Concentration #2

So I like my two concentrations so far thouh they seem to be focusing to much on music. I want to branch out more to cover the different aspects. The only problem is that I've somehow ended up having to tie all of my works together with expressive lines, because we have to link our works in some aspect like that, appparently? I'm a little confused on whether or not we have to do that... Hopefully not so I can expand more.

The second of my works was done with chalk. The second used paint. When I first started this class I did more mixed media works and I kind of want to get back to thata and maybe add some 3D aspects as well. I like experimenting with media so I think I will continue doing this, using mediums that I've never used before and such. I like the freedom and freshness to it however photoshop and I are just now getting to know each other, and we're not necessarily friends yet. I expect to do more digital stuff in the future hopefully...

Concentration Topic- For Real

So after thinking about my topic for y concentration I decided that it wasn't really feasible because of the large amount of time and money it would require. Thinking on this I decided to change my topic instead. This time I decided my topic is "Nightlife." This will range from the positive to the negative such as prostitution and drugs to dancing and jazz.

Concentration Topic

      So I decided for my concentration topic that I'm going to do steampunk or steampunkery. In case you don't know Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction, alternate history, and speculative fiction that came into prominence during the 1980s and early 1990s. Specifically, steampunk involves an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century and often Victorian era Britain—that incorporates prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy. Works of steampunk often feature anachronistic technology or futuristic innovations as Victorians may have envisioned them; in other words, based on a Victorian perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, art, etc. This technology may include such fictional machines as those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne or real technologies like the computer but developed earlier in an alternate history. (Definition by Wikipedia :) )

      I plan to use various media such as chalk, photography, and some 3D layering and such. Steampunk comes out in a lot of different medias such as fashion, art, and literature. Below are some inspirations.
