Week 3

Artist Statement: This week I worked on creating the same images as last week but with a different theme. I tried to replicate Angela Deane's theme where she painted a ghost like figure on top of one of the main subjects in the picture. Last week the theme of my pictures was the Holocaust and this week it is a group of photos that capture the same family. Each picture had one or two family members covered by a ghost. I wanted to viewers to be able to look at my pictures and interrupt each one different and in a unique way. Overall I enjoyed creating these pictures and I am excited to make a new batch. 

Week 2

Artist statement: This week I worked on trying to replicated images that look like Angela Deane pictures. The reason I chose her images to try and re create was because of how they looked so eerie.  She took a photo with normally more than just one person it in, and draws or paints a white ghost on top of the image. I think her photos try to portray a statement or a meaning with out there being words. I chose to print out photos from the time of the Holocaust and create ghost like figures on top of these people. I used white acrylic paint and a black sharpie for their eyes. Each week I am going to change the type of pictures I used to see how the ghost change the feeling of a picture. Over all I thought this was a very fun project to start and I am excited to see where it goes.

Me Myself and I

Artist Statement: This week I worked on creating the same type of images as I did last week. I took all of these photos either around the school or on a trip. I looked through each batch of pictures and trying to deconstruct the meaning behind the each picture and understand how it could pertain to my own life or vision of myself. Over all this was a fun series to create because it allowed me to look deeper into these pictures and create unique opinion of my own pictures.

Me, Myself and I

Artist Statement: This week we worked on creating images that conveyed different adjective that describes ourself. I think this week has definitely been one of the hardest weeks because I had to either find or take photos and then take them apart and trying to make then represent something in my life. The following five photos all represent some type of aspect of my life. For example, the first picture of the Buddha, it represents "self-awareness." The Buddha isn't phased by the weather or the people but it sits tall, strong a proud but is aware of everything else around it. Overall I had a fun time talking about these pictures and developing new understanding of them.

Double Exposure

Double Exposure

Artist Statement: This week we worked on creating double exposure photos with out previous pictures we had took. I first edited all the photos in black and white. Then I went on an editing website called Pic Monkey where I created all my new pictures. I took two pictures and over lapped them, once I finished that I took the picture that was on top and enhanced the fade so that it was not as clear. I was trying to merge both photos together to make one picture that contained a lot of different textures and images. I think this assignment was not too hard but it was fun to create. Over all I really enjoyed this project.

Reflections

Reflections

Artist Statement: This week I worked on creating images that reflect off of one another. The goal was to compose a batch of images that make you feel like you are in a different world. I walked around my school and took photos of the windows of different building. I tried to capture an image where both the window and the reflection on the window were clear, with the objective that two worlds were colliding. Over all I think that this weeks assignment where challenging but fun to make.
