3rd Marking Period: Shoes

My idea for this project stemmed from my love of shoes. I have a lot of shoes, of all different kinds and I think the shoes you wear can express a lot about a person. Shoes are also what allow us to walk around the world. I wanted to continue to incorporate colors into this project to continue my concentration.

This is the general image that I want to create. I love the colors and the focus used in this piece.

I chose a warm day and set up a a basket of shoes in my driveway because I thought the cracked asphalt would provide an interesting, textured background for my pieces. 

I had to edit these shots a lot because the sun made my legs really white and overexposed and I bumped up the colors of the shoes to place emphasis on my concentration.

Finals:

I have mixed feelings about the final pieces for this project mostly because it was really difficult to change the colors without making them look really fake. I definitely want to try this again, maybe with less sunlight and a different background. I also would like to try taking pictures with different perspectives of shoes instead of each image being pretty much the same. This project still fits in well with my concentration, so I plan on using a few of these pieces in the art show. 

3rd Marking Period: Experimenting with Overlay and Color

I really liked the work that we did for double exposures in advance last year so I wanted to try that again. I got a lot of inspiration from Matt Wisniewski's work along with other that I found on the internet. In some double exposures, colors tend to be lost due to the different overlays, so I wanted to try to keep as much color as I could from the individual pieces.

Both of these pieces kept a lot of color and are really eye-catching, which is what I want to try for in my piece.

I only used two pictures overall because I only wanted to make one final piece.

I loved this piece. I think it is very mysterious but also pleasing to the eye. This is something that I definitely want to do again. It also relates to my concentration because the varying colors.

Spare Time

Portrait of a Man or Woman

I believe that old pictures of a person help tell their life story and the portraits show growth in one's life.
