Project 4

-

 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.

    I really love your concept! What a great way to create a self portrait with objects and not yourself. I think it would interesting to see you take this project in a surrealism concept where it does'nt have to make scenes.

 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 #2

 For this Iteration I was just focusing on how I could mess the photo up, I think I am having a difficult time doing these because I have a tendency to have things organized. I am trying to do things without putting in too much thought, it is more difficult than I thought. I am not completely satisfied with this because it still looks organized. I hope the next one could be a little more destructive. I tried to keep the theme women related by using a flower pattern.

Iteration #3

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.
