Final Canvas Project


The UT Chaos: Emma Lynch 


ARTIST STATEMENT:

         My final canvas project is a piece that encompasses different aspects of coding as well as my school logo compiled into one composition. I based my work around The University of Tampa symbol and used an overall color scheme that represented my school's colors while branching out into pinks and oranges. As my school colors are black and red, often incorporating white, I attempted to create a piece that reflected that theme. The black and white gradient background poses as a basis for the pop of color of the other elements. I strayed from my school's colors by including different yet visually appealing flowers to tie the piece together yet create a successful overall composition. Using techniques and styles such as these help to support the main idea of the piece to create a fluid composition.
        The piece I have created is influenced by the countless canvas techniques we have learned including bezier and quadratic curves, lines, circles, gradients, RGB colors, and more. My aim was to use the different techniques to create a visually appealing fluid composition, hence my use of a specific color scheme. While searching for inspiration for my final project, I saw works that were abstract including lines and circles, animals, beach compositions, but there weren't many similar to what I was aiming to do. I wanted my piece to show how different aspects of coding in Dreamweaver can work together simultaneously to represent one final image. It is important to recognize the symmetry at the top of the image with the logo and the two flowers, and the color consistency along with the gradient. Although this is where one's eye might be initially drawn, it is also important to focus on the technique of the layered squares and block color semicircle to gain the full effect of the composition as a whole.
        Overall, with my final piece I aim to intrigue viewers visually. I want to convey a sense of chaos yet unity in creating a successful composition on the basis of The University of Tampa logo. I want the viewers of my art to realize how a piece can convey separate messages while coming together as one through a common theme such as the color scheme. In viewing my work, I hope one can grasp the different techniques used to display a collective entity of all that canvas entails through the use of lines, shapes, gradients, curves, and more.

FINAL PORTFOLIO

FMX210 FINAL PORTFOLIO ARTIST STATEMENT:         FMX210 has been a complex yet rewarding class over this past fall semester. This course has taught me the logistics of countless Adobe programs which have bettered my digital media skills. Attached is my portfolio which includes each final project from each program we worked with. My portfolio is themed as red and black with the font Mercurius MT std bold to better the overall composition. Each page is a different project and is done in chronological order from the first unit through the last. I aimed to use InDesign to successfully create a visually appealing portfolio while displaying each of my projects on the consecutive pages, along with a table of contents and an about me page.          My portfolio is crafted in such a way that is visually appealing through the use of color choices, creative fonts, and a simple approach to highlight each project. The theme I chose to create wa...

GET TO KNOW ME

My name is Emma Lynch and I am originally from Maryland but currently live in South Carolina. I have been coming to Florida for most of my life for vacation as well as to visit family, so I am excited to spend the next few years here at the University of Tampa. My hobbies include trying new foods, photography, and traveling, which typically consumes most of my free time. I am extremely passionate about traveling and hope to live abroad in the future. My favorite places to travel are Italy and Alberta, Canada. I am a Public Relations and Advertising major and aim to pursue a career in Advertising from a creative perspective in the Northeast. I have always been interested in different art forms and photography but am excited to further my knowledge in digital media. Most of the art I am familiar with ties back to photography, so I am excited to use that basis of understanding to influence my work in this class. My initial feelings on the course are that it will be relatively diffic...

BW to Color Portrait

    BW TO COLOR PHOTOSHOP PORTRAITS Artist Statement:          The six portraits I have created are photoshop self portraits that show separate ways that color can be shown, based off of the same base color. Each portrait shares the same pink/purple color which is highlighted differently in each image. Some images include the base color on the hair, face, lips, etc. The base color ties to other colors through triad, monochromatic, complementary, analogous, shades, and compound colors.          These compositions are relevant in showing how colors vary on the color wheel and how each color relates to, but is different from the base color. Each composition is crafted in a slightly different manner than the next but shows how each and every color used correlates in a visually appealing way. My logo tag brush is also included which makes these portraits unique from other projects as my logo represents myself and is embedd...
