Posters

I made two posters and I am still struggling. I was looking at both of my images and I realized that I liked using vertical elements in each piece.

Collage

So this whole digital thing is a lot of fun, but I am struggling with concepts and ideas. I am having a difficult time putting images together from the web. I am used to using images from magazines, but the Internet has endless possibilities. For one of my collage projects I took a theme of lost and lonely children. If children are our future then how can we expect them to be strong and independent if they don't have a good foundation to start on. They need to be showed that they are loved and appreciated. We need to let them know that they have a future.

The letter "o"

Still trying to figure out photoshop. Still need more practice.

Sisters

My sister and I are your typical siblings. Growing up together we fought over stupid things like the remote control and who barrowed whose clothing. Today she is my best friend. She is someone I look up to and care for very much. I love to paint and when I needed a topic for an art show, I knew what it was going to be. Sisters. This is just one of the many watercolor paintings I did of us, but this is my favorite. This was the first time I used a toothbrush in order to create wood grains. My mom loves every piece and owns a majority of this show (of course she probably was the one who took the photographs).

The letter "e"

This is my first attempt at photoshop and I think I could have done better, but there is always next time. This is for my DMF class where we had to take a letter and make a composition out of it. I, of course, used the letter e because I am a little biased to that letter. There will be more to come.

Serenity

I was surfing the Internet today and I came across this image and immediately I wanted to be there. It might have been the serenity of the picture that was enticing, I'm not sure. My initial thought was of adventure. For me, I wanted to be there and get lost in an adventure. Maybe it wasn't the adventure that excited me, but the thought of peace. The sound of nature in my ear and not the loud neighbor next door. A place to just be.

New Sight

Everyday I walk by this window to get to my room. The window is huge and has an amazing view. The only thing is I never look out the window because I am so taken by the sunlight coming in. The last couple of days my classes have been taking about space. Not as in outer space, but as in negative space. These windows create interesting shapes that are known as negative space. I want to stand there and look at all the forms it creates, but I'm sure I would get weird stares by people passing by. So instead I took a picture. When a person starts looking at the world through negative space they can see it in a whole new way.
