Weekly Challenge 7

• Here is my weekly challenge 7 which was using a green screen. The image shows a tourist in New York's Time Square. The background image is from Google Images.

Silk Painting

• 4.I There may be uneven levels of accomplishment among the works, but overall the work is of good breadth and quality.
• 4.E Some of the work has discernible evocative or engaging qualities, though confidence is not strongly apparent; conversely the work may display confidence but not be engaging. 
• 4.B The work demonstrates some originality, some innovative thinking, and purposeful manipulation of the elements and principles of 2-D design.

Weekly Challenge 6

• My weekly challenge was Train Photography. I tried something new by shooting a fast train while making the background blurry. The train is passing me at 60 MPH and was the only shot that was "successful" out of 5 trains. 

10/17 Concentration Series

My concentration is about nature from the smallest parts of the earth to the large sky and the moon. The series starts at small parts of nature and moves to large views of the sky and moon. I enjoy spending time outdoors and this concentration works for me because there are hundreds of possibilities I can get for the series. I plan to add another up close photo as well as my moon shot. I also may change some of the photos in the series so far.

Weekly Challenge 5

• Here is my Weekly Challenge 6 which was to creating something in Adobe Illustrator. I created a fish which I was just creating for fun and decided to expand and make it look better. Considering I have had no experience with Illustrator, I think that this design came out well.

Weekly Challenge 4

• This is my weekly challenge 4. The challenge was to select an image from the past that has never been seen before. The photo was shot in Rollins, CO at about 7:30PM with NO light. The train is the Union Pacific Denver, CO to Grand Junction, CO freight. The photo shows the train climbing the pass with the headlights guiding the way. 

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.
