Assignment 2- Self Identity


            The strongest technical aspect of my work is the use of overlapping layers and color placement. This is the strongest technical aspect because it is used the most throughout the project. The use of blending layers more efficiently could be improved on by using objects that fit together well. Choosing the images for this activity was the easiest and creating color placement between all of the images. Also coloring them with the eye dropper was easy.
           The most difficult thing about this art activity was using the layers properly and not leaving behind random layers, which create traces of the object behind. I demonstrated the objective of this art activity by depicting what kind of person I am, and what things I enjoy about summer. If I could do this art project again, I would use all coloring book page images so that all the objects fit together.

Assignment 1- Letter Project



       The strongest technical aspect of my work is the various amount of layers used. Another strong technical aspect of this project is the amount of transformations. I used these and changed the scale to create my work. The technical aspect of my work that could be improved on would be the radial symmetry, in my project. Choosing the colors was easy for this art activity, except the background. Choosing what looked better behind the brighter colors, took longer to decide.
     
       Using proper radial symmetry was the most difficult part of this art activity. Especially when there were many layers, that were overlapping it was hard to line up each letter and continue to keep it symmetrical. I demonstrated the objective in this art activity by using more than ten layers, four colors, editing the layers, using balance to create symmetry, and changing the opacity on them. If I could do this art activity again I would use a different font, and place the center letters differently.
