iPhrase 3 images

Explain your iPhrase
          My iPhrase is iPlaySoftball. I chose this because I do play softball and it is on of my favorite sports.

Why did you choose these poses?
          I chose these poses because they are the traditional poses that you use during a game of softball.

Why did you highlight the details that you did?
          I highlighted the areas because my outfit at the time was pretty boring. The ball, glove, and bat really are needed to tell what my iPhrase was and are needed to play softball.

Any other little tidbits about the process?
          This process was difficult to do and was time consuming. Things I found to be hard were selecting small areas and also putting all the finished pictures into one canvas because they were all different sizes.

Filter Self Critique

What do you think is most successful about this piece?
          I thing the most successful part is that the filter kept his facial features but added a cool techno effect.

What do you wish you could change?
          I wish I could change is the lighting on the left side of his face. It just cuts off his face and makes it blend in with the background.

What was the most enjoyable part of this project for you?
          The most enjoyable part of this project was that there were so many different filters you could use. Also, I liked how now that we know how to use the filters, we can use it on our own pictures.

Did you find anything about this process challenging?
          The only thing I found challenging was dealing with the light in the original picture. If you tried to change anything in the picture besides the light it would distort the face.

Do you think you will use these filters in the future for anything?
          I definitely think I will use filters in the future, either on school projects or for my own personal use.

How do you feel about your digital art skills so far?
         I feel like my skills in digital art are getting a lot better than when I started this class. I have never really been an artsy person and now that I get to explore the different things I can do, my skills are getting better.

 On the first on I used Cutout and made most of the levels around the same number so you could still get his figure but make the picture smoother.

On the second one I used diffuse glow and changed the glow amount to make the picture clearer and brighter .

Pop Art Critique

I looked at Maddi's pop art. I liked the pops of color it had and it wasn't dark. I also liked how they looked almost cartoonish. Things she could have done differently are to use more variety of color because the first five pictures are around the same color. One more thing I would change would be to change the background color because some of them are the same.

This photo was very moving in that you could feel something by looking at this lady and not even seeing her whole face. I thought this photo was very powerful.

Pop Art

Pop art is art using modern media and everyday things and uses primary and secondary colors to add different contrast to photographs. Pop art was discovered by Andy Warhol in the 1960's. Pop art uses the same picture but with different effects then is placed together in a single photo.
