Arcimboldo Project

For this project, we had to create a picture modeled after the artist Arcimboldo's paintings. He would take things all related to something and create a face out of them. For example, he would create a face out of fruit or vegetables. For my project, I made a face out of flowers. The neck is the stem of a flower and then it goes into a flower pot. The flower pot is then in a flower garden.At first I didn't like this project because I couldn't decide what to do for the theme, but then once I figured that out it wasn't so bad. Finding the types of flowers that could work for each body part was kind of difficult but fun at the same time because once you found the flower that resembled that part, it was really exciting!

Color Wheel Stencil Project

For this project, we had to get 6 pictures of related things, for example things dealing with sports or football. After we had these pictures, we put a stamp on them and put part of the picture in the stamp shape. After this, we put a photo filter on each stamp where each one would be a color of the rainbow. Finally, the background had to be something using a gradient. We had to do 2 projects, one with pictures of our own and one where we could use pictures from the internet.

For my first picture I got pictures of musical instruments off the internet so my theme was music. For my stamp, I got pictures of two different music notes to use. I thought my background for this one was pretty cool because I made the gradient into this cool circle. I thought this one was pretty good but I thought that my second project was better. In the first music note there is a picture of drums, the second is a tuba, the third is a piano, the fourth is a saxophone, the fifth is a violin with sheet music, and the sixth is a guitar.

For my next project I had to use pictures that I took myself so I decided that I would use pictures from the beach. For my stamp I used a picture of a guy with a surfboard standing. I also liked my gradient for this one because it kind of looks like a horizon and the 6 surfers look like they are looking out onto it. I liked the shape of this picture better as well. My first surfer has a boat in it, the second has some beach houses, the third is a view of the ocean, the fourth is a view of this marshy area, the fifth is the view of a bay/sound type thing, and the sixth is a horse that was on an island we went to. I also really liked this one because I love the beach!

Advertisement Project

For this project we had to make an advertisement for a product, event, business, etc. For my advertisement, I decided to make a poster type thing for the Western Girls' Basketball Team. This was inspired by their season starting up today. I took basketball player silhouettes from the internet and used those. The background I also found online. On the text as well as the basketball players I put some outer glow effects.
