Visual Art Principles has to be another one of my favourite classes in the first term. While we do get a lot of powerpoint presentations, it's a lot more open to discussion and class participation. Consider it a intro to Photoshop, but you'd like it a lot better if you have been using photoshop before.

| Pixel Art: Myself as a cocky Jedi |
We started out with pixel avatars. It was a simple project where we had to create an isometric pixel character of our choosing, using a weapon of any kind. Our class is definitely full of some creative souls because I've never seen a dolphin with arms and legs vomiting a rainbow beam, or an alien tribesman with a pitchfork. They were all insanely brilliant and well done. I decided to be narsacisstic and create myself in pixel form, similar to
Habbo Hotel.
I think it turned out pretty well, and the likeness is uncanny! (Or at least my class thought so...) My personal favourite was being able to animate the tracers with the lightsaber swing, and it happened to impress my Visual Design teacher as well.
Currently, I'm working on an assignment where you take one of those Munny figurines and use it as a base template to create a creature that is both unsettlingly horrifying but oddly cute. Here's the moodboard to give a sense of where I'm going with this and we'll see if my final product suits it. Stay tuned!
