What is the strongest area (concerning technical execution) of the piece of work you made?  Why?

The strongest area of my art is the upper right part. The way I blended the pictures together looks amazing. When you look at it, you can see that that around my tattoo hand you can see how the two colors split in the middle. I think that specific around looks really good. Makes me think I did a good job. Everything around that upper part looks nice. I used blend modes correctly and also use the eraser correctly to get rid of the edges of my pictures.

What area of your work can be improved on? How?

There’s a couple of areas that I would fix if I was to do this project again. Now that I have an idea of what we are doing I would definitely use the rule of thirds better, move my pictures around play with

What was easy about this art activity? Explain.

Using the filters to change the color of the pictures and the shapes was really easy. Using the blend mode made my project easy and fun. When I was working, I found it very easy to blend my pictures together. It was pretty fun. Usually when something is fun and I like doing it I am always more engaged on it.

What was difficult about this art activity? Explain.

     In the beginning I was annoyed because when I tried to use the Magic Wand Tool and it would erase parts of the pictures that I didn’t want to cut off. Another difficult part was the rule of thirds, you wanted us to flip pictures around, fix them and make things not aligned but the way I was doing it wasn’t coming out right.

What mediums (materials) did you use? What tools in Photoshop/Illustrator did you use? How did you use them? Be specific.

       I used the Move tool to move my pictures around. I used the quick selection tool and the magic wand tool to get rid of the white parts off my pictures. A lot of times I used the eraser tool to get rid of the edges and make the pictures look nice next to each other. Even though this is not a type of material, I used the filters to change how my picture looked. I also used the blend modes to make sure that the pictures blend in right so they could come out beautiful.

How did you demonstrate the objective (the goal) in this art activity?

      I demonstrated the objective by using the filters, blend modes and selection tools to create my art piece. I used the filters to put textures. When I used the filters, I used it to change some pictures so they can look like paintings, sketches and many more. I used the blend mode to blend all of my pictures together so it could look nice and well blended. There were different types of effects when I used the blend modes, depending on which one I used the pictures blended in different. Around the upper part of my work I blend in pictures to make sure the colors change.

7.      If you could do this art activity again, what would you do differently?

If I could do this activity again I would pick a different background. I would pick better pictures that would show a better understanding of my personality. I would use better filters and blend my pictures in to make it incredible. I would definitely put more time and effort to make it way nicer to show you that I learned how to use the materials correctly.
