Illustrative Concepts

A few weeks ago I told everyone how excited I was to begin an Illustration class in school. I no sooner got my first assignment completed and posted the joyful news on my blog than I was yanked from this class for academic reasons and placed me in a treacherous Algebra class.

After tedious work completing the Algebra requirement, I am happy to announce that I’m back in the warm, safe environment of an art class. Luckily, I had my assignment from the first time I was in this class and recycled it…the instructor never saw my work from the first class so I turned it in this second time.


I just checked the grade book and I proudly received an A. Here is my work for the first assignment. The class assignment was to create a book cover for a hand book entitled “New Horizons for the Novice Illustrator” and we were supposed to have a road going off in the distance to a vanishing point.


The second assignment was to take the same book and create an inside page (with a margin). We were to use a clock face and, without text, convey the sense of motion. Here is the second assignment. Hopefully I’ve done just that. I asked some of my co-workers and friends to look at the artwork and offer a critique. Most liked the artwork as is, no changes. Others said they would get back to me later.

Still waiting CHAZ :-P.

Hopefully I will make an A on this assignment as well.

I need someone to take my picture so I can update it on the blog, any volunteers?. I don’t look like this anymore.


Until next time.
