Week 3 MOCA: Museum of Compter Art Linda Levy

linda Levy

This piece is titled “Mandy”.  The artist’s name is Linda Levy; she has been painting and creating artwork images using the computer as artist's media since 1985.  This artist uses a Pentium-based computer and an artist's software program, called "Painter".  She uses this program to create one-of-a-kind artwork pieces, which are printed and finished in an archival tradition.   She also uses this program along with some other web-authoring software, to create websites for other artists and those who wish their site to have an aesthetic appeal.  In the past couple of years, Linda Levy has also been pulled into graphic designing...artists, and others, wanted business cards, artist's statements, postcards, all reflecting who they are as an artist or person. 

This piece reminds me of the week 2 assignment.  I love the colors and the fact that you can still see the woman’s features.  Its looks kind of like a painting; It’s amazing what the computer can do today.

  2. Starting with a photograph and radically altering it is a great way to arrive at an interesting illustration.
