Photography Unit

Personality Picture Frame

Personality Frame: 
For this project, we're supposed to go around the school and find a place to make a pose with a picture frame. After, we would use photoshop to put something in the frame or the space around it to represent our personalities. I was kind of at of at a loss of what it would like, so I just found a bunch of vibrant colors, because I like to think I'm a happy and exuberant person...when I've had enough caffeine/sleep and am in a good mood. I turned the background black and white because school, and everything it represents doesn't deserve any color. 




Newinimal: "Bearilla"
Newinimal:
For this photoshop project, we had to take our animal from the biology animal/zoo project (our group had the gorilla) and combine it with another animal, and I chose a black bear. I named this hybrid creature: the Bearilla. It was a little difficult to figure out what to do at first, but the project wasn't too hard once you got into it. 


Light Painting 

Light Painting: 
For one day, we put paper over the windows and set up in groups where we'd set the exposure really long on the cameras to capture the drawings we had either created with pen lights, lasers, or glow sticks (and even Kara's tweezer lights). It was a really fun day and we had a Rave!

Illustration Unit

"Colorful Night" painting
For our final project as part of the illustration unit, we chose a few pictures to compile together to create an original painting. At first, my initial plan was to draw silhouettes standing on the mountains, but the perspective would've been off, so I scratched that plan. I used kind of small strokes on my painting as opposed to the long horizontal strokes, hoping it would help with the blending I hoped to achieve, and it ended up looking pretty cool. For the stars, I used white spray paint, and it turned out better than I would've hoped. I messed up one of the starts...but shhhhh, it's the north star now :).
