REFLECTION FOR COLORIZED

     The strongest aspect of my work was making my hair purple.  I changed it from dark brown to bright purple while still making it look like hair.  Im really happy on how it turned out and looked in the end.  Also my eyes came out strong by making them loo red.  The aspect of work I can improve on is making sure the color is closer to the area of where I'm actually putting it and having it line up better.  Some of the lines or paint color didn't lay well on top of each other either. 
     The part that was easy about this activity was that it was a selfie and it was taken prior and I already had the pictures and I just had to choose which one I wanted to use.  This was so much easier than having to take a bunch of pictures and looking through them and seeing which ones came out better than others. The part that was difficult about this activity was making the layers and making sure you didn't use your original copy.  Also it was difficult to undo things that you messed up and erasing your previous move on photoshop.    
     I demonstrated the objective in this activity because I made all of my features a different color that was unrealistic.  Like my hair bright purple, eyebrows blue, eyes red, and lips bright pink.  I then went further and changed my jacket to green and they were all fake looking colors.  I demonstrated this by using photoshop and editing it with the adjustments.  If I could do this activity again I would try a different approach and do different colors and have it look like a more natural edit.  And make it  more specific to the actual area I was trying to change.

SCALE REFLECTION

     The strongest aspect of my work is my ability to make two objects look like they were doing something when they really weren't and was not touching.  With my dog i made it look like he was in a cup and for the nutcracker it looked like he was drinking wine.  I think I got the objects close enough and made it look somewhat realistic.  The aspect of work I can improve on is the clearness and sharpness and making the colors brighter.  The resolution can be improved on as well.
     The thing that was easy about this project was having to shoot and take the pictures.  Taking these pictures allowed you to do almost anything you wanted and giving you creative freedom.  The hardest part was having to adjust your objects and find the right angle so the picture came out the way you wanted them too.  Also it was hard to have my dog stay still because he likes to move and adjusting him was difficult.
     I demonstrated the objective in this art activity through my pictures and making things look larger than they actually.  The cupped look huge so it looked like my dog was inside the cup.  If I could do this art activity again I would use different angles to get a different effect and picture look.

Motion and Light Reflection     

     The strongest aspect of my project is the coloring I chose to change in photoshop.  By changing the color is gave my pieces a different look and feeling which I enjoyed.  The aspect of my work that can be improved on is trying different things inside photoshop and experimenting more.  I need to get more comfortable with the program and then I think I will be able to create better images and more interesting products.  I also could improve on being able to take more pictures and trying different viewpoints or angles for the same image.  I'm not quite sure what things are going to come out good yet and what is going to look the best so those are the areas where I need improvement on.     The thing that was easy about the motion and light project was the uploading to the blog and playing around with the editing in photoshop.  The thing that was most difficult was having to take the pictures and then going through them and picking.  Overall the most difficult part was having to take the pictures because the light one it needed to be dark and you needed to be quick in able to capture the image you were trying to take.       I demonstrated the objects in the activity by going in the dark so the light would show up and be vivid.  Then for the motion by taking candid photos of my friends when they weren't expecting it.  It showed movement because they weren't standing still and posing.  If I could do this again I would have different photo options and take more so I would have more options to choose from.
