Art of Kai Wang

Portfolio


This class taught me to think in new ways in order to better render object I see in the world around me. I began with learning to render in a different perspective and then still life's of different shapes. Then I moved on to drawing landscapes and combining references in order to create my final to the class. These skills are going to help me in my field because practicing drawing with different perspectives will help me create and design characters and landscapes.
This class taught me the fundamentals when it comes to visual design. This isn't a bad thing its what I needed seeing as how I was mostly self taught up until now. It helped me understand things I only superficially understood.
In this class I've learned about:
-The Rule of Thirds vs. Center placement
-Focal Points, Tangents, Hot Corners, and Cropping
-Line
-Unity
-Value in relation to color
-Color Theory, and Finding Color Schemes
-Saturation
-Contrast
-The Bezold Effect
-Warm Lights Cool Shadows, Cool Lights Warm Shadows
-Value in relation to Texture and Patterns
-Creating the Illusion of Depth

These skills allow me to improve my art and improve the viewers experience when looking at art I've worked on.
