An Art Hive is a community art studio that welcomes everyone as an artist. From an art pop-up in a local library to a community studio or gallery, at its heart, an Art Hive is about inclusion, respect and learning. It's a welcoming place to talk, make art and build communities. Responding in creative ways to things that matter.

Last night, the wonderful and generous (if not mischievous!) Jimmy Olsen spent time teaching me how to make static EEP skies. He doesn't like what I am doing because he wants it to look slightly blurry for more "realism," but mine are not for that. I am thinking about them for doing events at the Playa, even manually changing them out during the events! Or maybe at an art festival! The sky is my canvas! During an art festival, you could share the work of others, changing them out periodically. Thanks for your time and patience, Jimmy! Now the fun begins!

I made a short webpage with a simple tutorial for those that want to play! https://sites.google.com/dynamiclearning.solutions/eep-fun...

Someone commented on my last post that they had some of my mesh having issues with resizing. I want to always let people know...if you have an issue with the mesh, let me know. In the meantime, I have learned techniques (not mysteries for mesh creators, but I am new at it and slow) that prevent collapse and resizing texture issues. However, those things are always dependent on the piece, the original image that was used, and the texture itself. One of the reasons I include the textures with the pieces under contents is so that people can sharpen them, change the shading, etc. I don't always sharpen my textures. Some of the original images I used are done in styles like impressionistic painters. This make them look differently, but they are consistent upon resizing. I made a little webpage demonstrating some of this, for those that are interested. https://sites.google.com/dynamiclearning.solutions/meshing...
