During the final two weeks of digital painting class students were able to work on completing their stylized portraits of celebrities.

FA 218 Painting 2 Week 14 & 15

The final two weeks of painting class gave students time to focus on completing their final painting project.

A final critique was held during the last day of instruction to asses the final two painting projects of the semester

FA 106 Color Theory week 14 & 15

In the final two weeks students worked to complete their Critter/robot/alien color tint project. The color tint highlighted a dominant color (80-90%) tinted by another color (20-10%). Subtle shifts in color can have a strong influence on mood and feeling within a picture and is a great skill to master.
