Artist's Statement

My portfolio is all about what I did in Photography class for the past semester. My portfolio shows how my work was in the beginning of the year and also shows how my work turned out by the end of the year. I think that my portfolio turned out pretty good for the most part because there is a lot of interesting pictures.

Last semester I learned all kinds of new things , from learning how to add a shadow to a picture to how to make something blend good enough so that things look real. I also learned lots of new vocabulary and what a camera can really do besides taking pictures. I feel like I was most successful with working with Photo shop and learning all the different kinds of things you can do. What I had struggled with the most was paying attention when we're all being taught Photo shop at once. It was real over whelming for me to get all the steps and I was afraid I would fall behind...For me that was fustrating!

I hope to improve in everything. When I take pictures or work with Photo shop I can improve in all the detail.Some of my influences were getting the chances to see a new artist work every week.Getting the chance to see what they're capable of doing made me want to think harder about my work.
I feel like I have improved in taking pictures. Now I know that I am not suppose to put the main subject right in the middle of the picture. Another thing that I will make sure to look out for when taking pictures is the lighting,which can make a big difference. I also know that if I want to make a picture more interesting I can add leading lines.I hope you enjoyed looking at my profolio as much as I enjoyed taking this class!!

Selina, your portfolio was missing quite a few posts, along with a couple of the larger evaluations, which unfortunately effects your grade. Your artwork was always fun to experience when you got pressured into finally doing it. Your personal metaphor is GREAT- and creepy, but great! I was really impressed with you. I am glad you have been in my class, and I hope you continue taking artsy photos often.
