PAFA

Went to Pafa last week for a class trip before the break, what's happening there now is a compilation of artist's self portraits. Some seem extremely personal and seem like they require a thought bubble next to it for what the artist was thinking. In drawing, our teacher always asks us what we were thinking about when we create our self portraits which is a big determining factor for how we show ourselves.

Photos

I'm working on this project with different abstractions of photos that I have taken- here's a couple:

Landscape finished

Landscape

I had a lot of fun making this composite landscape, its actually a mix of all of my photography. I wanted to go with a city scene that was viewed from a farther out place. It's all imaginary but I had a good time creating it with an oriental theme.

CHRIS OFILI

The article we were asked to read talks about an artist that paints a portrait every day. Althought I think the idea is very inventive and innovative I couldn't do it. I can barely do anything everyday let alone paint a specific image of something.

Here's what I've got going so far for this landscape piece- its fun collaborating images together to make a whole.

Some transformations

This assignment of transformations was interesting, I couldn't figure out what to do for subject matter but I think they turned out okay 

Touching

Retouching 
Getting to know how to re-touch images is very valuable, a lot of people don't know how to do it and when you know that skill you can pass it on into other work that you want to do and even sometimes get paid. For my friends graduation party last year, his parents paid me to scan and re touch old pictures for them and then make a collage for the party. It turned out to be a huge success and taught me a lot. Now using CS5 it makes it that much easier!
