My photographer was Man Ray and he was born in South Philadelphia on August 27th, 1890. Man Ray was a huge part of the Surrealist and Dada eras of art and he revolutionized different techniques of photography like solarization and ready-mades. He first became interested in photography when he began to go to galleries when he was 11. Man Ray's photography inspired many other photographers once he died on November 18th, 1976 in Paris, France.
This is the alphabet that I made by complying different types of letters together. I made this using Adobe Illustrator and by using different types of letter I found around the school. I liked this project because it was two parts, the name game and the actual alphabet. I could have formatted this better and made the letters look more organized, but i thought that in general that it was a fun project and it was fun using Adobe Illustrator.
I took this picture a few months ago, and at first I thought the project had to be a selfie. I used photoshop to change the gradient and find a color scheme that I liked. Then, the edited picture was projected onto the wall and I traced it. I traced the lines of my face, my shirt and my hair. Then using purple as a base color, I used white and purple to create different shades to make the gradient. I used the different colors to create the portrait. I found that it was hard to paint my face, and I wish I used a different photo. I think that I could have re-painted my face to make it look more like me, but considering my art skills, I liked the end product.
