 Reminder: My project is to create 6 illustrations looking as movie posters. Visually they will be based on posters created during the period of Expressionism. Movie posters that I want create will be based on movie that I will invent. Movie will be based on my great-grandmas’ life and posters will be present 6 stage of her life.  In this post I want to summarise interview with my grandma that I did and add comments of my idea on posters.  My grandma started with her childhood. She was born in Warsaw which is capital city of Poland. She was born a short time before the second war. My grandma love Warsaw and she always want to visit this city. When war started, she moved on the countryside to her family to be safe. She has 3 siblings. To brothers and sister. They all lived on this countryside with their mom. They usually play inside the house because they were scared to go outside. However they like to go to the nearest road and collect various treasures such as blackberri...

 In today’s session we learned about basic proportion in the figure. The method that we were looking at can be modified to create a unique character. We looked at proportion measured in heads. About 8 heads is a full body.  The “8 heads’ measurement breaks down like this: Going from first section to the last one we have: Head Chin to chest Chest to navel Navel to bottom of hips or crotch Bottom of hips to mid-thigh  Mid-tight to knees  Knees to mid-shin Mid-shin to bottom heel of foot To create my sketch I used he pencil.

To make sure that everything is in the good place I used my knowledge...

  The Homepage   1.  Is the homepage pleasing to look at? I like the home page the most. Everything is aesthetic and keeping in the same colour pallet. However, I miss very important information - full name of artist. We can see name in left, top corner, however i think it should also be included on the homepage itself.
