shape collage

Artist Reflection...

     My strongest technical aspect was making it symmetrical and using the opacity tool to make it all blend together.  A technical aspect that could use improvement is the color scheme.

     It was easy to make it symmetrical by add and overlapping shapes.  It was difficult to choose colors that looked good together and making sure every shape was seen.

     I demonstrated the objective of this project by making it symmetrical.  If i could do this project again i would use different shapes.
   

polaroid

Artist Reflection...
      The strongest technical aspect of my work is using the polaroid pictures to make it seem like the polaroid pictures are scattered out on a table. Another strong technical aspect is making the his hands and legs pop out of the polaroids.  The technical aspect of my work that could be improved would be my background.  I could've chose a better background and better colors for the background.
     It was easy to choose a picture and background that corresponded with each other.  It was also easy to place the polaroid pictures so that there wasn't a lot of white in a certain area and so they weren't all going the same direction.  It was difficult to choose colors for the backgrounds to make the background and picture look better together and make the picture stand out.
     I demonstrated the objective of this art activity because i created the allusion that the polaroid pictures were scattered on a table.  If i could do this art activity again i would choose a different picture and different background.

tattoo

Artist Reflection...

      The strongest technical aspect of my work is that i made the tattoo look realistic.  Changing the opacity of the tattoo and wrapping it around my writs.  The technical aspect that could be improved is  that i could've chose a better placement for my tattoo.
      It was easy to pick out a tattoo and to chose a placement for it.  The difficult part of this project was getting the tattoo to look real, using the opacity and fitting it to my wrist.
      I demonstrated the objective of this project by making the tattoo realistic, i used the warp tool, and changed the opacity.  if i could do this art project again, i  would chose a different location for my tattoo to go.
     

landscape project

Artist Reflection...

           The strongest technical aspect of my work was blending the different backgrounds and pictures.  You can't tell that there is four different pictures used to create this one image, but using the  masking tool and changing the opacity made it look like it is all one.  The technical aspect that i can improve is that the pictures could blend more and look more realistic.  The water doesn't look as great as it could and the color of the water could've been more realistic.

          It was easy blending the backgrounds so they all look like they are in one picture.  Using the mask tool,  i could easily make it look like the water and the mountains were all part of one picture.  The difficult part of this project was finding different pictures to combine and create a theme for the picture.  

         I demonstrated the objective of this art activity by creating a foreground, middle ground, and background.  The foreground is the sand, the middle ground is the water, the background is the mountains.  If i could do this art activity again, i would chose a different theme.

personal identity

Artist Reflection...

       
            The strongest technical aspect of my work is choosing images, coloring them, and making them interact with each other.  This is the strongest technical aspect because i really like how i chose good colors and put characters that worked together nicely in my project.  The aspect that could've been improved was adding more characters.  There was a lot of open space that could've been filled with other pictures.
            It was easy choosing the colors for the pictures.  It was easy because choosing colors that go good together is easy.  It was difficult choosing the correct place to put the characters on the picture.  Some characters looked better in certain places and looked better next to specific characters.
           I demonstrated the objective in this art project by making it about my personal identity and portraying what i like threw pictures.  If i could do this project again i would have a better theme.
