PhotoShop HOLLLLURRRR

This is what I created during my Art I class period. After being in the computer lab for the past 2 days working a little bit with PhotoShop, Mr.Sands told us to create a "and-guess-what-happens-next" image using the tools we learned in class. The hardest part of this project was actually thinking about what I wanted my image to be. It took me a while to decide on this one. I try to incorporate my love for babies into my artwork whenever possible so I thought now would be a great time to. This is Gerald (the baby) and his father (Mitch) taking a nice stroll through the neighborhood; however, what they don't know is that a giant tornado is just seconds away. WATCH OUT BABY GERALD!

frog tongue

For the past couple of days my Art I class has been in the computer lab working a little with PhotoShop. I have never, ever used photoshop before so I thought this was really fun and a nice thing to learn how to do. I also think it will come in handy for when I want to learn to edit more photographs. For this particular image, I thought it came out pretty good. I think if the frog was a little bit bigger on the tongue it would look more realistic but overall definitely not awful. Hopefully I can use photoshop more, and not just in Art I class. Got frog tongues?

CLAY! CLAY! CLAY! CLAY!

I freaking loved this project. At the moment, mine is still waiting to be glazed, but I can't wait to see the final product. There will definitely be pics up, don't you worry. I like working with my hands and I think that's why this has been one of my favorites. I was a little unsure about how to design my bowl because I really wanted it to look different than anyone else's. So i decided to use a hugeeee strip of clay and cut out a zig-zag design from it to put around my bowl. I thought it gave it a sort of "tribal" look to it so I decided to continue with that. I put in various patterns consisting of lines and dots and even added little rolled up balls of clay.On the inside of my bowl I used a radial design alternating between the regular clay color and the red clay. I'm excited to see the finished, shiny bowl. keep ya updated dawg.

pastels

Working with the pastels was really fun, I just wish I was good at using them haha. I didn't really like this project because it's hard for me to look at a still scenery and then try to draw it using the right colors to show the highlights and lowlights. Some of the other pastel pictures came out really pretty, so totes for them. Overall, i was not a fan. Sowwy.
