Elements and Principles of my Favorite Image
This is one of the first images I created for this class. I believe it to have the following elements and principles. The Contrast between the white of the penguin and dark color of his fur stands out. The lines of the starburst centered at the eyes show a kind of symmetry to the penguin. The spacing and proximity of the body features also stand out to me. The colors of the features of the penguin and the fur show contrast also.
Lesson 1
Self Evaluation
I found this module to be challenging. Maya being a complicated program, I had to search on the internet to find out how I could do certain things for sculpting. I also struggled with coloring the sculpture. I had many issues with transferring the model to Photoshop to give him color. The model would become deformed and move pieces of the body to incorrect locations. Despite all these challenges I still did learn a lot about Maya and how to create 3D Models.

I could not find one of the sources that I used. I forgot to copy the link before I started editing it and lost it.
Self Assessment
I found this module to be very useful. I think this module made me aware of several features that can be useful in several different applications. I think the brainstorming for the lyric was the harder part for me. Trying to find good images for what I thought the song represented was really challenging. I’m still not sure if I completely captured what I wanted to convey. I liked the 3d aspect, but found it hard to work with due to it crashing my computer all the time.

Character Design
Personality: Absent Minded, Quick to Action, Greedy
Desire: To attain as much wealth as possible!
Conflicting Event: Lean shark is out to get him.
Overcome the problem: He will have to steal the money he needs to pay off the loan shark.
Failure to overcome: He would run and try to satisfy his greed somewhere else.
Overcome: Probably just run off with the money anyway.

Self-Evaluation:
I did all of the art in this module in Autodesk Sketchbook. I found the learning curve for Sketchbook to be much lower then Photoshop. I found out about some interesting tools in the Sketchbook program. There are many different features that let you draw on a strait line or with symmetry that I found interesting. I struggled with character creation a little bit in this module, I think that I will get better at this over time. The website part of this module took awhile, but I think I got it now. I would say i’m off to a good start with not much experience in art, digital or otherwise.
