Original Image for Post Card 1

Bee Postcard project  Card 1                                                  

         

Original illustrated bee 

This is the original bee image

The first card was to have bee going to the desert ( near a health spa- see  above card and  photo below for the inspiration for the card).   

  

This image inspired a desert and mountain scene

After creating the first rough card, a palm tree was substituted for the fountain, and a house (at a distance away) was added in the lower right corner. 
These additions allowed for more skillful use of tools and added more depth and dimension.

"Bee", Working to Create a Better World

Bee is part of a very successful environmentally conscious bee hive.  Interestingly enough, their primary business is “the re-pollination of urban and semi urban areas”.   

As progressive bees of action, the hive has incorporated their operation, created an Organic Honey brand (that caters to the diabetic community), and provide informational seminars (on "The damage of cell phone radiation to people’s heads", and "How the radiation from cell phone towers  are destroying bee hives all around the world by disrupting bee communication and their sense of direction").

Bee’s job is to travel around the world looking for “alternative green harvesting areas” as well as finding partner bee hives that would like to join their association and create a better world for all to live in. 

 

He travels with his “public relations team” that documents his efforts by creating postcards and sending them to member hives.

Project 2: Invertebrates; Bee in Flight

Bee in Flight  (Invertebrates);

Project One:  Shapes:

Original Cut and Paste             Digitally Produced Copy

 

Sample Shapes w/o cutout

This is the Shapes project.  The  last step of cutting out the arrow from the blue is the last step needed to complete the project.  Of course, it would have been easy to just add circles, but I would not learn the "cut out" step.

Start:
9/01/10  ~Shapes project is creatively underway, sample drafts show promise.

               ~Invertebrates  project will highlight "bees".

Shapes

The "Shapes Collage" was constructed of paper and card stock.

Below are some of 2D principals (and their results) in my "Shapes Collage"

~ I started with the background (Negative Space) as a foundation.  The black color is used to establish a base for contrast. 
~ The negative space is used to support the shape of  "circle" and to create visual movement.
~ Simple shapes are layered to project depth, and to generate additional shapes (in the negative space).
~ Symmetry is used in both negative and positive space.

~ The Repetition and Uniformity of the circles (in negative space) encourage you to move towards the color in positive space.
~ Both shape and color generate movement throughout the piece.
