Final Project

This final project is about awareness to the ribbons. The first ribbon is awareness for AIDS, The middle photo is the purple ribbon for domestic violence. Then the third picture is for breast cancer.  These subjects like AIDS, Cancer, and domestic violence can be hidden from the world. Just like tattoos and the naked body. We cover things up everyday to project the image we want people to see.

CD

Left: Inside cover        Right: Front Cover

Back of CD

In this assignment we were able to create a CD. I decided to make my CD around the idea of my senior portfolio. The first picture is my cover on the right side and the inside of the cover on the left. So when a person opens my CD they will see my contact information.  Then the bottom picture is the very back of the CD. Then on the back of my CD is a list of my work. 

Painting with CS5 and Master Study

This photo was taken by me in Asheville, NC in the summer of 2010.

Our assignment was to take one of our original photos and make it in to a painting using Photoshop CS5.

This painting is Expectation by Gustav Klimt. This assignment was to recreate a master study by taken one of their paintings and placing our face into the piece of work.

The final result of the master study assignment.

The Babysitter

This picture is about a girl that was wondering around in the cage of a baby panther. She then finds herself underneath his spotlight. Will she make it out alive or does she find herself a new pet?

Surrealism Art Review

Traditional Surrealist: Joan Miro
"The Garden"

Joan was a Spanish painter and was the creator of the most original surrealist painting in the 20th century. Miro cited the vibrant colors of the Fauves, cubism, Catalan folk art and Romanesque frescoes of the Spain as his influences.


In terms of the title with the and the actually painting. A person is able to get the understanding the garden that is in front of them. This painting was made by oil on canvas. I personally like all the colors that are used within the painting. Your eyes are attached to the different parts of the painting and the viewer is able to follow it really nicely. I think the meaning of the this painting is, everything doesn't have to be normal. Take the ordinary and make it the unusual.

Digital Surrealist: Amrei Dizon
"Love, Lust, Scrutiny"


This is about a woman's fear to come out and accept her sexuality. She exudes gayness but she fears the many eyes that haunt her. She dreads scrutiny, but doesn't realize that the haunting eyes are just a product of her paranoia. According to the artist's statement.

I really like how the artist used both pencil/paper and digital graphics. Also I can agree with the artist statement. From first looking at the image I thought about women and their insecurities. How woman feel judged everyday if they do not look a certain way. But in the world today a woman had to come into her own and own her body.
