This week students continued to develop designs for their Playing Card Portraits, incorporating the use of color. The color palette of playing cards was discussed and students were asked to utilize color schemes similar to those in the deck of cards. Attention to the detail of specific motifs within the clothing on their selected card was also discussed and included as part of the design for their portrait.
DIVAS (Digital Interactive Visual Arts Sciences) for Social Justice aims to bridge the digital divide by combining media literacy and cultural awareness along with a vast understanding of technology to encourage young women in under served communities to pursue careers in computer science and new media.
