Artist InfluencedDesign Project #2

Create a piece that reflects the artist’s style and form, but is your own creation.

• Similar but different!

Eugene Smith, Illustrator

NOT Copying! Influenced.

•Remember you are not copying the artist, you are creating something influenced by the culture(s) and/or his or her style.

How to start?• Find an artist of your

choice - any medium (photo, video, animation, illustration, design, etc.)

• The artist can be from ancient to present time.

• Locate a artist that you find interesting and whose work you would like to study and make your own version in a similar style.

Look in magazines or online (could be same artist you are

doing the artist presentation on)

• I. Research artist

• A. Answer the questions below on a word document.

• I. Who is the artist? Name, age, where is he/she from?

• II. What type of work does he/she do? why? Who or what are his/her Influences?

• III. What type of techniques does he/she use when creating a piece?

Start Sketching & brainstorming! Create your own

version of the artist’s work.

• Sketch in your sketchbook or on computer:

• 1. Two ideas for your project.

• 2. How you will construct your project? -program, technique?
