InterArts Media Project

For the InterArts Media course, my project will center around using Adobe Photoshop to create digital paintings. I've had about 8 years of experience using photoshop with a graphics tablet to create images, but I'd like to be able to use this course as an exploratory means to delve into the program more, try new techniques, and use aspects of the program I haven't before.

As far as conceptual ideas go, I know that I want to create a body of about five images that make use of the human figure. But I don't want to constrain myself necessarily by creating a cohesive "style", because I want to explore color palettes and drawing styles.

For tools I have at my disposal, there are many photoshop forums and tutorials available online,  graphics magazines, the photoshop magazine, art communities, and digital art books are going to be very useful.

I remember viewing your final digital art piece for Digital Processes. I must say that you have great talent and I am really looking forward to seeing what you come up with for this project.
I think you should have an over-arching theme for all the paintings so that they are conceptually and perhaps visually synchronized together.

I know you have a strong interest in the Old Masters, so I think it's funny and exciting that you've chosen to explore such a non-traditional means of painting.
Also, I think it's great that you intend to play around stylistically. Your paintings tend to have a narrative, sometimes mythic quality --what kind of narrative thread will be woven through this series?
