unsure of what it is exactly I wan to do. Despite my reservations and despite being in an artistic slump, I forced myself to at least start gathering any sort of materials that I could use in my project, since I decided a while ago that buying canvas would be too much.

So I went on a hunt. I cleaned my room head to toe, found some clothes, but it wasn’t enough. Luckily enough however, my Aunt had recently decided to throw away pounds, stacks, and bags full of clothes and I was able to walk away with all kinds of varying styles, sizes, and materials. One thing checked off the list.

Baby Steps.

Weekly Meeting Time: 5:00-5:50pm Wednesday

Purpose/Mission Statement: Put this in the form of a few sentences about what you hope to accomplish this semester. What will the end result of your project be? What will you learn or gain from the experience? Do you have other goals?

I hope to learn how to animate in 2D in a frame by frame style. The end result will be a 5-10 minute animated short with background music. There will at least be one scene finished about Moira and Ander meeting, defeating a dragon corpse, and setting off on an adventure to find a baby dragon. I will have learned how to work collaboratively and on a long term project.

Learning Objectives: These are more specific than the mission statement. Be sure your objectives are clearly stated and respond to what you expect to do, learn, and experience as a result this project. Please list at least three. These should scaffold toward your final project.

I will learn how to storyboard scenes so they are clear in conveying the story.

I will draw those storyboards as roughs for the animation, then clean them.

I will learn how to time movements so the actions are fluid and impactful.

I will compose and/or perform background music using instruments or a program.

I hope to convey a story that is meaningful to myself, my partner and the viewers.

I will communicate timely and effectively with my partner so each of us will have somewhat equal parts throughout this process.

Workshop Process:

How will you complete the project? What research or preliminary work is required? What materials will you need? What steps will you take to create the finished project? How will you perform or present your work?

The preliminary work required is finding ideas for settings and objects, learning how to storyboard and animate, and developing the fictional world. I have watched videos to learn about storyboarding and animation. I will finish drawing up the concept art and drawing the storyboards, then share them with my partner for her to draw the backgrounds. Next, we will render the storyboards as roughs and animate them. I will compose and perform music afterwards to match in time with the storyboards. We will present our work on a computer or on screen during ArtsFest.

How will you document your work and research in your process binder/notebook?

I will upload pictures or screenshots of the storyboards, upload music loops, add links to research, and share GIFs and screenshots of the animation process.

Resources:

Please include a list of resources you have used/may use in the planning and execution of your project. You may include books, websites, music, video, personal communication, etc.
