Final Exam- Part 3

bullet 1:


To complete this photo, the digital artist most likely used the eraser tool to get rid of the fin and the copy shortcut to get two of the same picture; he/she also probably took pictures of the sea. I like it because it shows that unnatural destruction of ecosystems can destroy our Earth and its evolutionary balance.



The digital artist most likely used the place tool to add two pictures to one frame; he/she also might have used scale to exaggerate the model's skinny figure to make his point. Makeup, in addition to lighting, could have been used in the actual shoot to make the model appear ridiculously slim. This photo makes me think because it shows how the "perfect" body is unrealistic (hence, the sketch comment) and how destructive anorexia can be 







For this, The digital artist could have used dodge/burn to make the lighting just perfect. He/ she might have even cropped the picture to make sure a child of color was put next to white babies. For the shoot, the photographer most likely dressed the baby up. It is heartbreakingly amazing to see the story this photo tells. It calls attention to a racist society and the (more so) limited resources given to people of color. It also calls out stereotypes. 




For this photo, the photographer probably took a large-scale picture of the beach and the editor probably brightened the image artificially to make it look happy. It draws attention to the fact that pedophiles are located in bright, happy places, and that we never truly know who is who. The nicest person could be hiding a dark secret.




The photographer probably found this sign located in a certain area and then the photo was cropped to bring attention to that certain place. I like the photo because it brings attention to the fact that air pollution from large corporations are slowly killing us, much like a gun would. It is very clever and highly metaphorical, 


bullet 2:
David Meanix, Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso, Roy Lichtenstein, and Daniele Guido are all very different, but also similar, artists. They are similar in that they all bring interesting, different pieces of work to the art industry. Daniele Guido shows unique hand designs. Roy Lichtenstein produces comic-like pictures unlike any shown before. Andy Warhol uses interesting colors that capture even the most cynical person's eye. Picasso stuns with his odd shapes which form a bigger image. David Meanix creates pictures that appear to be ripped, creating a clever spin on things. Although they do have different fields: Meanix in photography; Warhol in comics; Picasso in cubism; Lictenstein in colorful painting; and Guido in hand art, they all make art an enjoyable experience. Each one of theses artists have been hugely acclaimed. I think their love and devotion for art have, despite the severe differences in the type of art they produce, make them more similar than different.


bullet 3:
My favorite digital art project was the culinary unit. I enjoyed learning how to sharpen and correct tones to make food more appealing. I also loved finding my creative side and building a photoshop "sculpture". The unit was challenging, but it also taught me a lot about photoshop as well as the food industry. As for studio projects, my favorite, by far, was the fashion unit. I loved working with my friends to created an innovative, attractive, and creative outfit. Being able to build a Tinkerbell dress out of raw materials and just glue, tape, and string made me feel so proud of myself. The best part was when all of our hard work paid off and we won the fashion show! This class has taught me how to take beautiful photos, how to edit on Photoshop, and how to create art in the style of famous artists. This class has also taught me, however, about social issues and subjects deeper than fine and digital art.
