Creative Arts Champlain

A year’s worth of pictures, fun and memories! 40th anniversary edition.

When planning for this drawing, these second semester DISA students had to locate an area of the college where they would capture space.
The first part of the drawing consisted in structuring the architectural environment: mapping the perspective lines in proportion to the various areas.
The second part of the drawing consisted in allowing LIGHT to enter the architecture, bouncing off the surrounding structures.
Students could work from the existing lights or create imaginary lights that would load the atmosphere with surreal qualities.

Some wacky hybrids from the DISA 2D imaging students.

A few examples of the self-portrait from DISA’s 2D imaging class.

Here is some work from last year’s exhibition by recently graduated DISA students. This year’s exhibition is coming Friday, May 11th.

Nothing is better than a Self-Portrait to sum-up the different areas of the 2nd semester DISA program: drawing, painting and digital imaging. In this final project, students integrated their studio expertise with a realistic or a fictional Self-Portrait inspired from an artist.

These crazy “movie previews” were a feature at last year’s Friday the 13th End of Year Screening. Designed by Dan Babineau; video editing by Jimmy Hayes.

Are you into Metaphor, Allegory or Anamorphosis? In this project, 2nd semester DISA students “took a dive” into the notion of transformation.

These drawings were done as a final project in the 2nd semester DISA drawing course.  The notions of Tattoos and Camouflage were used to give these self-portraits other possible levels of interpretation.  This work is now up in the Wayne Remington Gallery (2nd floor of G-block).

These crawling creatures were a first attempt to handle NURBS’ geometry into many possible anatomical features. And the inspiration for the architectural structures was the classic 17th century windmill. From our 3rd semester DISA students using MAYA.
