Summary:

This artowork illustrates my passions of art and dance together. A series of images of myself dancing are altered digitally to convey a relationship of figure, space and color.

This particular piece shows plenty of movement. The figures are lively with the arm extensions and makes the viewer want to know where they are going.

Show dance, a complex art, through a simple design. Art is the understanding of figure and space relationship. How does a snapshot illustrate musicality?

Design Solution:

I used one simple contour line to emphasize the figure in space. I used gradients of colors to show texture and I reversed the colors to balance implied movement.

Programs and techniques:

Adobe Illustrator was used to create clean sharp contour lines. Photoshop was used to photo manipulate and create color gradients.
