Project 1: 1.29.13

Self Portrait Drawing.
For this image I used different settings of the brush tool as well as changes in opacity to
create a painterly effect while digitally painting my face.
Abstract Portrait.
I loved finding this graffiti-ed portrait of a girl out on the street beside a phone box.
It really represents a specific image and situation and the colors and really vibrant and interesting.
Extra Portrait.
This portrait is kind of a tongue in cheek reference to Rene Magritte's paintings.
Representational Portrait. This image captures two different representations of a face.
Idea/Action Drawing (Texting)
I digitally painted this image and wanted to make it kind of
symbolic and not to make it too straightforward by also including the text blurb shapes.

Idea.
Found outside of Holman Hall.
Representational Action (Walking)
Kind of self explanatory. I edited the image slightly in Photoshop, changing the
 contrast and levels, as well as the tones to make it more clear.


Abstract Action (Climbing Stairs)
I altered this image a lot using Photoshop. I converted it to black and white
and then adjusted the curves and contrast in order to bring out strong dark tones
without losing the motion and sort of playfulness in the image. 
Environment Drawing
This is an image in which I employed digital painting. I painted a pathway in
Princeton, NJ.

Representational Environnent
Image taken in Barcelona in Parc Gaudi, and I think it really represents an
environment well, with the towering marble and distinct vanishing point.

Extra Environment
This photo also depicts an environment with  a strong vanishing point.



Abstract Environment
I love the different textures and shades all throughout the image, and the motion
in the composition that helps your eye move throughout and into the photograph.
