Week 6

Assignment- the assignment for this week was to have our first draft of the mesh picture ready to be evaluated . This picture was supposed to show what message we are trying to get across.

Craft (How I did it)- I started by taking a couple of new picture in order to use the best ones for my final picture. I had an idea in my head and i wanted to get it in a photo. After picking several pictures i wanted to use, i began editing them on photoshop and meshing them together.

Composition (Arrangement of elements)- The arrangement of this picture draws attention to the kid who is flying first, then to the background of the sky and the sun.

Concept (What I am trying to say)- In this picture i am trying to say that this little boy would go beyond his grasp just to help out those in need. Although i am not done with this photo, the final picture will be a bit clearer. There will be a diabled person in a wheelchair and the littly boy tries to help by getting what she cant reach.

week 5

Assignment- The assignment for this week was to think of an idea that we feel strongly about and express it through the pictures we took.

Craft- Im doing this by taking pictures of things that would help get my message across. I took 25 pictures already and i have an idea about what pictures i want to mesh together.

Composition- After I figured out what pictures I wanted to use, i began thinking of how i could use them in one picture. I am thinking about having a picture of a boy who looks like he is flying and a piture of the sky or the sunset and mix them. I also have a picture of a sparkly diamond ring that i want to use as well.

Concept- My concept in this picture is going to be a young boy who dreams that he could fly but never does until one day he sees something shiny and sparkly up there. He then decides to go for it and ends up flying. The basic concept is that it is okay to dream big even if you know something wont happen.

week 4

Assignment- The assignment was to combine one picture from the Lincoln era with a picture from now. This was the assignment for last week as well but we are just putting the finishing touches on the pictures now.

Craft- (How i did this) I did this by getting 25 pictures from the Lincoln era and putting them on my flashdrive. Then i went around and took 25 pictures new pictures and saved them as well. I then went on photoshop and combined two pictures i thought would look good together and edited them. I decided to change my picture from last week because my message was not clear in the picture. I wanted to make sure that others could see what i was trying to say with my new picture.

Composition- The most important thing in my picture was Lincoln and his son because it showed that they were just out trying to have a good time. The soldier were also important because they were there for protection and they draw most peoples attention first.

Craft- (What are you trying to say?) I chose to combine these photos together becasue i thought they had a good meaning. I thought that the picture of Lincoln and his son hanging out downtown showed that they were just normal people having a good time out together. The soldiers at the top of the building were there as a form of protection for Lincoln and his son in case anyone tried to harm them.

week 3

Assignment- Take one old picture and one new picture and mix them together to form one picture.

Craft (How I did it) - I did this by looking at the pictures i have and deciding which ones are my favorites. After picking the two I wanted to use, I went to photoshop and pasted the picture on there. Then I mixed the old picture of Lincoln with the new picture I took. Then I began trimming the photo of Abe to make it look as if it were taken at the same time as the new picture.

Composition- I chose these photos as my best because i liked the picture with the trees hanging out form the side and i thought it would look nice when I mixed it with the picture of Abe. 

Concept- What I was trying to say was that Abe is a normal guy who likes to hang out in front of the lake without being bothered by other people.
