Ari Bradley's Art Portfolio

                                                                     Avenue Saga                                                        Medium:Graphic Arts(Photoshop)          A scene from a NY avenue is showcased. We were given 5 images to incorporate into an image.

Wind Rage On Medium:Graphic Arts(Photoshop)  A hurricane has raged through a Florida community with junk everywhere while a friendly survivor hold tight to what he values most-his cat. We were assigned to create an environment that fits inside objects outside.

                                                              Elm Convenience Store                                                      Medium: Graphic Arts(Photoshop)                     The outer world has poured into an old abandoned convenience store. An Oak tree                                     wraps any sign of man's touch out of the store like a bird does her chicks.

                                                             T-Shirt Design(HHS VA)                                                              Medium:Graphite Pencil You have a symbol of a person with an acorn hat and the school information paired with a freestyle Visual Arts logo. My goal was to create something pleasing to the eye, while still maintaining complex elements in the design. I feel like my t-shirt design best fits the character of the program.

Portfolio Front + Back Medium:Pencil + Sharpie My portfolio mainly features the emoji side which is basically just a collage of my most frequent emojis and my name. I spent an extensive amount of time just nailing the designs while using prisma-color colored pencils. The other side displays my sketchbook gallery of swords I've drawn in the past.

Highway Paradox(2 Perspective Drawing) Medium: Graphite Pencil Our goal was to create an image using the 2 perspective technique; you must account for all the different shapes as well as angles. I drew a fore-cliff highway truck because I wanted to stand out as most everyone did a building or two. The truck ventures on continuously through time + space, only limited to the law of the road. 

                                                                                                                                                                         Noir Subway(Value Drawing)                                                    Media: Graphite Pencils + Watercolor The goal of the project was to take an ordinary object, through observation, out of context which I tried to take it to the extreme at least. The Subway(Train) and urban spirit(5th Ave.) pours elegantly from a Subway cup. The setting is a Subway shop itself. The biggest challenge for me was blending these two very diverse environments into one mended piece and I'm glad I took that chance seeing it came together decent. What would life be without a good challenge?

                                              Unwrittien Petal Soul(Thumbnail Sketch)                                Media: Colored Pencil, Permanent Marker, and Acrylic Paint Here, we have a multi-plated rose with an ink jar in the middle which represents one thing in particular. The true meaning is me expressing myself, and judging from what came of it, I like it. I'm a colorful person on the outside, but if you get to know me, your find something bigger than body and soul.\. Thorns represent the struggles I've endured and splatters are the messes I've made; after all that I'm still here.
