          The strongest technical aspects in all of my work is how they all had good lighting. in the magazine picture i could have added tissue paper, too make some gray show up, I also could have made sure there was less white by making sure there was no light. on my symmetrical picture i could have added a little bit of light so there was some light. On my test strip there was to much visible light.

          The easiest part of this project was the chemical process where we ran our photographs through the different chemicals to have our photos turn out. This was the easiest because all you had to do was shake the little tub and watch the clock, then take it out and change the tub and continue. The hardest part of this project was to make sure all of the photograms and test strips were exposed to no light until you were at your station. then changing the F stops being changed was a little difficult to see.

          In my photograms i demonstrate something different in each one. In my symmetrical photogram i really bring out the letters then use my dots as sort of an outline. In my magazine photogram i showed the human figure, but i exposed the photo to too much light making the photo more white than originally planned. In my landscape I brought out the army men by making them on gray paper which is on top of black so it really brings out the army men.

             The strongest technical aspect of my work is how I did my own thing. I erased my whole background then filled it in with my own photo. The part of this project that I can work on is how my Polaroids some of them don't look realistic on how I erased them. These are the aspects of my work that are good and need some improvement.

             The easiest part of this project was to find my picture of Kobe Bryant then erasing my background was also easy. The hardest part was erasing the Polaroids and getting rid of the Polaroids in the back. This was hard because it had to be perfectly fitted to his body.

in this i demonstrate kobe bryant by putting thee polaroids all around him, i also changed the background to a bright color, so he pops out. The polaroids, go around kobe to make it look like he's coming out of the pictures. if i could do this again i would make my polaroids neater and add another background.

The strongest technical aspect of my work is making the picture black and white by desaturating the image. This was the easiest thing to do because it was very easy i just had to go to image then go to adjustments the his desaturate.
The part of my work i could have improved on was my painting, i would change this by using the lasso tool to outline my picture with the marching ants so i could not paint outside the line.

This project was very easy, the easiest part of this project was to go online and get the photo of the tree, i knew i wanted the tree and this one stuck out so i chose it.
During this project was painting, because i could not stay inside the lines.

I demonstrated the objective by desaturating the picture and then coloring the tree with the history brush. If i could do this project over again i would outline the tree with the lasso tool so that the ants come up and i cannot go outside of the lines.

The strongest technical aspect of my work, along with many is how i retouched the painting. i used the paint in my work to make the face look realistic after changing the opacity. getting rid of the freckles was very easy, what i did was i touched the nose and then made my brush bigger to take up more space and get rid of more freckles at a time, then i moved my brush to the cheeks and then made my brush bigger and got rid of more freckles. the technical aspect of my work that can be worked on is the eyes, while i was whitening them it looked good at first but looking back at it they look very linear on the outlining, the blue is also way to sharpened it doesn't look real and neither does how white the outer eye is.

there wasn't to much to be done in this activity, there where both easy and hard factors in this activity. the easiest part of this activity was painting over the persons face after getting the color of they're face and changing the opacity, then just coloring over all the skin on they're face. the hardest part of this project was going over all of the freckles, you have to individually tap on each little section of freckles continuously you cannot paint and drag the brush.

in this painting I'm demonstrating the face and how nicely they go together. the eyes even though they are to sharped and don't look realistic they pop out the most and catch peoples attention the most. if i could do this activity over again and change something i would change that my painting looks a little bit off, i would also change the person i did to one whom had teeth to make those look nice and pop out too.

During this photoshop project i learned many things, such as how to do layers, how to paint with the paint brush, etc. this project was very cool, i enjoyed doing the painting.

the strongest technical aspect for my work is my painting skills, it is the only aspect i did in my work, this also is well because i stayed in the lines for the whole project. in this i can work on my layering, i often forgot to add a new layer. in this activity the whole thing was pretty easy, but i think the easiest part was how to make the picture look good and not color out of the lines, all you have to do is zoom. the hardest part of this project was how much painting you had to do. in this art activity i demonstrated this objective of my shoes by making them bright colors in front of darker colors. if i could do this activity again i would not do this picture because it has to much painting.

In this painting i did what i did because it looks good and the painting with the shoes looks good with the background, it also has value to me because i got the shoes with my family on a trip and i like to paint.
