Transformation Project

                                                                           Congratulations!

We lost out there!

                                                                   Give me the ball.

                                                     I've never spun a ball on my finger.

                                                       

I'm taller than you....

1. Who did you transform yourself into? Why?
2. What was most challenging about this project? Why?
3. What was simple about this project? Why?
4. If you could choose one more photo to add to this transformation project, what would you add?

          I transformed myself into a basketball player because basketball is one of my favorite sports and I've played basketball since I was only 8 years old. The most challenging thing about this project was getting the skin tone close enough to the real one. The simple thing about this project was picking my idea. I didn't what to pick so I picked the idea about being a basketball player. If i had one more photo to choose I would choose to be with the NBA champions taking a photo with the President. I would just add myself to it.

Transformation Brainstorm

1. If you could transform yourself into another person, who would it be?  Would it be a person of a certain occupation?  A celebrity?  A family member? A fictional character?
2. Why do you want to transform yourself into this person?
3. What locations will you photograph yourself in?
4. What props will you need in order to complete this transformation?
5. What research will you need to do in order to photograph yourself as this person?
6. Upload a photo of inspiration for your new character. Explain how you will create the mood and expression of that person in your photo series.

I would want be Ryan Higa he is a youtube sensational person. He is really famous on youtube and featured in some TV shoes. Or I would be a BasketBall player.

I would put myself like where he is in a home video making funny stuff. For props I would need to use shirts and sunglassses. I would have to find out from each video what he does most of the time. I would have to look serious and then say something funny.

American Photography (Part 3)

1. What event from this segment was most eye-opening for you? Why?
2. How have photographs changed the way we see the world?
3. What impact have digital photos had on the world?
4. If this video were to continue on to 2011, what events would be covered? What new technologies would you see?

I thought that was most eye catching was all the wars. Because it took a big effect in history. WWI WWII and Vietnam war were some of the big moments in history It was interesting that photographers go to the war and have their own life on the line.

2. Once a picture was taken you get a little bit of what happen and you think about what was going through their mind once they took it.

3.  It helped younger people see what happen back in the past. 

4. There would be 9/11, Iraq War, Elections, etc. I would see the same cameras being used.

Digital Collage

         In this collage there are many things appearing lakes, corvette, New York skyline, The White House, San Francisco,etc. I changed them all to soft light so it would adapt to the background. I couldn't decide what to put in the collage so I decided what my interests were and put those in. I used multiple backgrounds and use soft light. I thought what was must successful was the whole thing. And there would be nothing that I could change.

Quarter 2.... and your ideal world.

1. If you lived in your ideal world, what would it look like?
2. Where would it be? 
3. What colors would you see?
4. What objects or things would be common?
5. What objects or things wouldn't be common? 
6. What type of people would live there?
7. How would people interact with each other?
8. What else?  Tell me something unique about your perfect world.


1. It would look like everything I could imagine. Some where in New York
2. It would be in New York.

American Photography (part 2)

World War Two-  It was a important event in history, It was so important that everyone had to know about it. The Nazi's took jewish families and put them in concentration camps, they had them work till they collapsed and die or, being executed. Many people were affected by this tragedy, many countries were involved in this war.

The second raising of the flag on Mount Suribachi, Iwo Jima, Feb 23, 1945
 






The next event is 9/11 It was a sad day, no one knew it was going to happen till there was no radio contact with a plane and others were aware of it and prepared for a attack, President Bush was aware of it  till the first plane hit one of the towers. All commercial planes were ordered to land or they will be shot down. Then a second plane hit the other towers The President was frustrated on the next hit. Both towers collapsed very quickly.






This photo shows the twin towers collapsing.

I would document 9/11 it felt that it was important to everyone and it would be interesting to do.

• If you did this project over again, what would you do differently?

1. My best photo is Texture number 2. It had many things in it that catches you.

2. That you can be more creative of finding more random things. You could take pictures everywhere.

3. I would wanna explore more places to take photos.

    The subject in this photo is a very tall glass building.The angle of the shot is Asymmetry.

     Composition was that the person who took the photo took it from the bottom to the top. The reason why it is successful is that you have to guess what it is.

American Photography (part 1)

     The video was about how America got involved in to photography and how most people was interested in the making of photos. It showed that photography was used everywhere and how it was important to many others. Many Americans couldn't afford cameras so there would be a cheaper version of a camera which was called the brown box which was only a dollar.
      One of the examples that inspired Americans in to photography was shapes, people posing, advertisement, sports stars, etc.
     The second example that inspired America was that photos were showed everywhere and it was the trend in the 1800-today.
   The one thing that surprised me was that the camera was used during wars and it was used for a "weapon" taking pictures of war, dead people, and battle.
     There is only one question I ask, Did most Americans own Cameras for only for one reason?
    

What is Art?

What is the meaning of Art? Art is everything... It can be painted, sketched,or photographed. 

    Art represents itself. It means to me that people actually puts their thoughts on their piece. Shouldn't matter on anyones thought besides the artist.

An example of art is "The Scream".

What I know about art is that you have to be creative to design a perfect art piece.

What I want to learn about art is how to make it interesting to me.
