Aladdin Color Studies

This week, we did digital studies of this

scene in Disney's Aladdin:

We discussed the use of complementary colors in the scene,

as well as the compositional elements and the use of

atmospheric perspective and depth with color.

Here are the studies from our awesome members:

Crafty Compositions

This week we studied compositions by breaking them 

down into their basic shapes. We set up a craft table 

with construction paper, glue, tape, and scissors. 

Some people made compositions traditionally with the 

crafts and some people made them digitally 

using the lasso tool in Photoshop.

The compositions we studied were from the movie 

The Iron Giant.

We also looked at helpful composition tutorials while studying the compositions. 

All of these are really useful and worth the read. 

Here are some of the compositions we made.

Next Week

Using construction paper,

we will be recreating

compositions from

The Iron Giant

and discussing techniques.

Environment Studies

This week we explored environments and composition! 

We started off by looking at this artist's method for inspiration.

We also looked at backgrounds for animation 
and passed around these books.
