Einstein's Dreams Version 3

These will be in an animation.  Not sure how to upload videos.  

Einstien's Dreams Second Version

I tried to simplify my drawings a lot.  I tend to want to add detail to everything.  I took some advice and tried to use the  solid black buildings to my advantage.  I now realize that I need to simplify it even further.  Everything just looks way too flat.

Einstien's Dreams First Version

This was the first version of my project.  I really liked doing illustrations, but I think I  took it a little too far.  I really think the dark buildings are working.  The clouds are not working however.  

Imagery and Schedule

I really enjoyed the passage in the book about people living in houses on stilts.  I want to try and create a representation of not just the people living in these houses, but the houses themselves as well.  I think the way I can get out of my comfort zone is to lean more towards the digital side of art. Here is my schedule for the next two weeks.

November 7-8:  Sketching
November 12-13:  experimentation and first version
November 14-15:  Final Version
November 19: last day to work

Einstein's Dreams

Einstein's Dreams is actually more stimulating than I thought.  It describes different scenarios in the universe and how we all can relate to time in some way.  Even though it is fiction; It is interesting. Time might be a circle; Just us repeating our lives over and over again and not knowing it.  But we live like we will not experience certain moments again in life. On April 26 he dreamed about how people want to live in the mountains. Those who wish to live longer want to reach higher to the sky.  Two days after he dreamed how we look at watches and clocks as devices to take solace in time and that somewhere in time there is recorded our moments in time.  

New Pattern on Colored Paper

I know the picture is bad.  I chose to use a pink background for my stamps because I wanted to get a good idea of what these stamps would look like on a shirt of this color.  I now think I'm going to get rid of the other stamps because I now think their a little distracting.

Pattern Test

Pattern using the Stamps.  The long connector piece was something I thought up at the last minute.   I tried to combine  shapes and textures I had in my original sketches.

My linoleum stamps for my fear pattern.  Honestly it was a lot easier to cut these out of this material than the stuff the others were using.
