Movie Moments

















Inspired by Cindy Sherman, a contemporary photographer who took photo's of herself starring in movies that never existed.


Movie Title: Love Between a Boy and Girl


Genre: Romance


The movie is based in the 1950’s and 60’s. It starts off when a boy (
Christopher) meets a girl (Jessica) and they fall head over heals for each other. The characters do everything together and everything seems to be going perfect. One day Jessica finds Christopher and his ex girlfriend (Christine) at a romantic lunch together. Jessica grows furious with Christopher and refuses to talk to him. Both Christopher and Christine try to explain the incident to Jessica but she is to prideful to let either one of them close. Jessica lets two weeks go by before she gives Christopher a chance to explain himself. It turns out the romantic lunch Jessica walked in on was really a chance for Christopher to ask for advice about his proposal to Jessica. Over the years Christine and Christopher grew to be close friends and she was the only woman left in his life besides Jessica. In the end Jessica and Christopher got married and live happily ever after.


In this scene, Christopher and Jessica are at their first stage's of Love. They are having tea together. At the spur of the moment, they kiss.

Chocolate Frog



For Valentine's Day we turned frogs into chocolate. I thought this project was very fun and unique. I had a lot of fun turning the frog into chocolate. I learned how to smudge differnet colors to create a perfect blend and also how to make chocolate drip.

Shadows and Reflections




In these excercises we learned how to create shadows and reflections to help us make more realistic artwork. A new tool we learned was layer masks. The things we learned here can help me in the future by improving my photos and making them realistic.My photos won't be so fictional.

Aged Photo

In this project we used one of our frame photographs to practice using Photoshop to create specific effects.
For this photo, we used one of our balance and frame photos to make a "Aged Photo". We practiced our Photoshop skills and learned new ones to create the overall piece. I love the Aged Photo look.
