Final Exam project

Final Exam- Reflection Portion

1. I chose the life goals/ambitions theme for my final exam project. I chose it because my life goal is to be a skin care/make up artist. It's an ambition of mine as well. I chose that theme because, well make up is everything to me. I love everything about it. You told us at the beginning of this class theres all kinds of different arts, well make up is mine. Faces are my canvases. I express myself through make up. I also chose this theme because it is the most important thing in my life right now. I'll be starting beauty school in the fall and hope to make a career out of it after all my training.

2. Regarding my favorite project:

I actually really loved painting the apple and adding all the detail/colors. I liked the program a lot because you had full control over it. Some of our other programs we used for other things would be tweaky and do things you didn't tell it to do. I had no problems with the program we used for the apple. Everything came out so smoothly and nice looking, I really liked as you zoomed in more the more detail you could get from the color. I could have added more detail, mine was by no means perfect. I could have added more detail and evened the colors out a bit more. I had fun doing the project though. With playing with the program and all the colors.

3. My least favorite project was pop art. Which is odd I know, because it was actually the most diverse project we had actually. We had all the control on what was in it and how it looked, everything. I didn't like it as much because it was done in photoshop. Photoshop is my least favorite program. All the tools confuse me, and then I get overwhelmed when multiple layers get involved. I could have done SO much better on my pop art then I actually did. I got frustrated and confused and a huge part of me just gave up, sad to say. The weird part about me disliking photo shop so much is that its the program I'm really focusing on for my final exam project. It's the best program to use for what I wanna do, I know my project won't be spectacular. I'm going to try my best though.

Didn't finish my lizard, but I think I did a pretty good job with as much as I could get done.

Experimental Painting!

Experimental Painting Inspiration

I chose a piece by Julien Seth, also known as Seth Globe-painter. This piece of art work inspired me and also I feel like it tells a story. I feel a connection with this piece of art work because, you can see the little girl seems very lonely, like she's off in her own little world. She seems to keep company by the thing's she enjoys, maybe such as fish. I connect to it because when I was little I was alone, I maybe had one really good friend. Other then that I was pretty alone, I kept myself entertained by the stuff I enjoyed. I just love his aft work in general, but this one right here is my favorite. The colors really pop, especially with the no color umbrellas under her.

Logo Spoof

I did McDonald's as my logo spoof. McDonald's sponsored the olympics which is ironic because, it is the most unhealthiest food you can put into your body. So I used that as my spoof. I also used it because McDonald's claims to have "healthy" things on their menu, when in reality nothing on that menu is healthy.

CopyCat?

1. What is the value of tracing images?

I think the value of tracing images is to trace it and eventually, make it your own. Making it your own piece of art work. All the technology we can use now t trace things and trace them a certain way, should also be valued.

2. I think it's okay to copy something when you have permission from wherever or whoever your copying from. I also believe it's alright to copy like I said in the previous question, if you make what you copied your own somehow.

3. You can get in a lot of trouble if you copy something thats copy righted without permission. If you use anyones work, art, ect. without permission. You can also get in trouble if you try and say someone else's work is your own.

In this class we've copied and pasted things. However, most of our images come off of google where they are open and free for us to use. We also copy and paste things, and we have made them our own. We have transformed the images we used.
