Artwork

    Lately I've been really busy with schoolwork and friends, so I apologize that  I haven't been posting very often. This year for 9th grade my school offered a commercial art class as an elective. For this semester, we've come up with several different assignment that I've really enjoyed working on. I plan on posting them later on.
    A few of them may be somewhat confusing if you are not familiar with the Slenderman. It is a supposed legend of a tall, faceless man in a suit that roams the Earth and stalks humans. The most common type of person he stalks are children. Often times he is depicted to have tentacles emerging from his back. For the past 5 months or so I've become really interested in him and the creativity used to manifest it. If you wish to find out more about Slendy, there are "documentaries" on youtube.com. I say it with quotations because none of it is real. The Slenderman was a creation from an art contest that won, and was posted on the internet. Soon a story for it was created, and a YouTube channel, Marble Hornets decided to make a movie similar to Paranormal Activity depicting the Slenderman. These videos eventually led to the creation of the downloadable game, Slender. Ever since the game came out, the Slenderman has increased immensely in popularity.
    Although there are a few pictures that I have drawn, we mainly focus on using tools similar to Photo Shop, so we've worked on improving, combining, and creating several pictures. If you are interested in this program, you can go to pixlr.com where you can use it absolutely free. Whether you're a fan of Photo Shop, and don't like how expensive it is, or just want a cool drawing program, then I suggest you check it out.
 
  Thanks again for visiting my page!


This was one of the first projects we worked on. We had to create a collage of photos to spell a word, or our last name. The photo below it is from last year's Christmas.
