It was a normal B-day at Carver High-school. I ate breakfast in the cafeteria and sauntered to my 1st period class. After arriving to my classroom on the 1st floor I came upon a locked door and an empty classroom. From there I journeyed to Library were my class sat quietly waiting on instructions. I took a seat at one of the smooth wooden tables and did the same. Moments later my teacher arrives. As usual he greets us with a " Good Morning" then takes the roll. I was curious as to why our " Art " class was in the " Library ".
A few seconds later I found out we were in there because of a project. So the first things that came to mind were Murals, Self-Portrait of others or ourselves, and Landscape paintings. Oh , drawing was apart of it but we had to create a blog! I knew nothing about doing that at all. Of course journalist and people who critique stuff use them but I don't. So , Yes, ultimately I started this project with a suckish attitude. Good thing we didn't get to the technical stuff till later but we did start on our Thumbnail Sketches.
The sketches had to be unique album covers and backs that you made up to fit your favorite 8 artists. I can remember thinking of so many artists that I was overwhelmed. I didn't know how I was going to make it unique or anything but I tried my best. The first artist that stood out to many was Arianna Grande. Simply because she is so sweet and her music is amazing. I thought of sweet , light, and delicate things for her like Flowers, Rainbows, Clouds , and Angels. Those ideas were good but I wanted something simple. So I thought hard and little did I know the answer was inside me. Your probably wondering why I said that , aren't you ? My idea was inside me and that was my heart! Not mine but the shape. It was elegant and simple. For my 2nd album cover I chose Janelle Monae. I completely love her Music ,Style,Hair, Wardrobe, and etc. She is absolutely amazing. I already knew what I wanted her cover to look like and then it was modest. I drew the back of an Afro with her name written in a shy/sweet cursive font.
After, finishing my Thumbnail Sketches I designed my Album cover and back on the computer using pictures I found on the internet while at the same time making it very unique. In the midst of doing all this we were introduced to the technical stuff. Oh yeah! It was blog making time! I didn't know what to do or how to do it but I followed along. After, signing up up and making my own Blogger through google it got easier. From then I figured out how to Customize my blog page , Edit my blogs while adding Images , Videos , and Hyperlinks. Now, I am finished with my Album cover and back. I can say that this project has been most interesting and fun!
