Art Pieces by Maeve

Piece One

Pencil sketch of hands enhanced through photoshop

This piece initially was a pencil and charcoal sketch using a mixture of white paper and brown craft paper. Using my photoshop skills I enhanced this piece by adding abstract shaded boxes around the hands. I liked the structure and different colour tones and shadows I was able to achieve on this art piece in photoshop.

Created Feburary 2024

Piece Two

Developed photograph from 35MM Photography

This is a photograph I took in NUIG, Galway using a 35MM Camera. I created this piece for my photography module in semester one. This module taught us to explore different exposure levels and to look for photo opportunities in an innovative way.

Created December 2023

Piece Three

White pencil sketch on black paper

This piece was an observational study of a mechanical object for my portfolio. I choose an old compass and studied it in many different angles, sketching them out on a high contrast sheet.

Created January 2024

Piece Four

Photographic Contact Sheet Study

This piece displays many photos of the same shoes, in slightly different angles. Then placed into photoshop that automatically places the images into a 5x3 rowed contact sheet. This was part of my design module where we studied shoes as our design artefact.

Created March 2024

Piece Five

Photoshop Blackbox Study

This piece was an interpretation of the word "bold" we had to create for a Photoshop Blackbow study. This task required us to make a design only using black boxes.
