I apologize if this is too hard to see clearly but I was expecting to show this sketch in class and kept things fairly light because I didn't want to make anything permanent before I at least got some feedback. If the photo isn't enough then I'll try and get it to a scanner tonight and repost it. Basically, I've just been trying to combine elements that make up the majority of posters I've looked at from the movement. So we have a girl with really wild hair as the main subject of the poster. The background isn't there yet because I can't decide if I want Text in the actual image or just on the border. If it looks really empty right now, its simply because I wanted an okay on the imagery before I take this into illustrator for the color and line work. Borders are 2 inches on top 3 on bottom and 1.5 on the side, so there's plenty of room to work with the patterns and decor. Most of the text will be on the bottom and will probably just be the name of the movement and date. I'm thinking about using the bottom right of the image to display the names of some important artists of the movement as well.
This sketch looks great. After looking at this movement in more detail, I think you are effectively portraying Art Nouveau. The large female figure with wild hair is very graceful. It's effective. I can imagine it with the text on the top/bottom??
ReplyDeletereally the text should be "incorporated" into the hair. Gabe, did you find out WHY they used HAIR so much? Would be good to know the meaning behind how that all started as to accurately portray it in the image.
