Ari Felsen Blog - ART 210

For these projects, I took many pictures (about 70) all slightly different, to show a flowing story and visual movie. I then imported the photos into the computer and placed them in order and edited the timing to make it flow and look fluent. Then, I learned about GarageBand and played around with its effects in order to create a suiting tune or music to go along with the stop-motion story I created.

This project was pretty simple, as I just had one picture of myself as a baby transition dissolve into an older picture of me. I tried to find a picture that best shows the same pose and angle to match and maintain continuty to look nice for the final product.

This project I simply cut out my face from a picture, and imported it into another, similar to project eight. However, I imported my face into a painting, and used effects and filters to make my face seem to blend in and belong in the painting and the painting’s effects.

For this project I used everything I had learned to cut out myself and place myself in a different background. Then, to make the new image even more realistic I created a fake “shaddow” to add effect!

For this project I took several   pictures from my school and city that I thought were very pretty, and used various tools, filters and effects I learned to make the pictures even prettier and cooler!

This project was the most fun, yet overwhelming and stressful of the semester! Similar to how I created my third and fifth projects, I traced an image for this whole masterpiece, going in very close to get the smallest details and recreate a very cool original copy!

This project was very interesting to learn and create! Starting with just tracing an image of a pear, I   managed to use the tools and effects of Illustrator of which I was taught, to create a very cool and realistic digital copy! 

I created these business cards using Illustrator, by placing the logos I had come up with, and playing around with several fonts and colors to see what I deemed looked best and   visually attractive.

After first learning how to use the software, Adobe   Illustrator, I created this logo as my third project. I used the tools I have recently learned, and traced an alien and played around with fonts and color schemes until I was happy and satisfied with my finished product.

I created this project with Adobe Illustrator. Simply, I traced out a picture of an alien, and utilized the tools that I had just learned to implement thoughtful quotes that relate to alien life.

This was my first project of the year! I find that its simplicity symbolizes my inexperience and lack of skills/knowledge from the beginning of the semester, and is a good way to   exhibit the progress I’ve made throughout this corse. I created this piece through the   software, Dreamweaver. Using a   series of HTML codes, I was able to create this peaceful picture and my first project of the year.

Welcome to the official blog of Ari S. Felsen! On this blog, I will be uploading all my projects from my ART 210 class this semester. In my projects, you will see the creativity and entertainment that I wanted to exhibit in my projects! You may also notice the progress I have been making throughout the semester, as I continue to learn more and become more experienced! Hope you enjoy!
