AP Art Field Trip

  • This was one of the photos I took during our AP Art Field Trip. I liked this photo because of the angle that I shot it. It looks like an ants view more than a persons view. I also liked the color that was in it when I took it. Finally, I think it would work for my concentration because of how it relates to nature.

Weekly Challenge 3


  • My weekly challenge was to create an image, copy it three times, and change the color of each. I copied the image five times to complete what I wanted to accomplish which was to create a smily face color wheel. This is not the best weekly challenge I have created but I like it because the smily faces express me really well.

Weekly Challenge 2


  • Before: Edited in Photoshop Lightroom
  • After: Edited in Coral Painter.

Description: My weekly challenge was to create a work of art without using Photoshop, I used both Photoshop Lightroom and Coral Painter. The goal I did was to make the lighting and color better (Lightroom) and then make the photo into a painting (Coral Painter). I like the Lightroom photo but I feel that the painting photo was a little grainy.

Weekly Challenge 1

  • Here is my first weekly challenge. The task was to create a cartoon about a day in my life. This cartoon features a day during my senior year.
  • What I did for this: I chose a day from last week (Friday) and included a cartoon of each main point of my day. The quotes I added are true and were added because I thought they were the most important quotes/events of my day. Finally, it reflects the crazy days I experience every day.

September AP Art Goals


  1. I want to improve my drawing skills which has been a weakness for me so far.
  2. I want to take photos with better lighting in them because I have seen a lot of photos ruined because of poor lighting.
  3. I want to try to take a better variety of photos even if they don't go into my concentration.

Sunprints


  • These were my two sunprints I worked on. The picture is my concentration photo taken in the mountains with the rainbow in the background. The first photo was the original which had problems coming out but Photoshop helped make it a little better. The second was the first photo inverted. I like how this photo came out because it added a little more detail to the photo. While this was my fourth attempt at sunprints, I feel that this one was my best out of all of them. I still had a lot of problems creating a sunprint but I tried my best.
