Final Artist Statement

Digital photo class with ms cook became very amusing and interesting. It’s a class where everyone should get a taste of. We’ve done so many projects throughout the year that were interesting and that I never would have thought I could do. Although I struggled with some of these projects, I do believe I did my best. My favorite project we did was the quilt squares, because I had to think about my self (how I feel from the inside and out). Also I had to find out what people think about me and how I see myself in a few more years. Creativity was the number one priority when it came to the quilt squares. I put my best and deepest fears into these posts where I used symbols to express my self.
In the future I could improve on taking better pictures since the ones I took before wouldn’t turn out as high-quality. It was tough finding the right lighting for a picture and getting the right poses for the emphasis. Learning about iso, shutter speed and flash made it easier for me to take pictures. I hope to improve on taking photography; I see myself being a photographer in the future.
Since I attended this class I became more attached to art and the art that’s around me. In my opinion I believe that art surrounds everybody in their own way. Clothing, shoes, Architecture, nature and even human qualities are all made up of some type of art. I look forward to taking this class again next year

Flash

Flash is also vidal when it comes to taking decent pictures. It helps taking pictures at night when their is no light present. Not only is flashed used at night but it is also used during day time. When outside, the sun can create many shadows, flash helps taking those shadows away. It gives the picture a clear view.

Metering

A light meater is another way to bring the light into the picture and create better picture without flash. This may come in handy when taking a picture at night lights. For example if you want to take a decent picture of a city with nice lights light metering helps keep all natural colors in place. If flash is used, it could take away the nice lights that create the picture.

Surrealism

Surrealism was one of the best projects we had to do during this photo class due to the creativity and effort we had to put ito this project. The hardest part about this was thinking how to put things together so the things that were surreal had to make sense. Also the part that i had fun doing was the basketball and making myself flying out of earth and dunking a basketball into space. I also like being creative and creating things that dont make sense. Making the project out of the things we dreamed made it more interseting in creating a vivid picture. I would love to do something like this again in my spare time because it gives you another way to look at art from your own perspective.

Surreal Tutorials

The Surrealism art is a a dream like work of art that is imaginary. For the Desert background; in order to make things more vivid, i had to have a sky that blended in. I also had put a shodow on the lamp because without it would look like i just stook a pole in the middle of the picture. We streched the land out so it could seem like it goes on further. By doing these tutorials it will help us constribute our art and help us get further.

Personal Quilt

Before starting this sigificant project, some of my thoughts came from my past(where i was born and who were my friends). Most of them came from how i fell about myself and where i see myself doing later in the future. Although my inside quilt was my favortie, my future quilt was one that i struggled with. The future on was so simple due to the fact that I didn't know how my future was going to be like. My inside quilt was my favorite because I put alot of time and effort, and it is exacly 100% me. It has a basketball and a court next to me because I love to play it. Also the background is dark and cloudy because of my darkest secrets. I really enjoyed doing this project everday waking up coming to school I would always look forward in doing my quilts.
