Drawing Cartoon Body Types

i drew a cartoon person using the instructions on the IST thing... it was really simple using the MS Word program. Then i coloured it in with the Paint program.

Image File Types

GIF Files: A GIF image, has a number of colours that run on the same-colour pixels. For example if there is 200 pixels on a picture with a colour of 82 the image file stores the colour (81) and the lenght of the run (200). GIF files are good for storing drawings that have a lot of the same colour pixels.

JPEG Files: Is one of the most popular image format. It has good compression characteristics on photographic data and it let you adjust the amount of compression. it stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group.

Example of a JPEG File



Example of a Animated GIF

 Animated GIF Files: An ANIMATED GIF is a different thing to a GIF image. It is a sequence of GIF files bonded together and are displayed one after another. You can also make and animated GIF out of a video.

MPEG Files: This type of file tries to eliminate repetition between frames. it stands for Moving Picture Experts Group.

Shockwave Files: this file type provides a vector-based animation capability. It specifies the colour of every pixel and of every shape. Shockwave files can be small, they also allow animation and sound.

Digital Art... Real Art...?

This is my artwork that i made using http://artpad.art.com/artpad/painter/. It is a family of stick figures, using the Paint brush and different colours.

      “Is digital art a valid form of art?” - I agree that is IS A FORM OF ART. Art is something you have created with your own skills and imagination. Digital Art is not cheating, it is using your own skills to create something new, just using a different method. For example my stick family painting is ART because i made it, with my own skill and i hade to choose what colours and what to draw, the computer isnt "doing all the work for me".

Some advantages that digital draw and paint provides is that you can edit your picture easily eg. erasing, choosing a more exact colour. It has different programs and styles you can use to make you art eg. cut and copy, effects, photoshop program. You can also save the file and/or make multiple copies of your artwork.

The skills you need to create digital art is IMAGINATION, knowing how to use a program (Adobe PhotoShop, InkScape, Paint) and knowing what you want to make.

DIGITAL ART IS REAL ART.

Assessment Post 2

This lesson, we used two phone cameras and one video camera, we are currently deciding how many cameras to use. We started filming our first scene, at the lockers. We have started our storyboard and will be continuing it as we go/film.

Today, we are starting to film our video, we are starting our first scene and seeing what camera angles to do. We have chosen to use two or three cameras, while filming so we have different angles and perspectives. We are starting with the locker scene. And we are working on our storyboard, which we are coming up as we go/film.
