Who Do You Design For?

Shannon, our new Graphic Design blogger, kicks off her role with a fresh post exploring Why designers design and how to keep your creative juices flowing especially during the summer months. Read Who Do You Design For? #MarywoodArt #GraphicDesign

As summer rolls around and most of us art students are done with classes, how many will actually paint, draw, design and create art in our free time? (Assuming one has free time) College, no matter what you’re studying, is time consuming. Little sleep, no time to work, little money, and due dates every week. I know after my first semester of art school, I didn’t even want to look at a paintbrush…

Lets Try Woodcut!

This week, WhereCreativityWorks is happy to introduce our new Printmaking Blogger, Becca, a graphic design major with a love for all things printmaking. In her first post, she shares about trying woodcut with acrylics. #MarywoodArt #Printmaking #DayOne

For my first blog post I would like to introduce myself as a free spirit when it comes to the processes of creating. I believe in repurposing things of all sorts to create something that speaks to me. I also enjoy printmaking of all types, and something I had never done but always had interest in was creating a woodcut! For my first woodcut piece I found inspiration from my summer trip to Aruba,…

Summer Update

This week, Jillian shows us two paintings she's been working on over summer break in "Summer Update"

Hi everyone! I hope you’ve all had a great week! I suddenly realized it was nearing the end of July, meaning I only have a little over a month until I move back to school. While I’m excited for the next semester, I feel so behind on the pieces I wanted to finish this summer. So, as a little motivation for myself, I’d like to show you all the two pieces I’ve been working (and procrastinating)…

Camping

Caitlyn, Photography, shares photos from her recent camping trip in New Jersey in "Camping"

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is a great start to their summer! Last weekend, I went camping at Kymer’s Campground in Branchville, NJ with my family. It was very nice to take a step away from technology and catch up with family while enjoying nature. Being a photographer, I never go anywhere without my camera so, I explored around the campground and I stumbled upon interesting objects and…

Love

Romina, Sculpture, shows us a piece that depicts the struggles of expressing emotion in "Love"

Love is a unique word where the meaning can fluctuate from person to person. It can often be shown through small gestures or through huge displays. Love can cause pain, heal wounds, and inspire others. Alexander Milov is a sculptor who created a sculpture called “Love” in 2015. “Love” was a large scale project that shows two figures sitting away from each other juxtaposed by the two children…

The Spring Finale

Nick, Graphic Design, shows us his final web design project in "The Spring Finale"

Hello everybody! I’m excited to show you guys the last project I had this semester. This was a very strange and difficult I believe for everybody at Marywood but I am proud of how much I have developed my skills since January.

Now to get into the project! This is a simple website for our Graphic Design II class that was supposed to introduce us to web design by making an homage page to an…

Natural Inspirations

Joey, Ceramics, talks about how his hobbies inspire him to create in "Natural Inspirations"

Inspiration comes in strange ways and can often be illusive. I’ve had times where ideas flood my brain to the point that I need to write them down and make a list to try and get through them all – and other times when I really can’t think of a single good thing to make.

I have discovered over the course of the last few years that one of the very best solutions to a dearth of creative…

Plastic Bag Printmaking

Stephanie, Printmaking, uses household materials to create one of a kind prints in "Plastic Bag Printmaking"

This week I encourage you to unleash your creativity. I will be demonstrating a simple printmaking technique that will allow you to create unique prints with a common household item.

Monotypes, unlike most printmaking techniques, are unique and cannot be reproduced more than once. Monotyping is done by transferring hand-inked drawings or paintings from smooth non-absorbent surfaces to a paper or…

Opening Credits

Where Creativity Works is excited to introduce a new role and blogger this week. Meet Sawyer, our new Animation blogger. For his introductory post, Sawyer explores the awesome world of designing Opening credits for film! #MarywoodArt #Animation

Although too often overlooked, the opening credits of a film stand as an essential aspect of the filmmaking process that allows artists the freedom to convey the personality and themes of the work before the movie has even started. Additionally, animation and graphic design have played an integral role in the evolution of opening credits, becoming synonymous with the opening title sequence. The…

Developing In The Dark Room

This week, Caitlin achieves success creating usable black and white negatives from a borrowed film camera in "Developing In The Dark Room" https://wherecreativityworks.com/developing-in-the-dark-room/ #MarywoodArt

Hello Everyone! After figuring out what was wrong with camera I was lucky enough to borrow a film camera to use for this semester. I took it home with me last weekend and with my parents we took a trip to Lackawanna State Park. I took some test photos to learn how to use the camera. Once I had my roll of film, I developed them to be light sensitive. The results I had to laugh because their random…

Dead Things

This week, Max takes unusual found-objects and turns them into art in "Dead Things"

I’m not sure why but dead things keep showing up in front of me. You think I’m joking? The morning of writing this (6/20) I happened to be rummaging through my attic when this scene appeared out of the corner of my eye. A little brown bat lying lifelessly frozen… inside a Halloween candy bowl? I hadn’t quite ever seen anything like it… such a small-scale display of showmanship of Bowie-Esque…

The Beach

Caitlyn, Photography, shares photos from her trip to the Jersey Shore in "The Beach"

Hello Everyone! I had the chance to go to the Jersey Shore and spend it with family. It was nice to get away from the Pennsylvania Mountain scenery and see the beautiful side of Jersey. I spent all day on Saturday on the beach catching up with my family and also enjoying the sounds of the waves crashing through. It was a beautiful day and hot out, but the water was not swimming ready. It was…

Mo'ai

Romina, Sculpture, talks about the ancient statues found on Easter Island in "Mo'ai"

Off the coast of Chile in 1722 European explorers landed on Easter Island and met the Mo’ai. “Mo’ai” is Polynesian for “statue” and the large scale (13 feet!) statue are impossible to miss. Scientists studying the architecture of the Mo’ai discovered that these ancient structures were constructed with volcanic rock. The construction of this stone statues is believed to be around 1250 to 1500 c.…

The Rube Goldberg Machine

Romina, Sculpture, shows us her illustration of a mechanism designed to make toast in "The Rube Goldberg Machine"

For the final project in my illustration 2 class Professor Bonavoglia (@VinceBon on Twitter) assigned us to create a machine that functions like a Rube Goldberg machine. For those that are unaware of what that is, it’s basically a complex machine with many steps whose main function is to solve simple issue, such as opening a door, turning on the lights, or making toast. Professor Bonavoglia gave…
