Underwater.
One type of photography that I have always wanted to try is an underwater shoot. For some reason every time time I look at underwater photography it really inspires me. The interesting shapes the clothes take on underwater and the movement of the hair is beautiful. To me everything is just so much more delicate and beautiful underwater. I can't wait until the day that I can do this. The only thing holding me back is the equipment. So until then I will just keep admiring.....

Show Season
Show season is beginning and what pieces do I want to enter?
1. Finley - this by far has ben my most successful piece at previous art shows this year. I also just really love how Finley is placed in the picture.
2. One Leg - For some reason I just find this picture really interesting. It shows movement and also the composition of the boy is interesting in the way he is standing.
3. Center of Attention - This piece is different from the rest of my work, because it has color. This piece actually shows that I can do something other than black and white images.
4. Solo Act - Another Finley picture. She has been in some of my most successful pictures. I think it is because the way I show children is unconventional and unposed that make her such a success as my model.
5. Behind the Shadow - I had always wanted to do a shadow shoot, and I think it actually turned out really well. If you look at the picture it looks nothing like my sister in person. I also really like the way that her eye look in the photograph.
I feel that everyone in this art portfolio class excels in there own style, so I can't necessarily say that one student stands out from the other for the simple fact that no one in this class produces the same art. We each have our own ideas and projects that are completely different. My work stands out from my peers because it is completely different from everyone. I am the only one in this class that is solely committed to photography.
I like art shows! I think it is a good accomplishment to be a part of art shows so I don't take it for granted. Yes it hard work trying to get everything ready for the shows so yes it is frustrating, but also in the end it is worth it. And yes I have anxieties about the art shows because even though I like and understand my art doesn't mean that the judge necessarily will. I know I will complain about all the upcoming art shows because that means that I have to do more work. But hey I am LAZY!! It will be worth it when it is all over with.

Sketch Style.
This week we have a still life to draw. I hate still lifes. For some reason I can never get it to look right. The shapes are usually okay, but I never get the shadows and highlights to look right. I think that since i have it in my mind that I will not like it I don't really try my hardest. Cause once I mess up the first time I don't really go back and try to fix it. So instead of trying to make the still life to look really realistic I think that I am going to try a different style, possibly a sketch style?! I haven't decided. I just know that still lifes are not my strong suit. So instead of attacking it in a defeated manner I think I will just look at it a different way.
an example of the style I may try.....

bored...continued
So supposedly free choice blog means talk about art, so to comment on my blog lets talk about how the site that I listed to give people entertainment are actually works of art.
Postsecret-----
Looking at this site it shows me everyone is a little artist in their own right. You can tell that everyone if they try to be is creative, and it really inspires me. It has helped me to believe that art is not a joke. It can be very therapeutic and allows me to express myself.
Awkward Family Photos----
So since I am into photography and this site is from professional photos it is almost educational for me. I know the pictures are funny, but it shows me what not to do. ha So even though yes I laugh at the photos it is a clear reminder of poses and lighting gone wrong and I am thankful for that.
I hope this fills in my "related to art" requirement.
