I registered for photography at the end of freshman year, taking it as a class that I figured would be a lot like Art Design, which I enjoyed. I never thought I would learn the different techniques and programs that I did in this class. The most successful part of this year for me was the surreal images. I found it quite easy to use a simple object, like a flower and incorporate it in a creative way to make the images surreal. I found it easy for me to come up with ideas and make them surreal only using a camera and a few models. I think I learned most from 12 Days of Photoshop. The 12 Days of Photoshop seemed like a really fun idea, and it was fun but it dragged on sometimes. But this project made me develop as an artist, especially in Photoshop. I had to create many different images for this project in Photoshop and to create these images, I had to learn more to be able to achieve the image that I had pictured. The one piece of art that used my skills and techniques was the Selfie Project. The Selfie Project was a project that took one month to create and compile. The Selfie Project caused me to learn how to make very different photographs and make them mold together to create something to represents. The Selfie Project forced me to take all different aspects from my life and put them together in a way that was natural. I learned how to edit more precisely in Photoshop and deal with different opacities with the different photographs. The Selfie Project was a project that took a while, but in the end it made me a better artist and forced me to learn a lot in Photoshop. I also have a personal connection with my Selfie Project. I was really proud of my Selfie Project and the pictures in the project itself were pictures of all of my friends and family. I felt like the Selfie Project was a really good project to connect a lot of different aspects in life. I used different pictures and somehow managed to meld them all together to make a Selfie Project. This course was originally taken by me because I liked the teacher and knew that I had some experience in the class. Even though I’m not a spectacular artist, I learned a lot in a part of life that I wasn’t really confident in. I learned so much in the span of a year and I will miss period seven in this room next year.
