Rapoza,+Liza

Hi, my name is Liza Rapoza. I am 17 years old and a senior.

The most interesting part of this project was how fast we could scan our names from paper onto the computer. I also liked how you could fade two colors.

The most interesting part of making my city was how realistic you could make everything look, like the sky and the ground. I also like how you can add the light flares.

//This was my favorite project of them all. I liked this project because you got to play around with your favorite animals. I think one of the coolest things about this project was how you could clone a part of the picture and transfer it to another part of the picture. I also like how realistic you can make it look when you blend two of the animals colors together. Lastly, I liked how you could put a shade of color over a part of one of the animal's body to help make the different colors match better.//

 //This project was very cool. I liked creating it because we got to use photography, which is something I love. Also, my friends were in the picture, making it extremely fun. //

// I really enjoyed this project because since we have already learned most of things about Photoshop we needed to know, we really had no limits on what we couldn't do for this project. I chose to place myself in the ocean because I love the ocean. Plus we needed to use a picture we took, so I used a picture of me and my 2 friends ////<span style="color: #a843a2; font-family: georgia,serif; font-size: 90%;">from our last project. I also included butterflies because I love butterflies as well. The reason this picture is surreal is because obviously, butterflies would never be able to survive in the ocean.. neither would me or my 2 friends. //



<span style="color: #808080; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">// I loved this project. I love doodling, and that's basically what this project consisted of. Although //

<span style="color: #808080; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">// it wasn't exactly handwritten doodling, but computer doodling. I loved how we could do anything we //

<span style="color: #808080; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">// wanted to and it would automatically fall under some category of art elements. The art elements and //

<span style="color: #808080; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">// principles of design my project fell under was variety, color, repetition, and value. //

<span style="color: #7dd553; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The photo I touched up was a random girl from the internet. In order to touch this picture up, I used the Dodge tool to lighten her face in some areas, the clone tool to get a clear part of her skin and put it over the bad parts, and I used color balance to change the color of her eyes. The tool I just learned how to use was the dodge tool which helped me a lot in this picture as well.

<span style="color: #7dd553; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">I really liked this project because I got to use some of my favorite colors- black & red. I used Angelina Jolie because she is a very inspiring person. She is always saying good, relatable quotes. I used this quote because pain and suffering are inevitable, but they only make you stronger in the end.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> The room I created was a bedroom. I got basically all of my furniture and decorations from Pottery Barn. I chose Pottery Barn because it is my favorite furniture store. I added a mountain background because I love snow plus it kind of fit the feel of my room. I also chose some of the things in my room because they resemble some of the furniture of my house and the colors so I liked it.

// <span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">I liked the colors of my backpack, and I like the saying underneath it.. it looks like a real advertisement to me. //

 * <span style="color: #bba8b9; font-family: Georgia,serif;">I liked the words in the different shades of my face, I thought that was really cool. I also like the background with the quote. I overall really liked this project because I got a chance to express myself in different ways. **

In 2006, Jack Hankins, a British artist, expatriated to Japan. He is mostly involved in illustration. But, Hankins is also heavily in the paper toy scene. His artist persona is called Horrorwood. His work is based on a variety of motifs and themes involving nature, legends, myths, Western and Japanese culture and traditions, esoteric symbolism, and obviously, horror. The Art of Gravity is a regular group art show that is based in Takamatsu, Japan. Jack Hankins is one of the founding members and organizers of it also. I really like his art because it involves different colors and unique, cool shapes of paper that he has created.
