Keith Haring Inspired Work
Monday 1/16/2023: For the Keith Haring inspired work, I struggled at first coming up with ideas. I began to think maybe I could integrate the mind with what I was going to do. Before coming up with this idea, I searched up Keith Haring’s work and saw that in his 70’s work there was a variety of different shapes and styles, which inspired me to integrate these different elements of the mind and art.
Tuesday 1/17/2023: Today I began looking for different images and inspiration online in order to begin creating my piece of art. I found different brain images that I liked, all of them were MRI’s, specifically the black and white ones.
Wednesday 1/18/2023: Today I picked the brain MRI image I liked the best which consisted of two side by side brain images, which contrasted in color. With this image I began to make a background image in photoshop. To make this background I started off with a blank page and added duplicates of this brain MRI. After I added duplicates, I aligned them all next to each other creating a background image.
Thursday 1/19/2023: Now that I had a background image, I began wondering how I could integrate different elements of Keith Harin’s work into my artwork. I began looking at more of his pieces of which he is known for and I found that he very often used the shape of a body. These shapes of bodies reminded me of a Diary of a Wimpy Kid. This inspired me to look for shapes of the body of Greg from Diary of a Wimpy Kid to use for my artwork.
Friday 1/20/2023: I decided I did not want to utilize Greg Heffley for my artwork because I felt it did not send my message clear enough or strongly enough. I decided to overlap a man on these images and faded him out. I used several fx elements in photoshop to get this image.
Body, Shape. Form
Monday 1/16/2023: I began to brainstorm what part of the body I should photograph. At first I thought to go with lips as they express what a person thinks but did not feel as drawn to them. I began thinking of other body parts that would fit this Body, Shape, and Form.
Tuesday 1/17/2023: I decided to work with the eyes. I discovered that the eyes drew me in, eyes tell all type of stories. After deciding to work with the eye I began to look for people who would be willing to have their eyes photographed.
Wednesday 1/18/2023: I began to set up the lighting and fix the background for the photographing session. After I set up the lighting and fixed the background, I began photographing. After I photographed, I went over the pictures I took and chose the one I liked the most.
Thursday 1/19/2023: After I looked over the pictures I had taken, I edited them in adobe lightroom. I changed the color of the photograph, along with the exposure, brightness, highlights, amongst other things.
Friday 1/20/2023: After I edited the photograph on lightroom, I transferred everything to photoshop and made a piece in which the eye fades demonstrating how one ceasing from existence does not necessarily mean breathing one’s last…

We began to block print today. I’ve been waiting for this to begin, I am really excited to see where this goes and what other people do. I really like the image I chose, it really describes me, I love tulips and joy they bring to people receiving them.
