Project #1: Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol was an American artist who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. If I had the chance to buy one of Andy Warhol’s pop art, then I would, because his art is very colorful and expresses a message. This type of art reminds me that there are different views for the same concept. For me, pop art is pleasant, because it has a nice coloring and feels peaceful. Critics in popular culture would not understand the full message that the author is saying. Informed opinion is making an opinion using information that is provided, while uninformed opinion is an opinion without any information. The difference between taste and bias is that taste is the ability to recognize and appreciate what is beautiful, excellent, or appropriate. Bias is a preference or an inclination, especially one that inhibits impartial judgment. Warhol’s portraits are the same as other’s art by the concept of it like a portrait of someone. Whats different from most of the art is the simplicity of it. Warhol uses simple color for his art. Portraits are important to us, because it opens your imagination and its part of your memories. Making a Warhol portrait of myself feels fun. I would like to make more of this with other people. I created mine by selecting me using the quick selection tool. Then I desaturate the selection and use the filtering gallery. I put uncut and have to change the volume of the face until I feel it looks good. Then I cut out the 4 backgrounds with different colors and then duplicate my face to 4. I put them into 4 groups to keep them organized and then did a selection for all 4 faces, put a mask and added the color. Then I changed the opacity so it transitions. I can see myself doing this in the future if I were to do art or create a website about Andy Warhol.

 

Lab #4

In this lab, I have to use the images from my hike to show the different types of images I took. There are five different type of photos that I have to take, which are: Low-Point View, High-Point View, Eye-Level View, Close-Up View and Landscape. I have taken many different photos with these types and choose the best ones. The best one for Low point is the flag poles photo. The best one for the High Point is me and my sister standing on a rock. The best photo for the Eye Level is my eye Level on the statue of George Washington. The best photo for the landscape one is the U.S. Open Stadium with the trees in the background. The best photo I got for Close-Up is the tree branch close up.

What i did first was import the pictures from the camera i borrowed into the computer. Next I put the top 5 photos into the lab and label it. I did free transformation on all 5 of the photo, but did not change the aspect ratio by holding Shift while dragging the photo. This will make the photo not look stretched out. Next I made the photo into organized orders and made the spacing almost the same. Next i labeled each one of the pictures with an orange text. Finally i labeled my name, Lab #4 and the date. This skill can be used into the future to become a photographer as an professional job. This can also be used as a skill as a web designer by creating a background photo in the website.

Lab #3

In this lab, the objective was to use the image of the car to create 4 different one and make each one unique. I have to use each of these setting for each car: Hue, Saturation, Replace Color and Black & White. To do the lab, you first change the image size of the car to 250 width and 186 height. Next you move the modified image to the white background. Next you duplicate the car image 4 times so there are 5 cars. Then you move the original car to the upper right corner and make the 4 duplicate cars connect diagonally. Then you start modifying the cars.

The first car, which is the one on the upper left, needs to be black & white. What I did was go to the Black & White setting and lower the red for the car so it look like a black car. The next car needs to be saturated. So what I did was go to Hue/Saturation and lower the saturation to look like it has green windows. The next car needs to have a different color instead of red. So what I did was go to Replace Color, select the color red and change the color to orange. The final car needs to be a different Hue. So I went to Hue, increase the Hue and accept the changes. The last thing I did was label the cars and put my name, Lab 3 and date. What I learned is ways to change an image's color. If I were to use these skills in the future, it would be modifying it to fix the image.

Difference between 72 Resolution and 300 Resolution

Difference Between 72 Resolution and 300 Resolution

There is a major difference between a picture with 72 resolution and 300 resolution. The first major difference is the quality of the picture. The first picture, which is 300 resolution looks HD and has a lot of pixels. This means that the picture must be big in scale. But in the picture with 72 resolution, the pixels is pretty obvious to see. That means the photo must be a small one. Because of the resolution, that mean the pixels in the length and width is different. I can also tell from the 2 pictures that one with 300 resolution need more different mixtures of color when printing than the other. The reason why is because there is more pixels to print for the picture with 300 resolution, but with the picture with 72 resolution, printing is simple since the pixel are big and its not complicated. This is the difference between the 2 pictures, one with 72 resolution and one with 300 resolution.

Lab #2

In Lab #2, We have to select the dog, make duplicates of it and make each one unique and different to the original one. The tools that I use in the lab is the quick selection tool, the quick mask tools and all of the appearance tabs in the Image tab. What I did first was use the quick selection tool to make a simple selection of the dog. Then I put the Quick Mask Selection to know what is selected and what isn't. The red shade means it isn't selected, and what is in its original color is being selected. Next I have to use the Brush tool to select carefully what is blue to remove the sky. After I carefully did that, I duplicated the selection via Copy.

Next I get the copy and Press Command + T to do Free Transformation. This allows me to Rotate it and change the size of the copy. I made the dog small and made 8 copies of it so each one can be unique. I then made eachdog unique by clicking on Images, then Adjustments. For example, I increase the Hue on one of the dog. Once I made each one different from the original one, I put my name, the date and Lab #2. What I learned in the project is the easier way to select from an image. This can be used in the future of a web designer by showing people an example of photoshoping.

Melon Head Lab

In the melon head lab, we have to use a variety of tools to use in the lab. The first tool is the Move Tool. You can use the tool to drag a thing that is selected to a different place. If you hold Options while having the Move Tool, it duplicates the items. The next set of tools are the Marquee tools. You use these tools to select on an image and you then have options to use the part you selected. The next set of tools are the Lasso Tools it selects what u wants and duplicates it into a laver, or cuts it. The last tools are the Magic Wands. It is another way to select the image you want to select.

In my melon head lab, what I did was try to recreate myself by using the fruits. I first created the eyes with the carrots and blueberry. Next I use the pear tomato for the nose. Then I decide to use the kiwi for the freckles and the melon slice for the ears. I cut part of the melon slice to create the mouth and eye brows. I then use the macaroni for the hair and the bow tie. I also use the radishes for the hair. I then use the mushroom for the neck and I was done with my face. I next created a car, which the carrots was the wheel, the mushroom was the body of the car and the melon with the blueberry is the door. These skills can be used in the future by shaping other things in a website to fulfill as a web designer.
