Artist Reflection...

    The strongest technical aspect of my work is using the pen tool to outline all the stripes of the zebra then using the textured bush to make the stripes look more realistic.  Another strong technical aspect was painting the nose/ mouth and the eye to look life like.  By using the eye-drop to take the colors from the actual picture, then using the paint brush to paint over the areas where it corresponds to make it look realistic and life-like.  The technical aspect that could've used some work was the background.  Using the paint brush and trying to give it the effect that it was in the background and blurred, it could've been done better.
     The easiest part of this project was to outline all of the stripes of the zebra, and then paint them all in to make them look realistic and textured.  The most difficult part of this project was getting the correct colors to make the eye and nose have the correct values and look realistic like the picture.
     I demonstrated the objective of this project by using the textured brushes, pen tool, and eye dropper to make it look like a painting.  I found a picture of a zebra, that i then painted over using many layers and many paint brushes, and at the end of it, made it look like a painting.  If i could do this project again, i would chose a different picture, and i would try using different brushes and values.

        The strongest technical aspect of my work is using the paint brush to color in the different parts of the picture, using the threshold tool and making the black darker and lighter on different layers, i used the hue and saturation tool for changing the colors of the pictures so that they look good together and have the pop art affect.  The technical aspect that i could've worked on was was choosing different colors to make the different aspects of the picture to stand out.
         The easiest part of this project was painting in the different parts of the picture to make it look real.  It was easy using the hue and saturation tool for changing the colors of the other four images so they all corresponded and went together.  The most difficult part of this project was using making the four images into a 2 x 2 grid.
         I demonstrated the objective of this project by following the directions and creating an Andy Warhol Popart.  I demonstrated it by creating a 2x2 grid pop art using different colors to make all the images look good together.  If i could do this project again, i would use different colors when using the paint brush and the hue and saturation tools to color in the images.

             The strongest technical aspect of my work was that i cut out the face nicely using the pen tool, i also colored the face in using different colors and tones to show the different facial features using the paint brush and paint bucket.  The technical aspect of my work that could be improved would be the darker toned colors that were used to make the facial features stand out.  I could've used different colors and made the features look more realistic.
             The easiest part of this project was choosing what person to do, and making it look like pop art by changing the levels of the face.  The most difficult part of this project was choosing the right colors to paint the face, and creating his lips because there wasn't an outline of his lips to just follow and color in.
              I demonstrated the objective of this project by turning a normal picture into a pop art picture by using the pen tool, clipping paths and filling the layer.  If i could do this project again, I would use a better color scheme to make it look better.
