Crazy Combo

In this project we were instructed to make an animal out of anything we wanted. For my image i chose the body of a crow and started out with changing his beak to that of a Toucan's. Then I gave him legs and feet. They are duck legs with mens loafer shoes. Lastly i gave the crow a mohawk just to add some pizzazz. I also gave a ladybug a butterfly's wigs and placed it on the edge of the table. I thought that, because this is a wacky image already, why not go all out? So to finish it off i put it both creations on a red table that would stand out against the hypnotizing spiral background. Personally, i enjoyed this project because it let you be creative and make what you felt like making. 

Easter Egg History Brushes

This is a picture of fancy Easter eggs sitting out to dry. I tried to find a colorful design so that that when i desaturated it (took the color out of the picture), it would pop even more. I chose this picture because usually you see rubber bands layered on top of the egg to create stripes, but these eggs have flowers on them. I thought this was unique and it came out beautifully. 

This is a picture of a carton filled with dyed Easter eggs that I desaturated and then re-colored the important part the the picture; the Eggs. The variety of colors makes the picture look more interesting in my personal opinion. After i did one Easter egg picture i decided to do another because i liked it so much. Maybe next time though, I might choose a picture with a bit more detailed background. That way its more recognizable. I like the picture anyway though. 

Humming Bird History Brush

When this project was assigned I immediately thought about something that was colorful in its natural state so that when I put the color back in, the colors would truly stand out. Stained Glass was one of my first thoughts. In this History Brush assignment i tried to re-color the main focal points of the picture. In my opinion, I think tat this is my best History Brush project. I also have an easter egg one and a war painted friend of mine.

Music Project

In this project I chose to use the optional tie-die background. The music notes and people tend to stand out more. The middle of a tie-die spiral looks like a burst of color to me so i did the opposite and took bursts out of the color from the solid lines of color. Personally I don't think I would have put the solid lines of color in the picture in the first place but after I looked at it for a bit they grew on me. Overall Iwouldn't have put these pieces all together to make a picture like this but now it looks nice.
