Logo Design
Logo
1. Discuss what you thought about creating your logo. When I was creating my logo I thought about things that represent me as an individual. I also tried incorporating artistic techniques to make it more personal and detailed. I brainstormed ideas about beauty, love, power, knowledge, life, happiness, and strength.
2. Describe the process: creative thinking skills and ideas you used in the logo creation. The process that I went through to create my logo was hard. First I brainstormed ideas of what I would look like on paper. Then I also tried to keep it sweet and simple. I tried finding ideas that would associate with me, and this was probably the hardest part. I wanted to make it well proportioned and balance. I as aiming for the viewer to have to move their eyes across the whole log to get the idea of what it means. People are faced which choices each day, sometimes good or bad. It all comes down to the choices we make. In my logo she is faced with bad and only her face (that is exposed to the bad) is red. The yellow that is coming out from her represents positive energy. People associate yellow with bright and successful days. The meaning of the gun and bomb pertains to the idea that there will always be bad days, and it is up to us to chose how we left those negative things bring us down. The picture of the electron orbit is part of what I enjoy learning about, and we are all made up of atoms. The word "choice" written in her hair can express that people are responsible for their own outcome.
3. What was the most important discovery you made in the creation of your logo? The most important discovery I made was the amount of creativity I truly have. People are often impatient ad was results now, but one is more likely to have a better outcome if they brainstorm and premeditate their work. Visualizing what you want to stand for is increasing important while making a logo.
4. What is the most important information you learned from watching the videos, powerpoint, and reading material for this project? What is your opinion of the videos? The most important thing that I have learned from this is the high amount of work and brain power that it takes to create a big message with a little picture/symbol. The reading materials for this project were very informative, however I enjoyed the films better. The videos helped more visually and the readings helped to understand in my mind.

Art Gallery Visit #1
1. Which artworks make an impact or impression on me? Why?
Franz Kline, New York, N.Y., Oil on canvas, 79 x 57 inches, 1953
This piece of artwork immediately attracted my attention. The deep contrast from such dramatic colors. These colors aren't subtle they are sharp and pronounced. Black and white are such opposites that when they are put together they can create a powerful message. This painting show me strength and power.
Wassily
Kandinsky, Fragment
2 for Composition VII, Oil on
canvas, 87.6
x99.7 cm, 1913
This painting has also made an impact on me because of its opposite appeal from the first. The bright vivid colors and busy design make me amazed by it. The possibilities of what this picture could represent are amazing to me. The style of this painting is enjoyable and I can't help but picture a party going on.
2. Which artworks do I feel a connection with? Why?
Clifford
Still, November 1950 No. 2, Oil on
canvas, 1950
This artwork is my favorite out of them all. I feel such a deep connection with this piece because of the way it was painted. To me, this painting has such a light outline, if you look at it for a little bit. This reminds me of energy and science. If you have ever been on a road trip and look at the hills that are covered in trees, and when you stare at the trees that are near the blue sky, you will end up seeing this energy field.
Pablo Picasso, Nude Figure, Oil on canvas, 1909-10
I feel more connect to Pablo Picasso this course then I have been my whole art education. I connect with this piece greatly because of the uniqueness and also its representational style. The shapes that everyone sees a woman to be. I find this very inspiring.
3. Which artworks would I like to learn more about? Why?
Salvador Dali, The Transparent Simulacrum of the Feigned Image, Oil on canvas,
72.4 x 92.1 cm, 1938
This artwork and his other famously known piece "The Persistence of Memory", I would like to learn more about. The style and technique that he uses can be very powerful messages. I have always been a fan of the melting watch.

Color Theory
1. Discuss what you thought about creating the Value Scale and Color Wheel.
While creating the color wheel I thought about high school art class, and how much I enjoyed learning about art, back then. In high school they taught us that the primary colors were red, blue, yellow. I also forgot how amazing it truly is to mix two different colors and have a completely new color outcome. When I was creating the value scale, I had thought about a college studio class I had taken. I love drawing in graphite and charcoal. Creating these were fairly easy for me because art comes natural to me.
2. Which media did you enjoy working with the best and why?
I enjoy working with charcoal the best because I like to smudge the charcoal with my finger to create different values. It is easy to erase and hide mistakes. Working with it is fun too!
3. What was the most important discovery in the creation of these studies?
The most important discovery I found in the creation of these were the truths about the real primary colors. It blew my mind that I had not known this. The more I read about this the more it all made sense. These are the same primary colors that my printer uses.
4. What is the most important information you learned from watching the videos for this project? What is your opinion of the videos?
The most important thing that I have learned from the videos are the old way of primary colors is due to the lack of scientific evidence that leads to the real primary colors. The videos were great, I feel that they explained how to create these projects well.
