Final Exam

The strongest technical aspect of my work would be the color value. I believe that the colors went really well with each other. The weakest part of my assignment would be not getting all the objectives done like the opacity change.
Something that was easy about this activity was choosing colors that went with each other. Something that was hard about this assignment was having everything be radially symmetric.
I demonstrated the objective of this assignment by doing everything it asked except for the opacity change. If i could do this activity again I would have started earlier, so I would have had more time to do this.

Polygon Assignment

The strongest technical aspect of my work is form. The polygons came out nice, but the color scheme could be better since the browns are very similar it makes the picture hard to look at.
Something that was easy about this assignment was blurring the triangles. Something that was difficult was finding the different colors since the brown was so similar it was hard to use different values. If I could do this again, I would change the color scheme.

painting assignment

The strongest technical aspect of my work would be the form. I believe that the picture went really well with the american flag. I could have improved the shade, and the coloring since I wasn't done.
Using the polygon tool was very easy, since we've gotten a lot of work with it. Something that was difficult was getting it done in an orderly fashion/
I demonstrated the objective of this assignment by using the polygon tool to fill in the colors. If I could do this activity again I would have picked a picture that had less details.

Pop Art

The strongest technical aspect of my work is the texture. I felt that the texture looks really good on his sweater and his hair. A technical aspect of my work that could be improved would have to be the color. I don't think that his skin color looks well with the background I choose.

Something that was easy about this activity was picking a person for the background. The person I choose was Kendrick Lamar, and I felt that he was posed really well for this project. Something that was really difficult in this activity was doing the clipping path for each thing you colored in.

I demonstrated the objective of this activity by using the clipping path when coloring in my person. If I could do this activity again I would probably have picked different colors that popped out more.

Hybrid Animal

The strongest technical aspect of my work is the texture. I used the clone stamp to blend in the Guinea pig and the lion. A technical aspect of my work which can be improved would be the form. The Guinea pigs head does look a bit out of place.

Something that was easy about this activity would have to be picking the background. Since this project was about animals your background had to be something relating the wild. Something that was very difficult in this project was blending the two animals together making them look like one.

I demonstrated the objective in this piece by using the clone stamp to blend the two animals. If I could do this activity again I would choose two different animals.

Shape project

The strongest technical aspect of my work would have to be the color, and shape. The colors really go well with one another in this piece. Also the the different kinds of circles, squares, and rectangles gave it a unique feel instead of it just being squares and circles. A technical aspect that could be improved in this piece would be the space. There were some empty spaces that I couldn't fill because I had to keep the integrity of radial symmetry.

Something that was easy about this project would have to be picking the colors. I find it easy finding colors that match well with the blue corners. Something that was really difficult in this project was getting started. It took me a while to get the wheels rolling, but once I did, finding shapes that went along was easy. Also getting all the folders, and the layers into the folders was really tedious.

I demonstrated radial symmetry using the rectangular and elliptical marquee too, and placing those shapes in a place that was symmetric. If I could do this activity again, I wouldn't do anything differently to be honest. I was really pleased on how this piece came out.

The strongest technical aspect of my work would have to be the space. I felt that I used my space very well, and left very few negative spaces. A technical aspect of my work that could be improved would have to be the gradation between the background and the foreground. I could have blended the background a lot better than what it was.

The easiest part of this activity was finding my person, which was Jay-Z. I had many people in mind for this project, but I really liked the color way that went with him. The golden champagne bottle went really well with his black suit. Something that was really difficult in this activity was getting the polaroids in. I had trouble finding a spot for the polaroids, and I had trouble making Jay-Z show through the polaroids.

I demonstrated the objective in this activity by using the polygon tool in cutting the polaroids allowing parts of Jay-Z and the champagne bottle to poke through them. If I could do this activity again I would have improved the background, and made it fit better with the foreground.
