The Aesthetic Expierience

In class we did a project that was called the Aesthetic Expierence. It definitely was an expierience that made me think about things. During my Expierience, i felt an overwhelming sense of the corrupt things about this world that most people are used to or can't see anymore. Things that destroy or hurt people are a way of life now days. The world is a beautiful place full of life and glorious things. My expierience made me aware and realize the dirty and bad things in this world, that simply should be. I felt a care for the world we live in and wish that i could some how protect it so everyone could live happily ever after.

Hybrid

In preparation for our PERSONAL METAPHOR project we brushed up our skills combining objects together. Using layer masks and the clone stamp we blended this dog and bird together.

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.

Program Covers

We had to create two covers. One for Graduation and another for the Student Handbook.

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.

Balance and Frames

In this project, we were given a frame. We had to use this in our photo and create composition. The first photo was taken in an asymetrical form. The second photo has no balance. The last photo was also asmetrical also. I had a lot of fun with these photo's and really enjoyed the turn out.

Random Object

We were each assigned a random object to photograph. We could choose to have it in color or black & white. We were to focus on "The Three C's".

This is a picture of my random object. My object was the lamp without bulbs. It was hard for me to figure out exactly what I wanted to do with it. I finally decided to put the umbrella over it to create something new. The picture could have had better lighting and a different background.

Egg Challenge

In this project each student was given an egg to photograph. We were to take a photo in both color and black-and-white. We were supposed to exemplify one or more of the following: Creativity, Craftsmanship or Composition.

I believe my black and white photo was the most successful because it all three of he elements the best. I love the way the black and white shows contrast between the background,light and egg. I also enjoy the angle.

I think my color egg picture, could have been alot better. I am not as pleased with this one as I am with my black and white egg. The lighting against the glass shows a pretty color but the egg could have had better lighting.

My favorite project from Last Semester

This is the piece I finished for last semesters final. I enjoyed this piece the most because I feel it represents me. The emphasis is on me, and the bright colors.
