Restoration

Hey,

So the assignment of restoring an old photo was challenging but also intriguing. It's very detailed orientated and that's a little challenging for someone who paints as well as a kindergartner. I don't think I've ever spent as much time in photoshop on a project than I have on the restoration assignment. The motto of, "if you can't fix it, make something else," feels a little like cheating to me. Not like academic cheating but taking a shortcut because it's not an actual representation of what the picture is taken of. But I move past it because I like good grades and it's only because the cameras weren't advanced enough to gather enough information in the photo. This was fun, I'll most likely be recruited to do this with some old family photos of ours.


Here's my finished project:

Multiplicity

Hola,

This week's project on multiplicity will most likely be my favorite assignment. It's simple and not too hard to complete, it just took a little bit of patience. The clone on the right is discolored because the picture was taken with flash and a few of my photos were ruined and unusable because of the flash. I attempted to salvage the one because my project lacked depth in the middle area and was unbalanced because the entire right side was empty. Regardless of the one on the right I am still proud of the way it turned out. I pulled my inspiration from the impressionist painting "A Sunday on La Grande Jatte." Before I even checked out a camera and a tripod from the cage, I walked around campus looking for the opportune spot and the one I chose reminded me of this impressionist painting mentioned above. I had a lot of fun with this project and I'll most likely replicate it for my future Christmas cards and what not.

Form Painting

Howdy!

So the form painting project was really hard for me, mainly because the day we started this in class, halfway through, my computer decided to spazz and I lost all my work and fell behind. Then the second challenge was my artistic inability as you can see my circle in the photo on the left. But once I said to myself, "Oh well," and just drew to the best of my ability. Hope you enjoy my horrible drawings!
