Photoshop In class.

We started by taking two images both the same size and putting them on photoshop. I decided to use two images i had taken in the studio of my friend Alex. 



we then learnt how to overlay them on top of one and other. I liked doing this even though i knew how to do it, some stuff i did not know about, i usually dragged the images on top of each other but this way was much better for previewing it and also for blending. 


I decided to blend mine as one image inverted, i thought it made it look quite interesting. 


We then looked at some editing, curves, filters and contrast, black and white ect. 






We also learnt how to make something CMYK instead of RGB. Which i didn't know how to do so that was really interesting. 

We learnt how to use different tools like lasso, liquidize, Clone and how layers work.







For me this was the most fun i have had in a while, i have been feeling a bit lost with my work lately and loosing interest and confidence in myself and doing this reminded me how much i love working digitally. How much i love photography and editing. I don't know why but i love editing images, i could do it for hours and hours. I used to edit all my friends photos (selfies)  for them when i was younger and i loved it. I loved learning more about Photoshop because i just find it so interesting to know how to do different things. 

We got to then create whatever we wanted using some of the stuff we learnt. I used this image i took last week and decided to use filters and liquidize.

When i was a kid, i got asked to produce a drawing that expressed Autumn, the winner got the work in a calendar for the school. I worked and i worked on this drawing, expressing my feelings of Autumn. I won. I told my Mum and Dad that they could buy the calendar with my work in it, i was so proud. I showed my parents my work, and although they were happy for me told me they that although it was good, my sister's new drawing of a bird was better... more realistic. Through out all of my childhood and teenage years, i was told i was not as good as my sister and to this day i still do. I would constantly compare my work to hers, and eventually i gave up art completely. I had a pang of jealousy when i would see other peoples art work, and suppress the jealous feeling towards my sister and the anger i felt towards my parents. I felt even more guilt and as i grew i built up this wall around myself, i put on a mask of a confident girl, who did not feel jealousy, sadness or frustrat...

Cubism Phases

Cubism is one of the most influential art movements. It was created by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braques between 1907 - 1914. It Was hugely inspired by the works on Cezanne and was the idea that images could be created that showed multiple view points and by breaking down an object back to there geometric parts.  Cubism had two distinctive phases, the first being... The A nalytical Phase: (1907-12) The name Analytical suggests analysis, the close examination of a subjects in order to create flat shapes, lines and angles and overlapping planes. An example of this is :  Georges Braque Bottle and Fishes  circa 1910-2 Oil on canvas The painting above is by Georges Braque . He was a French Painter and one of the creators of Cubism. This painting is of a bottle, fish and plate on a table with a drawer. It looks very busy, fractured and broken. I know that  Analytical  cubism used a small range of dark colours like blacks, blues and greys...

Photography : Rommert Boonstra & Laurie Simmons

For photography i wanted to look at artists who use models or staged worlds for their photography because its not something i looked into previous years. From moodel i came across Rommert Boonstra. He is a photographer, poet and theater director. He also taught photography at several art academies.He is well known for his Staged photography and he has Four books are published about his photo works. He uses everyday objects to create these worlds... I am pretty taken aback with these photographs and i am surprised there is not a lot about these images online. The only words i can find to describe them is other worldly. They look like completely different words, like something you would find in science fiction comic. They are just amazing. What i liked about these is the way he has used light and shadows to create the illusion of above and below, in the first 2. He has also used composition and perspective to make you feel like you are inside the world its self. I like...
