I feel that the strongest part of the final product is the color contrast because in the original picture you can tell different parts without trying but in mine you can do so as well because it is well defined. The area that I can use my work is the blending because certain spots may look a little too blurry where he should have a sharper I could fix that by making the brush more hard or soft so we can blend properly. There was no thing easy about this activity because not only did I choose image with a lot of detail and different colors in it but I had to then circle and differentiate each difference. I also found it easy using the eyedropper to get the correct color versus having to look for the specific colors seeing if it matches. I found everything difficult because I like to challenge myself. But to be more specific the blending was the most difficult because you had to brush a certain way to get the right shadowing in the right contrast and certain colors had to pop whereas other colors had to be dull. Some mediums that I used were the paintbrush which are used to isolate the different colors and I also use layers so I can sketch on one and blend on the other Leslie I love dodge and burn to make certain areas darker and certain areas brighter. I demonstrated my objective in this art activity by trying my hardest and staying after so I could complete it would 100% of my effort and also being very biased towards it because I think it’s the bees knees. If I could do this activity over again I would choose a different picture and I would manage my time properly so I know I could finish it on time and not have to stay after also I would just be more productive with my time really

     My strongest area of work is the tattoo that I chose, I like it because it represents that time of the most important thing that you have. One area I can improve on is the cleanness of the tattoo on my skin, to make it look more believable. I could probably explore more with different pictures of myself of other family members and different types of tattoos. The easiest part of this project was getting a picture of myself to be honest. Some things that were difficult about the art activity is how to make the tattoo blend to my skin as best as possible. Some mediums that I saw are the types of effects that I could put on the tattoo and also the type of tattoo I wanted, I could either be sentimental or practical or a little bit of both. I used the layer mask to paint. On my skin I demonstrated my goal by trying my best and showing off my work to my friends and family. If I could do this activity again I would probably use different a different picture and draw a different tattoo.

My strongest area of work is my choice of pictures. One area I can improve on is the cleanness of the picture blending, it could have been cleaner and more strategic. I could probably explore more with different pictures from the internet. The easiest thing is that there is no right or wrong way to do it, it is my picture and me in the picture. Some things that were difficult about the art activity is figuring out which picture to put where. Some mediums that I saw are paint tool, and the switches that I have to click to keep everything in proportion. I used the paint brush to color the picture and used the layer mask to paint. I demonstrated my goal by posting the image on my blog. If I could do this activity again I would probably use different colors and choose a different picture.

My strongest area of work is my picture choice. One area I can improve on is the cleanness of the colors, it could have been cleaner. I could probably explore more with different pictures from the internet. The easiest thing is that there is no right or wrong way to do it, it is my picture and me in the picture. Usually teacher follow a rubric but there is no rubric to my opinion. Some things that were difficult about the art activity is figuring out which tool does what because when I would use eye dropper something wouldn’t change to the right color. Some mediums that I saw are paint tool, and the switches that I have to click to keep everything in proportion. I used the paint brush to color the picture and used the layer mask to paint myself in. I demonstrated my goal by posting the image on my blog. If I could do this activity again I would probably use different colors and choose a different picture.

My strongest area of work my sand dollar positioning. When I am asked to do work I get it done especially when there is a due date. One area I can improve on is the cleanness on the items, it could have been cleaner. I could probably explore more with different places. The easiest thing is that there is no right or wrong way to do it, it is my picture and me in the picture. Usually teacher follow a rubric but there is no rubric to my opinion. Some things that were difficult about the art activity is figuring out which tool does what because when I would use magic wand something wouldn’t change but others would. Some mediums that I saw are move tool, and the switches that I have to click to keep everything in proportion. I used the move tool to manipulate the picture and used the layer mask to paint myself in. I demonstrated my goal by posting the image on my blog. If I could do this activity again I would probably try a cut the picture closer and make them look cleaner.
