Calligramme - Maeve Hydock

Above is my Calligramme art piece that I created. I decided to draw a pair of glasses because not only do I wear, and will continue to wear glasses throughout my lifetime but glasses are also a sign of a look into the future. Therefore, glasses are like looking into the future which is exactly what we wrote about. We wrote a letter to our future selves twenty years from now. 

My letter: 

I hope this letter finds you well and surrounded by the love and happiness that your life has to offer. As I sit here

writing this in January of 2024 I can not even begin to wonder where life has brought you and the journey you have

been on. I can not wait to hear about the different experiences and challenges you have gone through to bring you to

where you are today. 

To start, I hope you have continued to be confident and happy through tough situations. I hope you kept a curious mindset of what life has yet to bring you. Even though you will be reading this 20 years from now, new things come every day. Life is an amazing adventure and I hope you continue to grow, learn, and explore as a person. I hope you continued to try new things even when nervous and found fulfillment in your professional and personal endeavors. I trust that you followed your passion in your career, relationship, and personal pursuits and continued to make your dreams a reality as you followed those paths. I hope that appreciate and continue to appreciate any failures or setbacks you had and will have throughout life as they are just steps to success. 

I hope you continue to surround yourself with people that fulfill your happiness. People who will uplift your spirit when you are down and inspire you to be the best person. I hope you have continued to nurture the relationships you have with your friends and family and cherish them every single day. 

I hope you continue to work out, go on runs, and eat healthy. This is such an important thing to do as you grow up and I know mom would want you to. That being said I hope you are both mentally and physically healthy. Taking care of yourself inside and out is a need. Relax if you are having an off day you do not need to be on the go 24/7. 

Lastly, I wonder what we have experienced throughout these 20 years. Where are we working? What is your relationship status? What places have we traveled to? And who did we travel with? I hope the world has become a better cleaner place.

As I finish writing this letter I want you to look back and remember when you wrote this. I want you to reflect on the journey you have been through since then that brought you to where you are today and how you are as a person. Do not forget to savor your accomplishments, acknowledge the growth you have been through as an individual, and embrace the memories you have with people or by yourself. Life is what you make of it, and I trust that you have made the most of it. 

I look forward to forward to reconnecting with you. I am filled with excitement for the stories, achievements, and moments you have to share with me.

 #1 Blog      Hi! My name is Maeve Hydock, I am from Pennsylvania, and I live right outside Philadelphia. I am a Freshman at The University of Tampa and I am currently majoring in entrepreneurship. I may switch my major to marketing but I do enjoy the business field. A fun fact about me is that I have a dog named Franklin. I enjoy traveling, going on runs, painting, and cooking. I recently went to Costa Rica with a few of my friends and it was the coolest place I have been. I go on runs almost every day on Bayshore when I am at school. I paint a lot on different-sized canvases, and there are a lot of my paintings hanging up in my apartment. I am also always cooking meals for my roommates and me. We make all different kinds of food from seafood to tacos and pasta. I also enjoy listening to music, I listen to all kinds of music, but I enjoy house music the most.      I am definitely excited to take this class. I do not have many feelings about the c...

Animation - Maeve Hydock

Image
  Artist Statement:  In my animation "Blossoms and Sunshine," I wanted to show the cool journey of a flower blooming, all made in Photoshop. Starting with the timeline, I brought together a bunch of images to tell the story of a flower growing. I embedded each individual image into photoshop. I used the quick selection tool to cut out each piece just right, and with the brush tool, I switched up from white to black to make that growing effect of the flower. Every image got its own layer, and I grouped some together to stay organized by making a folder. Masking was key for making everything blend smoothly. My goal was to make something that feels real and full of life, like you're watching a real flower bloom right in front of you. It's a simple, chill animation that I hope makes people feel as happy as a sunny day with flowers everywhere.

Ps HW 1 - Maeve Hydock

 Video One: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZACwQzj7TQ  This video was very interesting because he made everything seem pretty easy even though I know it may be harder when I start using the tools. However, he was able to explain it in a pretty good way in a short amount of time. To start the first tool that I find easy to use is the Lasso tool. I will use this to cut things out of an image that I do not want there. The patch tool seemed a little more difficult since it replaced something in the image. He made it seem pretty easy to use like I said above, however, I feel like when I actually use it, it will be more difficult.  Video Two: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS5uh5TCXcU  In the video, what I found interesting was how he went through a short tutorial on a lot of the tools. He also explained them in further detail and if they're more advanced or not. The move tool seems pretty easy. It does basically what the name says it does. You can move things...
