Peter Pan and the Legend of Neverland





Here it is! My color theory final project - Peter Pan! I chose to slightly modify the story by setting it in 16th century Spain, at the beginning of the discovery of the "new world." The Darling family was set as middle class Spanish citizens, while Peter and the world that Neverland represents was based upon the European view of the "savagery" of the Americas. And Captain Hook was based upon the naval authority of the Spanish armada of the time.

Rollin' with STYLE

These are the pieces from the Style class with Mike Humphries. The bottom one is from the third assignment, which was to design a tree honoring a musical artist in the middle of a town square. I chose Al Hirschfeld as my style artist and The Beatles as my musical group. I did it in pen and ink like Al Hirschfeld, and because Hirschfeld doesn't really do environmental pieces in color, I was free to color it anyway I wanted. 

The middle piece was from an assignment in which we had to design a children's restaurant playground. I chose illustrator Lane Smith as my style artist and decided to make my restaurant a dinosaur themed venue. Like Lane Smith, I did this one in oils.
