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.

Abstract Art

day 1
-Abstract art uses lines,shapes,forms, and color, to create a form of illusion to viewers, and usually is difficult to recognize,SOMETIMES YOU CAN RECOGNIZE IT.
-Non-objective art is related to abstract art because it too, isn't representing a person or thing,NEVER ABLE TO RECOGNIZE.
-Non-representational art is another word for abstract and non-objective, NEVER ABLE TO RECOGNIZE IT THOUGH.
-Abstract expressionism is an art school that was popular from 1940-1960 and know for their exaggerated non-representational art
