Art with Amanda

We were able to take 60-90 photos of any activity that we wanted to create a stop-and-go animation. The video had to be at least a 45 second minimum, using three photos per second to make the frame by frame transitions more smoothly. I decided to do an animation on making a pizza from scratch. I did way over the required number of photos but it was worth it because the finished animation looks really cool and it tasted good too! 

Using inspiration from Irina Wernin, we were told to create a short morphX animation of ourself in two period of our life. By using a childhood image and a recent image of myself now, I created my video from a child to adult through animation on Photoshop.

We were asked to find one of our favorite painted portrait or a famous photograph and coming the image with our own face. I decided one the great Marilyn Monroe for inspiration.

Through Photoshop we were asked to place ourselves in an environment that we had never been in before. I have always wanted to go to Paris, so that's where I went in my photo. I was able to make it look like I had actually been there through the cropping tool and creating a shadow below me. 

This project began our introduction to Photoshop. We were asking to select 8 photos and get a feel for how use the layer effects and Photoshop filters work.  I wanted to see how extreme I could get my photos to look and made them really abstract with various colors.

Through getting inspiration in class, we had to create an image that we found and turn that image into a poster by enhancing our automatic tracing tools in the program Adobe Illustrator.
