Artist Statement

There are many great art works you might find in my portfolio. I think I’ve done a decent job on my portfolio, and it’s an average portfolio that anyone would have if they’re taking digital photography class. There are many cool artworks that I’ve done with Photoshop on my own face and many on my partner Xavier. Also, there are posts about me explaining how to apply the 7 compositional tricks to your photo so that it’s look decent and not cliché.

I have learned a lot throughout the semester to better myself at taking picture skills and fixing the picture with Photoshop so it’s look more artistic. One of my favorite projects was the personal words where you find a poem or lyrics from a song and relate it to your situation. I’ve learned how to turn my shadow into a shadow of words. Also, there’s a tool in Photoshop that allow you to erase pimples or scar off of people’s face and to give someone fang.

I feel most successful with the project photographic effect. Because I’ve learned how to master the blur and changing color of the background so my emphasis can look more intense and artistic. I am struggle with this project and also one of my favorite projects also is the personal words one. I really like the idea of the project, but I was not here when teacher taught the class about how to make your own paint brush, and my art work end up looking plaint and tasteless.

I would hope to improve on my Photoshop skills because there are a lot of things I wanted to do with my picture but I just do not know or how to apply the effect of Photoshop into my photo so that it’s look more artistic (Photoshop have too many ways to improve or mess with photos and yet I have not learn much) I think I’ve improved on my thinking skills and the ability to come up with ideas fast, because I usually slow when it come to being creative, if I was myself from the beginning of this semester, I would not have done this artistic statement in one class period.
