Macro Photo Shoot

-
This assignment was a lot more fun than I expected it to be! I grabbed a couple of models (a binder clip, bell pepper, apple, sea urchin shell, and whisk) and took them outside to my backyard to take pictures of them with the Macro setting. The camera I used wasn't the best quality (so the photos aren't as sharp as I wanted them to be) but I think the use of the Macro setting really puts the focus on the 'models'. 

Binder clips make the best models ever! They never move and always look beautiful! XD

A nice headshot of this beautiful shiny apple!

Wow.... this platter sure appears in a lot of photos....
Eggo whisk!

Cartoon Yourself Assignment

-

For this assignment, I had to trace over a photo of myself and make it look like a cartoon. After I finished tracing and coloring myself, I did the background. The sky is a pink and yellow gradient, and the hills, clouds, and bars (or are they columns???) are painted and blended. The vines and flowers growing on the bars/columns are clipart from the internet. I really enjoyed this project as it was fun and easy, and I was able to be more creative with it than other projects with stricter guidelines.

Disproportionate Photo

This was such a fun project! I got to use my imagination to think of a cool-looking scene. I was determined to have tiny people in it, and originally I wanted to do people in the grass with bugs looming over them, but I couldn't find a picture of grass with the right perspective. So.... here is the next best thing I could think of. It was pretty simple to add people into the photo of a fish tank, and then I added the pencil for a better size reference. If you look really closely, you can see a kitten staring longingly at the tank.

Picasso-esque Cubist Portrait

-
Image
For this project, I had to create a cubist portrait using multiple perspectives. It took quite a while to finish, because I had to find photos with the perspective I needed and I had to position them correctly. The squares in the background were inspired by Piet Mondrian's paintings, because for some reason they remind me of cubism (perhaps because they are squares).
