iv) Idea & Concept: This art work conveys a message on the negative effect of technology. Technogy is the cause of online dating these days and online dating has proven to be harmful to the society. Many people have been victims of scams due to online dating.

The Technical Process

Drawing 1:

To begin with, I adjusted my drawing so that the lines would be more clearer.

Next, I used the rectangle tool to fill in the rectangular shapes with color

I used the line tool to create outline for my drawing so it would look neater

After coloring all the four sides and the two I-phones in the middles, I used the eclipse tool to create an oval shape on one of the I-phone

I then dragged this image onto the oval shape and chose the create clipping mask option

This is the result

Then I dragged this image in and chose the create clipping mask option again

This is the result. Next, I chose the blending options

This is the product after adjusting the blending options

I then dragged this texture onto my art work and chose the overlay option

This is the final product

However, I felt my art work is too bright so I decided to adjust the lighting effects

I chose the omni light type and adjusted the lighting

This is my final product

Drawing 2:

To begin with, I made the lines of my drawing much more visible

Next, I used the paint bucket and chose dark colors to color the buildings

Next, I used the rectangle tool to create the windows on the buildings

After I finished coloring all those buildings, I dragged this texture onto my art work

And I chose the overlay option

This was the result

I wanted it to be much darker to match the dark buildings color so again I adjusted the lighting

I chose the omni type again but made the shade darker this time

This is my final product

Drawing 3 :

As usual for the start I made the lines clearer

Then I used the paint bucket to color my drawing

Next, I used the line tool to create an outline for my work

Then I dragged a smooth texture for the right side

and a rough texture for the right side

This is my final result

My 18 Sketches

Art Movement : Op Art

Reference Artist : Josef Albers

Series : Technology and Society Series

Introduction

My drawings represent the Technology and Society Series. Many people these days are very into technology, it has become a big part of everyone's life in this modern world. Smart phones, Ipads, Computers, you see them everywhere you go. Even kids at the age of five and six are tech savy. However, what people don't see is the negative effects of technology. As much as it lessens down our burdens, it also brings harm to us. Hence, I chose this topic to share the negative side of technology.

Problem Statement

The main issue is that technology is taking over books, communication, and jobs involving people. Therefore, I chose this topic to create awareness on how technology is affecting the society.

Research Question

How does technology affect the society ?
