For this assignment, I decided to express emotion through nature: Falling rain in a drought expressing satisfaction, a wave hitting a rock to express aggression, wishies expressing ambition, and a "weeping" willow (my favorite tree) expressing sadness. I usually use a lot of pen, ink and watercolor, but for this assignment I decided to be a little more bold and try something new so I ended up using acrylic, newspaper, and ink. I not particularly fond of my series and will probably be redoing most, if not all of them. However, I am glad I experimented with materials I was not comfortable with and hope to produce even better work in the future.

Letter/Form

This is my simplistic type specimen poster for my designed typeface called, "Entangled Extension." For my found grid, I used hairbrush bristles and then formed the letters using floss. I attempted to use hair extensions to shape the letters, but it was difficult to maneuver around the bristles and I figured since the poster was going to be black & white, I could just supplement something else that was easier to work with that would appear as hair. I usually have a tough time making simplistic art and I am happy I accomplished doing so with this assignment. Illustration and Form and Communication work to come!
