Designing for the Web
The movie below is a final flash project created by a student from a previous semester. In a few weeks you have been introduced to the very basics of what Flash can do. We have only scratched the service of what Flash is capable of. ActionScript was added to the file below. Action Script is a type of code added into keyframes to add action to the movie. For instance the action makes the movie start when you press the word "play". Go ahead and press play and see what happens.In your final flash project you will use the same script to start your own movies.

Color
Intro to Drawing and Painting
Now that you have been drawing realistic features, trying to create the correct tones in the skin and hues in the facial features it is time to move away from reality and use an imaginative, expressionistic color scheme. Why do this? Because art isn't only about being able to manipulate a medium to represent reality it is also used to express oneself. During a time when Picasso had experienced loss he created paintings that reflected his mood and used the color blue to accentuate this. The fauvist used many vibrant colors, not necessarily to express happiness or jovial times, but to break away from traditional art. In the next few classes we will explore color schemes. Take a look at the work below to see colors used in a non-traditional way. Also review the Color Vocabulary List because there will be an assessment of color terms at the end of the project.
