Final Project

-
Image
 For the final, I had a hard time trying to figure out what exactly it was that I wanted to do. It was a little challenging since I had no sense of direction on what I wanted to do. I thought of my niece, I know that she's a big fan of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. With my original plan, I was going to put her on the Disney Cover (the screen that pops up before the show actually starts). I planned on remaking it to where it would be her show. I finished my original look, I didn't like it at all. I felt like I wasn't doing to much of my own work. So I decided to do this. I drew her out with the pen tool and made her into a puzzle. I don't know if this is exactly what I envisioned, however, I do like it. I also like the grayscale look as well, I had it in color as well. I added hearts all over because I love her of course.

Project 4

Image
 For this assignment, since it will be a self portrait, I focused on relating everything you see to myself. Everything in the image so far serves a purpose. I wanted to do a mixed media theme where I plan on drawing myself and scanning it, then adding it to the image. That is just one idea that I have so far. There are still some things that I want to play around with. This image basically explains how I set up barriers and how I often stop myself from creating art, especially since I critique myself heavily. The right side represents the barrier (I added a message on the "barrier" as a source of encouragement. The left side represents the endless possibilities I can have if I get rid of the "barrier", which is why I added the "Keep Left" sign as in me heading in the right direction.

Project 3 Update

-
Image
 This is an updated version of my Project. The center focus of my project is hair and the creative expression/ free will that is has to offer. Also the cycle of hair, which can include the clue of hair growth, the cycle of creating a hairstyle, and the cycle of learning to love you hair. I decided to stick with an abstract/ sketch book theme. I still have some work to do on this. My whole process so far has been nothing but trial and error. It was a lot of starting from scratch. In this piece, to create a more abstract piece, I used an actual piece of art that I made that was saved in my phone, and I like the look that it added to this piece. I will begin to work on iterations. I went home this week and the wifi connection here is a little wacky so I will try to post another update.

Project 3 Update

 I decided to give my original theme another try. I want to do something more abstract since none of my images really correspond. I also want to add water, however, I don't think that I would be able to get a clear shot of water, so I may end up finding a brush to use. I am just going to continue to try things out until I find something that I actually like. I feel like I go through this phase with every project.

Project 3

-
Image
 I initially chose images that dealt with black hair care, however, I struggled trying to think about something that I could do. Looking at the examples shown, every person had things that pertained to nature. I recently had to go out of town, and in the car, I started to snap photos. So far, this is what I have with the photos I snapped. In the beginning I accidentally cropped and moved the lid of the cup and I immediately thought of a drink spill. I did not take the picture of the drink spill because I did not know how I could possibly do that, one because I do not know how to and two, it would have been super messy. I don't know what I want the outside of the car (looking out the window) to consist of just yet. I am still testing things out.

Iteration #3

-
Image
For this iteration, I wanted to focus on working on different layers while trying to make the background a collage of the original posters used in the first piece on this project. I haven't quite figured out how to add multiple pictures to one layer, after doing this I had at least thirty different layers with a poster for the background.
