Warhol- Kara

I like how the Warhol project turned out, the four photos are warm cool complementary and choice colors. I had a good amount of trouble with selecting in photoshop and had to go back through with the brush tool and paint over the white spots. To do this project I selected each thing and used the color fill to fill each thing with color. You can see on the complementary photo (orange background) that the selection was not in the right place and the colors are overlapping. In this photo I still used the rule of thirds, and also used contrasting colors.

Jackie Adamle Studio 1 BOKEH

For this project you just shoot light and make it out of focus. I didnt get really creative with it so my bad. With almost all of my photos I made double negatives. I didnt really pay attention to the rule of thirds. With the picture with the ornament I used a very short depth of field. With some of the pictures I adjusted the brightness and contrast.

(Absent) Warhol!

So, I...strongly disliked...this project.  It was kind of frustrating because there were a lot of steps included. I found the notes hard to follow and since I missed the demo, I was a little confused.  Anywho the first thing I did was increase the brightness/contrast so that the main features were more prominent.  I also adjusted the shadows and highlights.  I made different layers with different selections in each by using the quick selection tool.

Non-traditional new idea (Nina Antonik)

So blogger wouldn't let me post for a couple days.
I already talked to you (Gingerich) about this is what we decided:

I'll take a picture of someone reading a book (example: Little Red Riding Hood) and I'll take a picture/recreation of the scene in the background. Only, when I print these, I'll physically cut the book out and put the real book in it's spot so that you can turn the pages and see the scene in the background (example: wolf and grandma).



Only instead of just what's above, I'll have the picture of the book also, with it cut out.

Caitlyn Van Peenen Studio 1 Bookeh

For my Bookeh project I shot with a very short Depth of Feild. To make my pictures more interesting I cropped them and to add to the composition I made them "Double negs" I layered the pictures and then lowered the opacity on the top layer.

thats imposible!

This firts series of three was taken in downtown alexandra. i used a tripod and a bulb setting to capture a trafic light between green and red, for a signal to look like this is, well, imposible!

This picture captures all the people who are running the yellow in a blured streem of lights.

 This picture is tow seperate pgotographs overlayed to create another imposibility

These ice fishermen are fishing on herick lake, where i went for a hike with my camera, i used the masking tool to put water underneeth them, making it look like they were ice fishing on water!

Claire Trumpy Studio 1-Andy Warhol- late because I was absent

warm













cool











complementary













choice

Alright I'm just gonna be honest I was not a fan of this. I'm not really big in to editing portraits in a weird way, so the only time I would use this technique would be if I was editing landscape pictures. First I had to increase contrast and brightness to show the black in the face. When editing I had to use the quick selection tool and sometimes the lasso tool. I also had to use the threshold tool to give it that certain look. This was not my best work, but whatevvvssss

YAYYYYY!!!!

Mrs.G!!! I got that art scholarship!! YAY!!!!!! $2,500 wootwoot!!! Thanks for helping me figure out my portfolio!!! :D

Nina Antonik - Staged Vignettes

For this project, I had to do a lot of blending and patching. These dolls were a little older and well played with so I had to remove marks and stray hairs that obstructed their faces. One of the main features I edited were the eyes. I changed the hue/saturation to get the color blue I wanted but then I dodged it to make it brighter. The girl with the brown eyes, I just dodged to give her a lighter hazel but above both of the doll's eyes, I burned it slightly to contrast better with the eyes.

Kayla Bass Abstract Bokeh Studio 1

I really enjoyed shooting abstract bokeh. It was fun to be creative with the vibrant colors. In all of my photos I increased the contrast at least a little to add more emphasis to the colors. To shoot bokeh, I used my AV setting to select the lowest aperature value I had. That way, I shot short depth of field to create the effect of a focused forground and an out-of-focus background to make the lights colorful spheres. On one of the candle photos, I wanted to play around with the background lights so I used the smudge tool and distorted the shape.

Ian's Warhol

For the Warhol i ignored the rule of thirds so the focus was only on my sister's dog Chunk. The composition of these pictures are good because the use of color. I used the select tool to select the dog. Then i selected the inverse of that layer and deleted it. I then used threshold. Then I addeed layers of hues.

This project was cool and easy to get used to. I had to use background eraser tool to get a solid backdrop. I also used the threshold tool this made his face more defined. This made it easier to brush tool in the different solid colors. I then used some contrast to bring out the blacks in his shape. It was a fun project and fun/weird to experiment with.

Maddy's Warhol (sp??)

This got a bit confusing because my colors weren't coming out exactly as I chose them. I decided to switch it up a bit with my filter/ layer on my background layer a bit and made it a linear or hard light to give it a vignette effect. I like this project because of the contrast, but it is also something that I would like to continue working with until I really like it. But I also like how the composition turned out. So yeah! I enjoyed this and I like the technique!
The Order: Choice, Complementary, Cool, Warm.
(the only thing I don't like is that I kind of look like the joker in some of them.....)

Mary Sketchbook

So this is it so far...I drew out the skyline in pencil and Im planning on painting it black LAST. The big mess of bold headlines on top is the smoke.  The only thing I am having trouble with is getting the air bubbles out after I use the decoupage.  So yeah that is it!

Day 28 Tues.

Field Trip Forms...will be collected when I return.

Sketchbook

Another small project I did to show my theme of seasons, I am doing the polaroid project I originally wanted to do. I am using the wire and polaroid pictures to show the progression of tree's over the seasons. I bent the wire to say "breathe" because tree's give us oxygen for us to breathe. I also tied hemp around my wire to hold it into place.

sketchbook

you can't really tell but I have half of it done which is what you told me to do sooooooooooooo yea.

go photo.
