Sharma,+Akriti

y name is Akriti Sharma. I am a freshman at the Methacton High School. I love the color purple



The part that was most successful was my background. I like the color scheme. I like the way I liquified the background.



The part that was most successful were the lollipops and the Hershey kisses. I like the way I tilted the lollipops. I also like the way I positioned the Hershey kisses to make them look like they are at different places.

Girmingo Girmingos are an endangered species. They are half flamingo and half giraffe. They are only found in South America. Girmingos are very loving pets. There are only 20 girmingos left on earth. So far, this was my favorite project. Over all I think it was an easy project. What I found difficult about this project was editing the shadows to make them look real. What I found easy about this project was cutting out my bodies and shadows out of the other pictures and copying them into the main picture. If I really did have clones, I would make them do all of my homework. In this picture, Elmo is a magical fairy. With a wave of his wand, he poofs me into an imaginary world. I made Elmo into a magical fairy because as a child, I really liked Elmo. This picture brings me back into my childhood. I really enjoyed this project because I could make my picture as unrealistic and crazy as I wanted to. The Principle of Design that I focused on was Symmetrical Balance. My picture is symmetrically balanced because in the lower left and the lower right, there are big swirlies. In the upper left corner, there is a bright pink squiggly line. To balance it out, there are dotted circles in the upper right corner. There are big dotted circles around each corner to give a sense of balance at each corner. Also, right in the middle, there are circles, which draw your eyes to the center, but still making the picture feel symmetrical.

BEFORE AFTER

In this project, I learned many important things. I learned how to use the healing tool and Gaussian blur to enhance the skin. I also learned how to use color balance to change the eye color and hair color. These tool are useful because if you have blemishes in a picture, or if you want to change your hair or eye color, you can. The person who I did my Pop Art project on is Taylor Swift. I chose to do my Pop Art project on her because she is my favorite singer. The quote "You put your eyes on me. In this moment now, capture it, remember it" is a quote from her song, "Fearless". "Fearless" is actually one of my favorite songs sung by Taylor Swift. What is really interesting is that me and Taylor Swift have the same birthday! I liked this project because I did this project on someone who I am obsessed with. I also liked the way this project turned out because I think it is beautiful! I love the way my room makeover turned out. I made the scene the Eiffel Tower because I always wanted to go there and it makes a beautiful scene. Although I already love what I've done with my own room, I would love to have this room. I liked this project a lot because I like designing rooms. This is the first project we had to advertise something. I learned a lot in this project. I learned that the words that advertise have to stand out. Also, I learned how to make the item advertised look important and appealing. Another thing I learned was how to make a logo. I have never made an advertisement before on Photoshop, so I really did not know much about advertising before doing this project. After I did this project, I really learned a lot of techniques to make something look presentable and amazing. I think the best thing I learned over all was how to play with viewers' eyes so their eyes go directly to things that stick out or are big and centered. Overall, this was my favorite project. I learned how to make patterns to put instead of plain paint. I love my background and I love how I put the text into the circles and spheres. I think this project looks really cool because the fact that the text is in shades of my face makes it look different, and I really like it!!!

Paper Art Write-up:

Ben O’Brian is a contemporary artist who really inspires me. Ben is an amazing commercial artist and designer. For more than ten years, Ben O’Brian has been working on creative projects involving bringing nature to shopping malls, branding hens for animation heroes and creating refreshment for city commuters. I like his work because everything he does has a lot of color and they are really bright. His work is very cartoon-like and creative. If you look at one of his pieces of art, you feel as if you have revisited your childhood. Everything he does is so dream-like and perfect.
