My Inspiratio

CRAFT: I made this picture using the Illustrator prgram. To create this picture, I tracedthe original pictu

to give it that cartoon effect. I used the pen tool to dra

the different shapes in the picture. i then used the eye

dropper tool to take the color of that specic spot.

CONCEPT: This is a picture of me and my sonAaron. I made this for the assignment of Tracing. We w

challenged to create the original picture my tracing man

of the different shapes that made up the complete pictur

This is my nal piece for the project. When I had nish

this piece I decided to title it A Mothers Inspiration. I

titled it this way because my son is a huge part of my li

now and if it wasnt for him I wouldnt be where I am

today. Everything I do is for me and him.

COMPOSITION: I am trying to control theviewers eye by having them being able to see the fore-

ground rst, which is my face. The second part I would

like the viewer to see is the middle ground, which is my

ons face. The last thing they will see is the backgroundobviously. When the viewer sees this piece they are mo

likely going to think that he is my brother. the last thing

that they will think is that he is my son. I want them to g

into a deeper thought after they read what my title is. th

they will understand.

Step One

The rst thing that I did was choose a photo that was

taken of me and used it as my background. I then made a

copy layer to work on

Step Two

The second thing that I did was made a layer mask

and selected the background of the actual picture and

painted leaves as the new background.

Final

The last thing that I did was add a lter to my

face. the lters that I used were called smudge

stick and photocopy

The Eyes of The TigerTake a Look

CRAFT:I made thispicture using the Photoshop

program. To make this pic-

ture, I chose two different

pictures.

CONCEPT: . I madethis for the assignment of

Collaging. We were chal-

lenged to create a collage

using atleast two pictures

and put them together in a

unique way. When I had n-

ished this piece I decided to

title it The Eyes of the Tiger.

I titled it this way because

of they way the picture has

you focus on only the eyes

of the tiger.

COMPOSITION:I am trying to control the

viewers eye by having

them being able to see the

foreground rst, which is

the tree.The last thing they

will see is the background,

which is the tiger. When the

viewer sees this piece I want

them to think about what it

really means.

Step One

Step Two

Step Three

The rst thing I did was choose a back-

ground out of other images given to me.

I then made a background copy layer to

work on.

The second thing that I did was

choose another photo, which is of a

tigers eyes, and changed the opacity

of the image a little.

The third thing that I did was change

the hue and saturation on the image to

give it a totally different look.

Final

Step Four

The fourth thing that I had done was add a tree into th

middle of the picture. I added the tree to give it a in

wild feel.

The nal thing that i did was change the ohue and satur

tion again so that the tree would sort of blend in with ey

of the tiger.

FierceElegance

CRAFT:I made this picture using the Photoshop program. To createthis picture, I chose four pictures to create a collage. I wanted to create

something that would grab the views eye right away. I used different

adjusment layers to create this stormy effect.

CONCEPT: I made this for the assignment of Collaging. We werechallenged to create a collage using 4 or more different pictures. This is

my nal piece for the project. When I had nished this piece I decided to

title it Fierce Elegance. I titled it this way because many poeple think of

butteries as being elegant and peaceful. When I look at this piece it is

erce because of the added lightening to make it seem as if the buttery

was caught in the storm.

COMPOSITION:I am trying to control the viewers eye byhaving them being able to see the foreground rst, which is the butter -

y. The second part I would like the viewer to see is the middle ground,

whch is the lightening and the moon.. The last thing they will see is the

background, obviously. When the viewer sees this picture, I want them to

see that there is always some beauty inside of a storm. I want them to go

into a deeper thought after they read what my title is.

The Second Step I took was chose a

second picture, in this case the buttery,

and I placed in right in the middle of

the page so it would be the center of

attention.

The First Step I did was choose a

brackground that I wanted to work with

and made a background copy layer to

work on.

The third step i did was took a

picture of lightening and put the

layer that it was on behind the

buttery layer.

STEP ONE

STEP TWO

STEP THREE

The Fourth Step was to take the picture of

the moon and place it in the top left corner,

behind the buttery and lightening layers. To

make the moon appear a little transparent I

changed each color mode. One color mode

was liner burn and the other was multiply.

The Fifth Step was to make everything behind

the buttery black and white. in order to do this,

I made a black and white adjustment layer and

apllied it to eveything under the buttery.

The last and nal step was to apply a hue/

saturation adjustment layer. This adjustment

layer allowed me to change the color of the

buttery.

Step One:

The rst thing I did was startwith this self portrait of

elisabeth louise vigee lebrun. In photoshop, I made a

background copy layer. the objective of this assignment

was to place my face into the current picture.

Step Two:

The secound thing that I did was made a layer mask on

her face in the background copy layer. After doing so, I

placed my face where her face once was.

Step Three:

The third thing I did was add a pattern ll to the laye

mask. I did this in oreder to blend my face with the

actual pattern of the original picture.

Final:

The nal step that I did was added a color balance to

brighten my face a little bit. Changing the curves al-

lowed me to change the color even more to t the actual

color of the picture.

AbtractionI Wonder What This Is

CRAFT: I made this picture using a wacom tablet and thepen that goes along with it. I created this painting using the Coral

Painter program.

CONCEPT: This is a picture of abtraction. I made this forthe assignment of painting. We were challenged to create a paint-

ing from just a white sheet of paper.

COMPOSITION: I am trying to control the viewers eyeby having them being able to see the center of the painting rst

WineGlass

CRAFT: I made this picture using the Illustrator program. To create thispicture, I use a Wacom Tablet and the pen to go along with it. to create this

picture, I used 100 strokes of line to create the look of a wine glass.

CONCEPT: I made this for the assignment of 100 strokes of line.We were challenged to create a picture using only 100 strokes.

COMPOSITION:I am trying to control the viewers eye by hav-ing them look at the bottom of the wine glass rst and then begin to make

their way up to the top of it. By looking at this piece the viewer will not

know what it is at rst but as you study the pictures and the title to go along

with it you will then begin to understand what it is. Even though it is only a

100 stroke drawing there is much more to this piece then meets the eye. By

examining this picture you wont be able to tell that it was drawn intention-

ally to be only 100 strokes of line.

CRAFT: I made this using my hand to create 100 strokes of line tocreate the effect of it being a water bottle. The tools I used to create this

piece was a wacom tablet and the pen to go along with it.

CONCEPT: This image is a drawing of a water bottle. I made thisfor an assignment that challenged us to create an image, from still life,

using only 100 strokes. When I nished drawing this I decided to title

this piece Lines of Water. I came up with this name, not to give the literal

meaning that it is a water bottle, but to get the view thinking of reasons

why I named it this. I gave it this title because the piece is mad of line so

i wanted to incorporate the word line into the title.

COMPOSITION:I am trying to control the viewers eye byhaving them look at the bottom of the water bottle rst and then begin

to make their way up to the top of it. By looking at this piece the viewer

will not know what it is at rst but as you study the pictures and the title

to go along with it you will then begin to understand what it is. Even

though it is only a 110 stroke drawing there is much more to this piece

then meets the eye. By examining this picture you wont be able to tell

that it was drawn intentionally to be only 100 strokes of line.
