Final exam part 3

5 ads:

 It doesn't look like they used any photoshop at all but i like this image and campaign because it speaks out to people not to speed and take your time on the road or it will come back and haunt you, like putting you in the hospital or killing an innocent person. 

In this you can see that they took a photo of a women and man driving but distracted by objects around them and hit a child. They put a picture of baby in the mirror because it shows you that you wouldn't want that to happen to your kid, which made this add 10x better.
Photoshop used was zoomed on the clock and put an animal being smushed by it, because every minute an animal dies. I like this because i hate seeing animals, mammals, etc. being hurt and this is a really powerful picture that most people will scroll past and not care for, but it stood out to me! 
 They sketched out a picture of a lady and erased the background then but it on a clear background, and did the same thing with a real last but most likely shrunk her body down to just bones. This spoke to me because i use to think being skinny like that was the best but after see in how women like that are its disgusting. Stopping anorexia is a great campaign. 
In this photo they used photoshop by adding their slogan and taking the google search bar and putting it over the lady's mouth making sure nun of the background still showed. This is a good campaign because its terrible to see how women to this day get treated like were not equals to men, like we have no say in anything which is terrible. One day it should all just stop. 

 part 2:artsist compare and contrast 
Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, David Meanix, Daniele Guido and JR have some similar yet different art works they do. Lichtenstein is like a cartoon artist with dots on his work. Warhol does more pop-art with bright colors. Meanix uses any colors and rips pictures apart and puts them back together but leaving the white torn areas to show. Guido uses hands to tell the story, like a fish swimming, a snake slithering in grass, all just by painting hands. Finally JR does photographs portraits of people to get there story across by letting them pose or add a caption that they wants. They are all the same well because they are artist and they all do more modern type of art work that are still popular today. 

 part 3: My favorites 
I learned a lot about every type of art in this class. I usually don't take an art class because i think its all drawing but this year I learned there is more to art then drawing. I loved learning about new types of projects, painting, drawing, and photoshop ( even though I sucked at first). My favorite digital project was cropping myself into pictures of things. Like I put myself in with Duck Dynasty and a photo of people kissing or a family in the park. It was fun learning how to do all that with just a few simple tools. My favorite studio project had to be making the dress with Mikey and Marissa. Adding color and making it frilly. All out of newspaper, scissors, table, stables, and paints!  This year was the best and I'm definitely taking an art again!

Scratchboard

Scracthboard cardboard with a blackened surface that can be scratched or scrapped off for making white line drawing.

Sgraffito is a form of decoration made by scratching through a surface to reveal a lower layer of contrasting color.



These two techniques are similar because they both involve scratching a surface to make color of it.

selfie-surreal self portraits

 I like this picture because  its artsy of a guy reading in a jar, it stands out over all. 

 This girl looks like she is pulling the clouds with her, she looks free.

 I like that she is blurry in the back and the stars blowing off are the main subject. 

 Its all dark on the outside of the pepper then once the girl is walking out of it, its all bright and sunny like a new world. 

 I like the color of her eye makeup and the feather perfectly inline with the makeup. 

5 tips to help with the picture taking!
1: Have props to bring the photo more alive.
2: you don't have to be happy, you can show fear, tears, or anger
3: have different lighting on different selfies 
4: try to include things that describe you or your hobbies in it
5: you can include some people in your pictures to make it look well
