light metering




In the photo to my left i focused on the computer and that is what its mainly focused in. On the one to my right i focused on my partner and the camera made the whole picture brighter because it was focused on the person. This is important for when u want a good picture of one particular thing.

Personal Metaphor



My personal metaphor simply describes how i look like a simple girl on the outside, and once you get to know me u notice that I'm very difficult. Just like a rubricks cube. I included one picture of me so it can go on the surface of the full rubricks cube, i also took a broken rubricks cube from the Internet and cut my face into pieces so i can place them on the little cubes. I believe my metaphor has somewhat craftsmanship i really like it. What i could of done better is the lightning and my placement of words.

The Aesthetic Experience


Watching the clear cup of water at the beginning gave me no feeling. When I started concentrating on it, gave me a lonely feeling. It gave the feeling of nothing around but at the same time a feeling of peace. Once the green was dropped in, the feeling was different as if some one came in to the waters life and changed it all in to a different water. The green was taking over the water but then red comes in to the waters life and as well starts taking over. When u think everything is going to be over, the blue comes and also starts taking over. In your life there is people that come and go, some do somewhat change and some have big impacts. The cup of water showed how when the colors were dropped in it changed it into different other colors. To me it showed that the people that come in your life might change you for the better or the worst.

Shadows & Reflections




In this exersises we learned how to create shadows and reflections to help us create more realistic artwork. A new tool we learned was layer mask. the things we learned can help us in the future by making future art look more real and by helping us get better grades in out photo class. Also it just may come in handy one day.

Program Covers




The covers i created were the graduation announcement and the academic letter. These were very fun to work with because I'm a senior and its fun to be a part of the design of our own stuff.

Aged Photo


In this photo we used one of our framed photographs to practice using Photoshop to create specific effects.

Balance with frames




We were given a frame and told we had to be in our compossition, it had to be in black and white and it had to have balance. I created balance by trying to fit my whole self into the frame.

Random Object


We were each assigned a random object to photograph we could choose it to have it in color of black & white. We were to focus on "The Three C's"

According to my peers, the only thing i did well was how the object was set up and the lighting. One thing they suggested i worked on was keeping the camera still when I'm taking the picture. I agree with what my peers said because once you look at the picture both opinions are obvious.

egg challenge








In this project each student was given an egg to photograph. We were to take a photo in both color and black-and-white. We were supposed to exemplify one or more of the following: Creativity, Craftsmanship or Composition. I believe my color egg was the most successful because it was well taken also my black and white came out unfocused, making it easier for me to pick the color one.

my favorite project from last semester


This picture was my portfolios cover page, we had to have a picture of ourselves and add a quote that represents us. It is my favorite because of how its all about me in the picture,the way is set up, and the colors.
