part 3 final

I Like these because ...




I love sharks and horror movies with sharks, the actors in movies always say that its scarier not knowing where they are then knowing. They probably had a picture of the ocean and had a picture of a shark fin, they lassoed the fin and free transformed it into the ocean picture.
 Its powerful, and conveys a message obviously enough so that any one could understand people need to use trees less. Most likely, they used photoshop to lasso out the tree and deleted the words that way also.
 It really simplifies what happens when you pollute and tries to show you its dangerous. They edited the gun in by inserting the image on photoshop to a picture of a building.

It is a metaphor that demonstrates 
 that when you drink and drive you are contributing to violence, i like the metaphor.They used dodge tool to make background around spit lighter, and behind him darker by burn tool.
I like this since it looks like she is in the crash by the way her face looks, but clearly she isn't in a car. They did the blood by lassoing from another picture and free transforming it in the picture.
Artists
Roy Lichtenstein has a comic book style, Ben day dots are used to fill in color.Andy Warhol uses 4 pictures all different color contrasts , each picture interacting with each other. Similarly, they are not realistic art styles. Though, Roy doesn't have 4 blocks of pictures, Andy does.
Brandon Staton takes pictures of real people on the streets of New York and talks to them. David Meanix uses paper, rips it up, and covers thing. They both use real humans, but David uses objects sometimes. Pablo Picasso has a cubism style. Unlike  Brandon and David, he is photographic, not a painter. Similar to David, creates weird images.
I learned...
I now understand how to use photoshop and I am a better typer. Before, photoshopping an image took a whole period, but now i can do it in 5 or 10 minutes. Also, i understand how to use most tools, especially the lasso tool. I am better at researching and planning and can take an image and point out what tools were used to do it. My Favorite digital project was the three of myself because it was fun playing with scale. My Favorite studio project was the fashion show, i love making clothes, especially with newspaper and a stapler.

I was inspired by him and made this for final

scratch board

Scratch-boarding is the use of  knives and tools to etch a white picture covered in black ink. When scratched, a layer of shine appears.
Graffito art  is the equivalent to scratch in italian,means scratches on walls instead of spray paint, to make a picture.
These two things are similar because they both scratch a surface to reveal an image.

hw this week 5-20

hw pass from fashion show 

surreal-self portraits

I like when photographers play with scale and make you question what your seeing.

This could not really happen, so i like seeing what it would look like if peppers were that large.

They edited this perfect, it looks real.

Its comical and well photo-shopped.

This is so creepy and looks so real.




Tips for better self portraits
1-try shooting the picture at arms length.
2.use props 
3-find a place unpopulated
4-dont look at the camera
5-use movement 
6-use self timers
 3 of me selfie 
This 3 of me selfie really represents my character because I always contradict myself. The angel is attempting to make me feel better by agreeing with me and the devil is me beating myself up over what I did. I'm horrible at making decisions because I don't know which option will have the better outcome. Constantly,I question my decisions, than try to reassure myself. Not knowing what to lean towards is my frequent struggle,which is why I end up asking someone what to do.


 i used levitation and scale!

how light changes the subject

Response to video-
As I watched this video, I noticed light does change the subject. When the light changed, so did the women's face. Transformed, the shape of her face became a whole new face when the lighting was different.For instance, the eyes and nose looked the most different. Surprised, I never thought someones face would transform with light.
