Art is a visual expression of concepts, ideas, or feelings. To me, art is my way of creating and storytelling. I have never been a good public speaker. It's difficult for me to translate my ideas into words, but art allows me to make a picture or explore a concept without having to speak, necessarily.
Inspirations:
Most of my ideas and inspiration come from life;I love to visually portray everyday occurrences with new light, through my eyes. I have always been inspired by older animation such as the old classic Disney cartoons, and would love if that type of work would come back into style. Also, Pixar's use of storytelling and incredibly unique, quirky ideas are amazing and have a whimsicalness to them which is a quality I admire and try to add into my art.
A few artists I like are:
Dan-ah Kim
Lou Romano
Nate Wragg
Why I am Taking This Class
I would love to enter a career in the animation industry, getting into conceptual design, storyboarding, or character design. Of course, in these times, digital experience is mandatory for almost any job in that field. I believe this class will definitely benefit me in the long run, as I really have very little experience digitally. I work primarily with traditional media, so I'm excited to learn new techniques and see where that takes my art.
great comments, Laura!
