Concentration Photos in Progress

All you really need is the right pair of shoes. ~Cinderella

For my concentration, I chose to look at how throughout our lives, we try on different shoes, and learn how to tie our shoes, in order to become who we are later in life. In order to portray this theme, I used girls and there shoes throughout elementary, middle and high school. I feel like shoes are an item of someone's outfit that is often overlooked but can say a lot about someone.

Weekly Challenge #8-Opposite

I really enjoyed the opposite challenge. It took me while to figure out how I wanted to approach this, but once I did, it was really easy! I enjoyed the initial stretch to think outside the box and learn a new technique. I had no idea how to take an HDR photo, so I looked it up online and looked at tons of examples. Then when I was taking photos with Sadie for my concentration, I saw this building and decided to use it as my opposite. ENJOY :)

Silk Painting

My silk painting, I am really proud of how it turned out. This is like the first fine art thing I am proud of this year. :) 

Based on the AP Rubric I would give myself a 4 because of

4.A The work shows a good investigation of a variety of 2-D design principles

4.D The work shows a variety of intentions and purposes, although they may not be clearly 

articulated.

4.I There may be uneven levels of accomplishment among the works, but overall the work is of 

good breadth and quality.

Weekly Challenge #7-Choice

Over the past few weeks I have been photographing Collin's Haunted House. I have found it challenging to actually capture all the details and emotions that are in his Haunted House. I find it easier to capture the feeling when there was a person in the photo. But, overall, I have enjoyed photographing and new media. 

Weekly Challenge #6-Illustrator

My word was ability

I wish I would have had more time to finish it. I think I finally figured out some things in Illustrator so now I can go back and do a better job. 

Weekly Challenge #5-On Raglan Road

I really like how this weekly challenge turned out. Some of the photos are more literal representations of the poem, but others to me represent the feelings of the poem, or at least the way the poem makes me feel. I enjoyed the models I worked with, my sister and her friend Melissa.

Narrative Project

 These series of photos are about my grandma. My grandam passed away last Friday night, and these photos are in memory of her. She was always cooking and had tons of recipes. The recipes behind each photo are her recipes, a few months ago my mom scanned them all in so I thought I would put them to good use with this project. I am really happy with how the first 3 turned out but I am not as happy with the fourth one.
