  1. Hi my name is Rena Hoffman and today I
  2. will be presenting my final project for humanity's.
  3. Um Today I have decided that for the artist I would use,
  4. it was going to be the artist titled Glenn Hoffman and he also happens to
  5. be my father um and I look up to him so much as an artist,
  6. he
  7. create some really incredible pieces and I was really excited
  8. at the opportunity to dive into them more and try and
  9. re create one of his
  10. in my own style.
  11. Yeah,
  12. so who is Glenn Hoffman? He's a man, he's an artist, he's a father, what doesn't he do?
  13. He's incredible.
  14. So over here I have one of his pictures um in
  15. addition to one of my favorite pieces that he's done,
  16. this is also the piece that I decided to use
  17. for inspiration for my own peace because I just
  18. found it so beautiful and so well done.
  19. So now we have some of Glenn's story. So Glenn was born in 1962 in the Bronx in new york.
  20. Um He lived an amazing life, had an amazing family, he moved on to Long Beach,
  21. Long Island when he was a kid.
  22. Um and when it was time to go to college he decided
  23. that he wanted to major in business and he went to Oneonta State
  24. which is in upstate new york and after graduation he
  25. decided to work at Chase Bank um using his business degree
  26. and while he was there he decided that that wasn't his
  27. true passion in life and he decided to pursue art,
  28. so he went to two different colleges um the
  29. first one in which he majored in computer science
  30. And then he went back and he majored in digital media with a concentration in three D.
  31. Art, which is
  32. How he creates all of his art today. He created all virtually um using three D.
  33. Techniques.
  34. So Glenn's are so right now,
  35. his main career revolves around designing artistic home theaters.
  36. Um These are usually very extravagant, very elegant,
  37. they're absolutely beautiful, I'll have a picture of one on a later slide.
  38. So most of what he does is designed the acoustic
  39. panels and the other pieces of art in these theaters.
  40. But he also does a large number of um custom pieces in
  41. different styles and his main style right now is art deco,
  42. but he is well versed, he can do anything.
  43. Um And yeah,
  44. like I said he creates all of his are digitally using Photoshop
  45. and other online tools and utilizes a lot of three D.
  46. Styles.
  47. So here's some of his pieces of work in the top left corner,
  48. you can see one of his home theaters.
  49. He's done, he's done some really cool ones.
  50. He's done some space themed wands, they're all literally incredible,
  51. I want one of them in my house but that's unrealistic but anyways I digress.
  52. Um we also see a few of his other pieces,
  53. these are kind of the main style that I modeled mine after, You can see the three D.
  54. Techniques in like
  55. whatever was the focus of it and they're
  56. all very vibrant colors and absolutely beautiful.
  57. I'm in love with his art.
  58. Mhm.
  59. So from his art I took inspiration from my own um
  60. the specific piece was the piece titled Leaves are Falling,
  61. which is what was on the initial slide.
  62. Um And in my own piece, I tried to incorporate similar symbolism.
  63. I also made monetary artistic techniques, which I did by using Photoshop,
  64. which is what he uses and use of color.
  65. I tried to make it vibrant and beautiful and happy looking.
  66. Um Yeah, like I said to the song Photoshop, which is what my dad uses.
  67. So here we have the piece that I did, I titled the Tree of Life just because
  68. you know, I thought it was very symbolic.
  69. Um He's my father,
  70. he is my life source and also it's based off of his painting which is of a tree.
  71. So here we can see, I tried to use his three D.
  72. Techniques and making the grass seems like it's in front of
  73. the tree and the tree in front of the clouds.
  74. And I tried to use similar style in
  75. how he kind of makes it like kind of modern, like it doesn't, it looks like a tree,
  76. but then the leaves are kind of like funky as well as the sun.
  77. Um I took that inspiration from him directly and
  78. I'm really happy with how it came out,
  79. obviously it's not as good as his, but I'm still very proud of my work
  80. now. In conclusion. Um I did find the process to be somewhat simple.
  81. I was really, really lucky to have my dad be able to help me.
  82. He kind of guided me through how to use Photoshop and um like how to create art,
  83. and like, he taught me about
  84. how he gets the inspiration from his,
  85. he's never really have any type of deep meaning.
  86. Um it just kind of like whatever pops into his head. He likes to doodle as he'll say.
  87. Um it was really, really lucky to,
  88. I was really lucky to be able to learn from him and I had a
  89. really good time being able to connect with him on this part of his life
  90. and create my own art. So yeah, that's my project. Thank you so much for listening.
  91. I hope you love his art and I hope you like mine.
  92. I won't say love because that's a little extreme. But yeah, thank you so much
