Photogram Reflection

1. For the fundraiser, I photo-shopped two pictures. Which included basically cutting and pasting our subjects onto a background they picked.
2. I feel the most successful thing was finishing all of the pictures on time, and to the best of our ability, seeing as photo-shop can be difficult.
3. Well improvements we could make for next time is definitely not doing it last minute. Also when editing the pictures, we should be assigned the pictures and how many, it would be more organized that way. Cooler backgrounds could also be an improvement for next time, and maybe a better location for taking the pictures, where the backdrop reaches all the way to the floor.
4. If we did another photogram fundraiser it should be for spring break, beach themes and beach props. If not then, an end of the year fundraiser, it would be cool for the seniors to get pictures of their last year. Not sure what that theme could be, something fun, not necessarily a season or holiday theme.
5. I think I could definitely improve my photo-shop skills, by practicing. I didn't really learn about any new tools, but the eraser tool to erase little white spots like in between curls in the hair and stuff like that. I'm glad that the clients were impressed, and I hope we can do even better next time and have even more clients.

Project 3: Composition


Artist Statement: I took this group of pictures on my vacation in hawaii. They were all taken at different beaches, except the picture of the bird was taken at my favorite shave ice shop on the island. I have done job as an artist if my viewers feel relaxed and warm, i feel the colors and the fact the beaches are empty would send the viewer into a tranquil state just looking at these and thinking about it. In the first picture i focused on balance and line, you start by looking at my little sister then the line the water creates on the sand draws you back into the mountain, the mountain brings balance to my little sister. The third picture does the same, the rocks lead you into the background and it is also balanced. Pictures  four and five I focused on framing and depth. Picture two I framed and cropped the bird in the photo because the background was taking away.
