Imaginative photographer lands world-tour job at Coke. Growing up, Canadian photographer Joel Robison, known on Flickr as Boy_Wonder, was always a bit of a daydreamer.
Blame it on the movies he watched or the stories he read as a kid, but it caused him to look at everyday objects differently. It’s a creative direction that blended both fantasy and reality. And years later, it would lead him to a dream job in photography and become a Flickr icon! Joel’s foray into photography began after college graduation. “I didn’t really feel connected to that part of my mind that was creative,” Joel recalls. Joel went on eBay and bought a cheap, used DSLR camera for about $120. “I started taking self-portraits and using that as a chance to to tell my story through my eyes, with me as the person that’s telling that story and that changed everything for me,” Joel admits. Joel downloaded Photoshop and began to see the potential it had to create stories he’d seen in movies as a kid. Joel moderated Coca-Cola’s Flickr community for about a year and a half. "The first week of August is motionless, and hot. It is curiously silent, too"

Color Theory for Designers, Part 1: The Meaning of Color. About | eastartroom. My name is Tim Bogatz, and this site is a space that I have created to reflect on my teaching, share my ideas, present the work of my students, and interact with other art teachers. I am the head of a 2-person high school art department, and our school has about 1,600 students. I teach a little bit of everything, though my focus is on drawing and painting. My own artmaking has slowed lately with a 6-year old daughter and 4-year old s0n running around my house, but my lovely wife and I wouldn’t trade them for anything. When I do have time to create, however, I work on realistic colored pencil drawings and realistic graphite drawings. If you have any questions or comments for me, please let me know. In addition, this blog is sponsored by Art to Remember. Like this: Like Loading...
Cheeming Boey Cup Project | eastartroom. This is absolutely one of my favorite lessons–it usually takes only a few days, but it’s a different way of working and my kids really get into it. First, a video: I first found Cheeming Boey through a student who had shown me some of his work. I was really fascinated by many of the things he does, but being the art teacher I am, my first thought of course turned to “How do I make this into a lesson?” Honestly, it was not that difficult.
I put together a few images from Boey’s website that showed a variety of techniques and styles that he had tried. Specifically, I was looking for hatching, cross-hatching, stippling, and other ways of adding value. We started with writing, then moved on to sketches. Sketches are very simple–I am looking for nothing more than the idea of what they want to do for the project. P.S. P.P.S. Like this: Like Loading...
