Your artwork could make a statement about a global issue or you could focus on something more personal. Some students in the past have created light-hearted works of art and others delve into more somber issues...it is totally up to you. We will be animating this photoshop image in Flash so think about ways you will add movement and sound in the future. The images you see below all include the artist...you can be in your art as well.

Artist Tom Levy
Advanced Drawing and Painting
I came across Tom Levy's website when searching for examples of still-lifes that have a white color scheme. I found his work incredibly creative. Some paintings are very personal, telling his story and the view of the world and others are classical still-lifes. Take a look at his website and find the style of artwork you are most intrigued by and write about it in you sketch book. Describe the artwork and why you like it.
