My Silhouette


There are so many things going on in my head, I should have done a thunder storm (a brain storm). I worked very hard on this project and learned a lot of things in CS5.5. I really enjoyed this process because it was so personal, I learned a lot about myself, and what my friends and family think about me. I really needed the practice in Ai and hope to get much more. There are so many more ideas I have I think I will continue this concept on my own outside of class.

Adornment Hybrid

Art 238 (photo visual concepts) Project 1 Hybrid: take a photograph and physically manipulate it in such a way that the artist makes a critique on contemporary society. What a fun project to use photography and painting to show the way in which women in other cultures around the world adorn themselves.
