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.

Tag Brush

TAG BRUSH ARTIST STATEMENT:          The piece I have created is a tag brush of my previously created travel logo. This brush can be used as a stamp and can be place wherever desired. The composition above shows the brush stamped a few times to create a psychedelic blue and purple effect that is visually appealing.          As stated before when describing my logo, this piece highlights my traveling and yearn to explore the world and other cultures. What is interesting about this composition specifically is that the logo is now a stamp that can be easily transferred and simply pasted on any other work of art. This makes it accessible and allows for it to be changed to multiple different colors and looks depending on what is necessary.         Overall, this tagbrush is relevant in being able to use the logo I created and apply it to other compositions. It can be made visually appealing and fitting ...

Self Portrait Poster

SELF PORTRAIT POSTER ARTIST STATEMENT:         The piece that I have created is a self portrait poster that represents myself in a propaganda type manner. I used a recent photo of myself to create a simple composition in every way possible except for my face. With my face, I aimed to use color to create the highlights and shadows from the original image through a variety of colorful shapes. In doing this, I aimed to create a visually appealing, colorful composition that still fit the criteria of the poster assignment.          My self portrait poster is based on the quote "always dream in color." I decided to create my piece to exemplify the idea of living life to it's greatest extents and to live your best life- in a propaganda style. I used a large amount of different lines and shapes to make my face look as realistic as possible and relate similarly to the original image. I chose to put the quote on one side of the image ra...

Travel Logo

    TRAVEL LOGO Artist Statement:         This logo was created to exemplify my travels and study abroad, as well my environmental passions and years of veganism. The plane leaving the world shows my love for travel and always wanting to "take off" to a new destination. As the plane is leaving the earth, my passions as well as yearning to explore other cultures can be understood.         My ideas are represented through this logo as the meaning, to some extent, can be easily understood as it is fairly simple and not too ambiguous. It is apparent that there is a plane taking off from the world, which is often seen as a general symbol for travel and a sense of "wanderlust." The color choice allows for there to be a visually appealing contrast to create a more successful overall composition. Another technical aspect that adds to the overall composition is how the line connected to the plane seamlessly leaves the earth.   ...
