I am addressing pressures of being a teen and struggling in life. Many of us hurt, yet some keep it in and others let it show. I am passionate about this because it is easy to relate to, as I am a high school student just trying to get by with many pressures and conflicts in my life. Art speaks much louder then words. You can grab the viewers attention and make them aware of things with colors and images. My drawing is of a young girl looking distressed with life cause by the social, physical, and emotion conflicts due to school.

My favorite project this semester was the landscape project. I love choosing one of my own photos and creating it a beautiful digital arts project. This was so much fun because I started getting more comfortable with gradients and I realized that they make your art work 10x better! I also loved creating the silhouettes of the trees and greenery.
I believe that there is a lot of hard parts to creating work like Justin Maller. For example, getting all of the shapes to fit perfectly next to each other with out gaps. Another example is the Gradients. It was frustrating for me to figure out how to change the colors for every shape. And lastly the hardest part for me was the bordering around the shape. I had to go back to every single shape and change the outline from 1 to 0.
I believe that the majority of photos don't tell the truth. Editing a photo using saturation, hue, ect is just another way of changing the real image into something else. For example it is along the same terms as when people say, "You are lying when you wear makeup". There are many pictures with things adjusted to please the eye, but that doesn't mean it the original photo (showing the truth). Although I believe there are more photos that lie, there are also photos that do tell the truth. Photos that show the amazing beauty and glowing essence in an image are ones that show the whole truth.
Before this class had started, I didn't even know how to open a photo in Photoshop. Now, I feel that I am capable of doing almost all projects without help. I now know where the tools are and what their specific jobs do. I also know how to uses my options and panels. Over all I feel that I have only improved within this class.
Not only is building a website a good opportunity to learn, it help with many other things as well. It will help with more job opportunities by knowing how to create and advertise a company. Making a website also helps you express your self and show the outside people what you are interested in (hobbies, favorites, ect.) Lastly, knowing how to build a website is a great learning experience and a greta way to play around with new things digitally.
Many skills come along with learning digital art. You don't only learn how to add layers to your pictures, or completely change the color of a photo. You also learn they ways of photoshop, how to mash pictures together, or cut and edit objects out of images. Its a way for the students in this class to come together and help each other. This class gives us a giant chance to grow and achieve greatly, by learning many new commands to improve our work. You represent yourself through your art work, thats what this class is about.
Digital Arts is the way I can bring my imagination to life for others to experience. It is a way to express your feelings and thoughts to portray a certain theme, message, emotion, or mood. I believe it is a place where people don't judge you, and where you can feel free to create what ever you want. Digital Arts is also a way to bring people together and grow and improve through the art.
