Sustained Investigation Proj 1 Trusello

 

The first card I wanted to do was the Hermit, which is about self-reflection and soul searching. 

I wanted this one to be about self-care but also be kind of Christmas-y and have an element of mystery to it with the background.

Sisson Sustained Investigation Project #1

   

My project is based in art by Frida Kahlo's artwork with her surrounded by animals in a sort of surrealist style. I laid out the idea and I really liked it and felt like it was what I was going for in making an artwork inspired by Frida Kahlo.

 

It ended up sort of mixed media. It's definitely not my favorite artwork but it was a learning experience with what materials I would like to use in the future. I plan to remake it in the future maybe with different materials to execute it better than I did this time.

Quercetti: Sustained Investigation #1

 

Marino Sustained Investigation #1 completed

Title - 1963: Stephen Marino 

In this picture it is my grandpa's senior photo. Of course it was the 1960s and I wanted to show the bright hippie like colors to give that true feeling especially with them being flowers. The followers are supposed to a wallpaper vibe. However I want to disfigured them to show that not all places were totally hippie or colorful, especially because he grew up in Chicago. Another factor was that he was a boy and during those times gender roles were such a big factor and that we couldn't expresses himself as much as a woman could. 

Materials: Gauche and Acrylic

Process: I started with my grandfathers senior pictures and then went into photoshop and edited some flowers into the picture. Instead of blending I colored blocked the grey scale. 

Dimensions: 15" x 20"

Ava Passehl SI #1 Completed

Gigi's smile and energy are bright and vivacious despite obstacles. Soft orange, green, turquoise, and pink remind represent, so I included them in her portrait. 

Materials: Nikon digital camera, Adobe Photoshop, projector, picture of neon lights 

Process: I sat Gigi in a dark room, projected a picture of neon lights onto her face, took some pictures of her smiling, and edited them to achieve the desired colors in photoshop. 

Dimensions: 8.5 by 11 inches (I might increase to 16 by 20 inches in the future depending on the print quality of the photos) 

Bella Dayrit: Sustained Investigation #1

 

Here’s my overall finished sustained investigation. I feel like I learned and grew a lot during the process of making this through photoshop and abstract portraiture. I’d like to continue this theme of repetition and layers in my later pieces. My theme was all about the layers of identity and illustrating those through color and form which I think I did successfully. I was wondering if you guys have any suggestions for the title of this piece since I think I want to submit it to scholastics. I also was wondering if you guys have any cool ideas about what other things come to your mind when you think of identity. 

Gildea Sustained Investigation Piece #1

 I am not sure which one I like better - the only difference is that I took out the "Warning" text on the top of the car in the first picture.

Trusello SI 2 Progress 12/17

For my second SI project, I have decided to work on "The Moon" which is about illusions and secrets. The background I am planning on doing is inspired by that one room in the Haunted Mansion (I couldn't find an actual picture from the ride but here's the design). I want to vary the shapes and sizes and make them look really scary.

 I am planning on maybe using this in my sustained investigation piece - I made this collage in photoshop and adjusted the color settings to make it more vibrant.

Sisson Choice Board #9 - Repetition

 

For this choice board I wanted to do something simple. This is just a doodle that uses patterns in different sections that I have been recreating recently.

Choice Board Trusello

 

For my choice boards, I want to start thinking of ideas for minor arcana cards since I'm not doing that for my SI. This one is the five of swords (and I'm just now realizing I forgot to put the swords). 

The meaning of this card: The Five of Swords turns up when you have had a falling out, disagreement or conflict, and you are walking away with a sense of sadness and loss. You may be upset and resentful over the heated words you said and now wish you could take back.

I like the background more than the people lol

Choice Board #9 Marino (repetition)

 

Process Photo

So this is 1968, and I want to show repetition. '68 was all about vietnam but where my aunt grew up it wasn't really the talk. However my aunt was a girly girl so I want to put dresses in the background to exaggerate how much of a girly girl she was.

I just wanted to post a process photo of my piece so far. This is far incomplete but this is my first layer of watercolor onto my piece. I’m pretty content with how it’s going so far.

Choice Board #9 sustained investigation

 

Jocelyn Zavala-Garcia's Choice Board 9 : Sustained Investigation

For my choice board I chose to continue with my sustained investigation and experiment with the background of the piece. I also tried to play with the composition of my progress photos, like the third photo, to show my studio space as well as some materials. I will add finishing touches to the piece on Monday and maybe make some parts brighter compared others because I feel like all of the colors are muted. 

 

Atkins Choice Board 9- Doodles

 

I wanted to take a quick break from my sustained investigation and work on some drawing techniques so I decided to do these sketches in pen.
