For this project we had to take one self portrait of ourselves and apply a filter to it in 9 separate squares. I basically made the grid and then at random chose nine filters and applied them and if I liked the filter, then i left it, however i had to change a few that were a little weird and unappealing. I liked this project as it gave me a good opportunity to check out all of the different filters in photoshop.

Midterm Project

This was my midterm project where we had to make a 35 square grid and use around 25 images in the midterm. I used a total of 6 different images in 27 different squares. For inspiration i just looked through all of my old projects and pulled out some of the ones i liked the most. Then i started going down the list and checking which tools i had used. It was kind of difficult to find all of the tools since it has been quite a while since i last used them however with the help of the search tool i managed to find them all and use them hopefully properly. After i was done with the checklist i went back and applied some more filters to random photos because i really like the filter tool and all the different affects you can use with it. Then i went through the task of filling out the sheet that details what all i did. I really like this project because it was fun to go back through all my old projects and use them in a fun new project.

marla painting

For this painting we had to do an abstract expressionist style piece of art based off of the movie about the 4 year old girl who started making thousands of dollars off of her paintings. To do this work i just selected the paint brush tool and started making random lines and then switching colors, i also changed the type of line some, as well as the size of the line. This was an interesting project as i did not know what to expect going in to it, and it is not my favorite as i am not a huge fan of Abstract art in general

xmas card

For this project we had to make a greeting card and enter it in the contest. Unfortunatley i did not make my card in time and so i was not able to enter it into the contest. None the less i made my card for Christmas because it happened so recently. Like most people the first thing I think of, when i think of Christmas is Santa Claus, so i made a Christmas card with Santa saying "merry Christmas!!". Then because Nick insisted I put a trim on the picture and i agree that it looks a lot better with the trim on.

I really like this art work because it is a picture made with real world materials. I like sculptures like this because they remind me of the art around Charlottesville that i like so much. I like these because they turn every day materials into a piece of art that looks really good. Overall i just think this looks really cool how they arranged everything and made a simple yet awesome looking picture

I like this art cover because im not a huge fan of art but when I see a piece of art i think the artist should say which time period it actually came from and not try to make the painting or sculpture seem like it came from another age. I also like the picture on the front because it is old art and the use of shadows on the people's faces is very cool to me. The painting looks very old and is very old because it is not a fake and that is cool to me and makes it legit. overall this is just a cool looking painting
