G easy andy warhal pop art

My strongest aspect of this project is how my picture is really popping from the background. I think the contrasts of colors really lifts the pop art off the page and gives him a lot of  life like he's actually alive. I think that i picked a great picture and i really like how part of his head is shadowy, i think that it gives the picture a cool feature and really gives the picture characteristics. it could of been a little more clear of a picture or of a face.
     The only thing that was easy about this project was making it look natural i don't think i had much trouble doing it. For example the colors look pretty well put together. I didn't have much trouble finding two colors that would fit together mainly because of the starter project i did before this but after i found two i just had to figure out where to put them .
    The objective of this project was to make an ordinary portrait into a pop art inspired piece using the pen tool. clipping paths,and fill layers. I think my project  looks very natural and exactly how it would look if you were to put some type of filter on it. If I could do this project over again i wouldn't  pick a easier picture  to do, mainly because i like the shadows on his face i think it gave it a really cool look.

Kody McNeil pop art

My strongest aspect of this project is how my picture is really popping from the background. I think the contrasts of colors really lifts the pop art off the page and gives him a lot of  life like he's actually alive. I think that i could of picked a lighter picture than such a shadowy picture, i think that it would of been easier to pop off the page. Something like a transparent image or picture of a face.
     The only thing that was easy about this project was making it look natural i don't think i had much trouble doing it. For example the colors look pretty well put together. I had trouble finding two colors that would fit together but after i found two i just had to manipulate figure out where to put them .
    The objective of this project was to make an ordinary portrait into a pop art inspired piece using the pen tool. clipping paths,and fill layers. I think my project  looks very natural and exactly how it would look if you were to put some type of filter on it. If I could do this project over again i would defiantly pick a easier picture  to do, once again there wasn't a lot of defying features in this  picture.

morph prodject

       My strongest aspect of this project is how the bass's mouth is really popping from the picture. I think this really lifts the animal off the page and gives him a lot of  life like he's actually alive. I think that i could of picked two better animals rather than a deer and a bass, i think that it would f been easier to pop off the page. Something like a duck and a goose both having the same body style it would be easier to do.
     The only thing that was easy about this project was making it look natural i don't think i had much trouble doing it. For example the two animals look pretty well morphed together. I had trouble finding two pictures that would fit together but after i found two i just had to manipulate the pictures to fit .
    The objective of this project was to make two animals look as natural as possible. I think my "Bail" looks very natural and exactly how it would look if you were to find it in the natural. If I could do this project over again i would defiantly pick a easier animal to do, once again there wasn't a lot of corresponding pictures.

Shape collage

 My strongest aspect of this project is how the shapes are all very symmentrical . I think this really gives the project a lot of life. I think that i could of picked a better shape to use one that was easier to pop off the page. Something like a triangle or a different sized square.
     The only thing that was easy about this project was making it look symmetrical i don't think i had much trouble doing it. For example the middle group of circles really compliment each other  and bring contrast with all the different colors. I had trouble centering a lot of the shapes because i didn't really have an idea of what i wanted to do. I was just going off my artistic instinct.
    The objective of this project was to have symmetry and use the different tools. I think collage really shows summitry though because of all the different layers and folders corresponding with each other. If I could do this project over again i would defiantly pick a easier shape to do, once again it would of been easier to demonstrate symmetry.

polaroid


     My strongest aspect of this project is how the lions mouth is really popping from the picture. I think this really lifts the animal off the page and gives him a lot of  life like he's actually roaring. I think that i could of picked a better picture to use one that was easier to pop off the page. Something like a person or a different animal.
     The only thing that was easy about this project was making it look natural i don't think i had much trouble doing it. For example the mouth looks like its actually roaring the way its suppose to. I had trouble highlighting certain features of the lion except for the mouth because the lions head is so round and dosent have a lot of features.
    The objective of this project was to make the pictures look like they just fell on the table and a random way. I think my lion looks very natural and exactly how it would look if you threw bunch of pictures on the table. If I could do this project over again i would defiantly pick a easier subject to do, once again there wasn't a lot to highlight.

tattoo

Artist Reflection...

        The strongest technical aspect of my beautiful work is the way wrapped her tattoo around her hip and picked a perfect placement for her tattoo. I think I could of gave the girl more definition in her stomach but other than that i think its pretty good.

      The easiest part of this whole project was picking my person to put a tattoo on her. I really enjoyed looking through all of the bikini models until i found a perfect match. The hardest thing about this art activity was making the tattoo look natural but i think i did a pretty good job on the placement.

       I demonstrated the art objective by using the burn tool and dodge tool but also the warp tool this tool helps wrap the tattoo around her body. If i could do this art project again i would choose a different tattoo to improve my models body.

Artist Reflection-

In my opinion the way i contrast a golden safari planes to a fiery volcano is pretty cool if i do say so myself. I think this abnormal but in my eyes it looks amazing and i love the contrast it gives off. Even though i like my project a lot  i defiantly think i could put a couple more things into the background to help tie it in, but unfortunately  i wasn't able to get back on the internet. 

The easiest thing about this art activity was how wide of a variety we could go into, it was very creative and i loved it. On the other hand making everything coexist together was just another challenge in its self some things harder than other but over all it was a good project. 

i demostrated layers in this one by having many different things going on and also i used all the shortcuts. If i could do this all over again i would of defiantly went for more of a cartoon feel rather than a realistic type of feel, but over all i had a lot of fun with this.

letter prodject

Artist Reflection-

I think the strongest technical part of my work is the symmetrical "K" all around the outsides.  In my opinion it looks fantastic and everything is exactly symmetrical which was pretty difficult but i got through it. I defiantly could of come up with a more complicated design though my design is very easy in a sense, but this is exactly how i wanted it so even if it could be approved i still wouldn't change it.

I think the easiest thing about this project was actually picking the letter and colors. I liked how we had full range and we got to be as creative as we wanted with it. The only thing i had difficulty with was making everything exactly symmetrical, but even that wasn't that difficult it was just more time consuming if anything.

i demonstrated symmetry in this first project by placing all my "k" perfectly aligned with each other. Also I made sure everything was opposite of each other to give it more texture and life. If I could do this art project over again i would defiantly try to make a more complicated design and also switch up the colors and font.
