Popart

Artist Reflection 

The strongest technical aspect of my the Andy Warhol pop art image of the butterfly is is creating a threshold layer making the whole image black and white and then painting the color back in creating a poppet image. The technical aspect of my work that could be improved on is the painting, I would like to maybe try shading in certain areas to add depth to the image maybe. 

The easy part of this art activity was creating a threshold layer to make the image all black and white. The difficult part was choosing what colors to use and then painting in  certain parts was a tedious process.

I demonstrated the objective of this art activity by creating a threshold layer and then painting the color back in to create a pop art image. If I were to do this art activity again I would try to use shades of colors to create for depth within the image and maybe to using more threshold layers. 

Morphed Animal

Artist Reflection 

The strongest technical aspect of my work is the blending of an orca whale and a seabird to make it appear as if it one animal alone by using the stamp tool to blend textures from one animal to another. The technical aspect of my work that could be improved on is the addition of the shadow which I tried doing to make it appear more realistic but i wasn't sure which way to warp it to make it appear as if the sun was shinning on the animal creating a shadow in the background.

The easy part of this activity was creating layer mask to erase parts of each animal to blend parts of each together. The difficult part of this activity was using the stamp tool to use textures from one animal to another because when I kept using it I would get unrealistic effects but I eventually figured it out and got it to work.

I demonstrated the objective my creating a morphed animal inside photoshop using layers and layer masks while also using the stamp tool to blend textures from one animal part to another. If I were to do this activity again differently I would try two different animals that may work together better and try to think about a background first maybe before selecting which animals I would like to use.
