Illustration Friday: Chicken

   _{At Home 3 -  Contemporary Mixed Media : Created by Alease Michelle}

At home with my family. It's a sweet time to be home. The hens are laying their eggs, the cows are giving us milk and the crops will feed us good. It's nice to be home. To hear mother humming her favorite song in the kitchen, to hear my children laughing in the yard, to hear the dogs barking at each other. It's nice to be home.

Digital Doodles Exercise #2

 
 
 Playing around inMicrosoft  Power Point I was able to create this digitalize design. If you just take a few minutes to click on menu tabs and try out each actions - its amazing what you can create.  The fun part is that I don't have to use Photoshop to create cool things. I call myself the lazy designer- whatever gets the job done- I use it.

Of course I not putting down Photoshop or illustrator. There has been  many times I've used both programs to create my promotional pieces, but sometimes there are times I just want to create digital images - with what I call the Quick & Dirty way.

I think that would be a good topic to include in my blog- My Quick & Dirty graphic/art techniques. Quick meaning - easy, simple and fast   Dirty meaning - lazy, short cut, cheap, and sneaky.

What do you think- Should I include my QUICK & DIRTY graphic/art techniques on this blog? Let me know what you think...

Until Next Time- Peace & More Love,

Digital Doodling Exercise

I'm back in the classroom teaching students how to create digital fashion boards with polyvore. As they play around to get familiar with the site, I play also. It's amazing how involve you get when working on these boards. It is a good way to relax the mind . 

 

Pink in love - was inspired by the color pink. In the class are two ladies that wore bright shades of pink. I love this shade of pink and every time I see it I think of a vibrate love affair between two young people.

 

Vintage Style Love- is inspired by my love affair with all things vintage. I love the combination with old with modern day. The two elements seem to work well together. Vintage conveys a texture of rough, while modern conveys a smooth sleek feel.

 

Industrial Heartache - this digital doodle I think encompass all that I believe in, when it comes to mixed media. In this doodle there is a little of vintage, modern and industrial elements. The more I create  contemporary mixed media art, the more I feel that my work is leaning toward.

 

These digital doodles really are helping me define my likes and dislikes in images.

 

Try it out Polyvore. It's Fun!
