These are the photos and paintings there were assigned at the first week of class. We were assigned a 15 minute painting, a 30 minute painting, and a 60 minute painting -- all done in photoshop. This experience was brand new for me, as I have not previously had any experience with this software. This is not to mention the fact that I have not painted traditionally before. Well, we all have, but I have not done it seriously in any way.
We were also told to take 3 abstract photos. I have posted four, the first two are actually of the same subject. The third is a street sign I found in the woods as a child. The last is a Pinocchio doll that my brother brought me home from Italy. These abstractions would be better if I owned a macro lens. This makes up-close photos much easier to shoot. This exercise was a lot of fun, as I enjoy taking digital and analog photos alike. I would like to work on my framing, focusing, and color in order to achieve better results moving forward in this class.
