Featured Student: Zaire

Professor Victoria Martin student work: Zaire

Today I would love to introduce you to another extremely talented student named Zaire. The image above was created in Photoshop 1 as his art history piece.

His influence was Japanese Urban Art and Anime. The colors glow. Check out the halo effect around the upper edge of the beast as he removes the skin from his bones. Sweet and really scary at the same time. 

I also really like the use of contrasting colors. Note the little green tinge around the eyeball. Well done Zaire. This week of Thanksgiving I am thankful to have such wonderful, talented students in my classroom. Thanks for making my job such a joy.

Midnight Sun Festival: Community Project

I believe in giving back to the community. At the start of the term I try to reach out to people/businesses in the community who could use a little design help. Here are a few design pieces from a student named Alyssa. While her choices were not the final picks for the event, I personally really liked them.

Ironically, Lake Worth, Florida has one of the largest Finnish populations outside of Finland. Federal Highway in Lake Worth is dotted with Finland inspired hotels.  And can I add, if you haven’t ever seen a wife carrying contest… you don’t know what you are missing.

See the video at the bottom of the page. Or Google. Trust me… you’ll laugh or gasp.

Alyssa’s work is colorful and radiates warmth. And the idea of making pins for the entry pass is a great way to invite the public to keep them as a souvenir.
