Social Commentary

"Words hurt" was my title of this project. I based it on verbal abuse and how some words can seem more harsh than others. I put knives coming out of one of the girls mouth which progressively get larger by the time they reach the other girls ear. This is supposed so represent how words can be portrayed differently.

I took a picture of two girls and took pictures of different types of knives. Then I took the knives and made them smaller to resemble the words coming out of the mouth. the knives are going different directions so it looks like they're being "thrown" out of the mouth. I also had the girl in the blue the focal point since she is the one getting hurt and I wanted to see her facial expression better.

When I edited my picture, I kept the image the same, but added words to the knives. I did this to represent that the knives were some words that can offend others.

Cubist Still Life

I made a photo montage to make the image look more like cubes. I also had the apple as my focal point. I did this by taking different photos of the still life at different angles so the final piece would look different from the actual display and I overlapped the photos to create a more "cube" feel. I made the apple larger than the actual size so that it would be my focal point.

I made a photo montage for my project to make the still life look "distorted".

Self Portrait: The Inside Scoop

This picture shows the two sides of me: calm and crazy : )

I took the picture with mountains in the background to represent my surroundings. I also had designs on half of my face to symbolize my life experiences. I also colored in the flower, heart, and blue design by my eye so that they would stand out more.
