Independent Project

We have been working on our own independent projects. We had to have themes. My theme was amazing nature. We used different mediums. Mediums are different art supplies like using pain, crayons, marker, oil pastels, etc. I used carving blocks, water paint, crayon, and oil pastels. I will upload pictures of it when I finish. It's a really fun project.

Forced perspective

We took pictures that looked like they were real but the perspective that the pictures show make it look that way. That is forced perspective. Here is an example. It look like I have a giant hand and am holding that person. I took this picture. One hand was holding the camera while the other is in the picture as you can see. It was a fun project.

Minatures

This is a picture of my car. It's actually a toy. We were trying to make toys look like real life size objects. I picked this car and put it on a railing. Then I went up close and took the picture to make it look real and life like. There are many other examples on google.

Bubbles!

This is a picture I took of a bubble. I had to run to keep up with this bubble. The point of taking the bubble pictures was to see the reflections they could capture. It was fun doing this. If you look closely you can kind of see my reflcetion and the skys reflction. It's hard to see.

Mosaic

We have been working on mosaics in class. A mosaic is a picture made up of smaller pictures. Here is an example.
See the pac-man ghost is made up of smaller pictures. All the pictures put together make the ghost. This is a fairly simple one. You can make it as complicated as you want. It doesn't only have to be pictures either. You can also use tiles for your mosaic. In the process of making a mosaic with pictures you will usually need copies of certain colors. Mosaics are cool works of art.

Portraits

   Last week and this week we worked on portaits. My photos turned out ok. Here's a picture I took of my friend Wendy. It turned out really good. We were using the rule of thirds and light to enhance our photos. We tried to get the light to look good and make the photo better.
Here is a photo my friend Nick took of me standing next to a tree. This one turned out well too. I really liked this project it was really fun.
