Revised Self Portrait

Since posting my final Life Drawing Self Portrait project last May, drawn from a mirror, I have revised the contour line drawing into a value drawing. Using the contour lines I created previously, it helped me to resolve three-dimensionality issues in how to shade the drawing in a realistic way to create volume. If you compare my previous contour drawing to this revised value drawing, you will be able to see the shapes here that were devised in line in the other drawing.

NASA Internship Webcast Video

I am very happy to be able to post the video I worked very hard on during my internship at the University of North Dakota this summer. The internship was 2 months long and consisted primarily of classes, research, and video production. Funded by NASA, it was called Communicating Climate Change, and the goal of my 9 fellow interns and I was to create 4 different webcast videos, of 5-7 minutes each, focusing on different environmental issues. All the preliminary research, scripting, storyboarding, graphics, music, video shooting and editing, was done by us. In short, from start to finish we did the work to put the videos together. The future purpose of these videos is for teaching middle and high school students about climate change, and to stimulate discussion topics relevant to the presented issues. My partner, Korey Southerland, and I produced the video on Land Use Change. Please enjoy!
