Hybrid Animal

 

I think the strongest part of my visual is combining the 2 animals together. The elephant ears was such a good idea for the koala head  because the shape fit so perfectly. I think I did an amazing job on the blending of the elephant and the koala. That is the most important part in the process because if you don’t blend and don’t use the layer mask it would look like you photo shopped. I changed the blend modes of the heads . The tools I used in this project was mainly the stamp and the layer mask. The layer mask is always so useful when you want to draw over something. It is less work than painting because you just erase whatever you don’t need. I used the stamp on the other hand because the size. I didn’t want to stretch the image out so I lowered the picture then stamped area and shaded in the color to make it look more as the surrounding. This whole activity was kind of easy to me. I don’t think there was a difficult part to this activity. If I could do this activity again I would change the animals. I would rate my effort on this a 7 because I hadn't added another animal.  

 

pop art

 

                                        The strongest part of my visual are the colors that bring a cool and calm look. I could’ve improved on making the colors by using the filter gallery and change the numbers of levels or edge simplicity and fidelity. But I also believe that the shading shows definition of the photo and emphasizes the act of the pop art. The tools I used were the crop tool to size my picture, the filter gallery to adjust the sliders and get the 3 different values of grey within the picture, the page icon to make a new blank layer and the paint brush tool to pick a color and paint. I believe the easiest part of this project was bringing in my 4 images together and making one image. The most difficult part about this project was using the magic wand tool it had kept confusing me and allowed me to merge colors that shouldn’t have been merged together. I demonstrated the goal of Andy Warhol’s project as a mixture of my own creation. If I could do this project again I would fill in the little blanks I left out. Out of a 1-10 I’ll give myself an 8 for the creative idea and the little mistakes left out for not a perfect 10.   

kaleidoscope

 

                                     The strongest part of my visual art piece is the illusions that bring an effect to the viewer’s eye. I could’ve improved on adding more colors and giving it a vibrant look. The tools I used to create my three kaleidoscope were first the rulers horizontally and vertically to line up the original image and to make them symmetrical. I also used the polygon lasso tool to erase parts of the image or select a certain thing. The easiest part of the kaleidoscope project is the creative thought, because the kaleidoscope allows you to choose from variation of ideas from Photoshop. The most difficult part of this project was trying to gather all the pieces and putting it together as making your original photo look like something it wasn’t before. If I could do this project again I would use my time more wisely and add more filters from observing my peers projects. On a scale from 1-10 and 10 being the highest I would grade my project a 7 because it wasn’t the best I’ve could’ve done a little better but I had waste a lot of my time just dosing off and getting off topic. All in all I hadn’t tried my best but it hadn’t come out as bad as I expected it to be.
