Task 4 - Art Exhibition - Art Express

Perturbian by Yasmin Mc Call examines the mental and emotional state of the modern teenage society. Taking inspiration from Jill Greenberg's controversial End of times Yasmin explores her teenage world of emotions and explores the vunerablity of teenagers as journey through to adulthood. Yasmin emphasis this with use of strong lighting and digital backgrounds. This artwork took my eye at art express as i was compelled to know why these people were state of of emtions. The strong lighting and digital backdrops make this work very compelling and the size were factors that drew my intrest to this artwork.

Task 9 Influencial Designer - David Mascha Illustration

 

David Mascha is an Austrian graphic designer situated in Vienna, I originally noticed his work when i came accross his design 'Milk' which struck me as it had an unusual colour scheme of jet black and cream white the design was bold and captured my attention. Mascha style is quite diverse the piece featured above demonstartes his great illustration skills however his portfolio ranges from subtle to bright and vibrant but they're all bold in their own way. I chose the follwoing artwork (Invisible now) as i love his use of illustration and the amount of detail he is able to incrporate as he focuses on the focal features in the characters face. The suble use f the green paint dabs give the work the final touch adding balance as it would appear bland in just black and white.  

 

Task 3 - Art of The Digital Age Review

The Book Art of the Digital Age takes an in depth look into the different practices of Digital art and the impact it has had on trational art styles in creating new branches such as Digital Animation, Virtual Reality and Digital art. The book author Bruce Wands is a key figure in the Digital age of art, studying and teaching for the past 20 years in the industry.

I enjoyed this title particularly the chapter on Digital imaging, the artwork shows a great variety of workss ranging from unique to really impressive. The artworks displayed from Charlse A. CSURI caught my eye particularly his piece HORSE PLAY, (a horse composed of ribbon-like threads that reflect and cast shadows) this work inspired to investigate Digital Imaging and left an impression on me.

Overall I found the book quite interesting it shows a great show a great range of works and showcases the industry greatly for anyone who is interested for that reason i'd recommend this book to any of those people. The only negative I would have for this book is that it dosn't shasre nay imformation about the different artist although it is very informitive on the ranges of styles and artworks.
