Artistic Statement

For my portfolio you will find and see that some of my pictures are not very nice and they look a little weird. Though this is the first time that I get into a class for art and this is the first time that I get graded for my pictures. You will see that some of my pictures are creative and crazy although some aren’t. I feel that my portfolio is a little weak and I could have been a little more creative to have better pictures and I should have put some more effort for some of these pictures. That in a way it is hard for me because this is the first time that I start to use a professional camera and that I get into Photoshop.

I have learned so many things over the past semester and they are being very useful now that we do these other projects. I have learned things off of Photoshop and the digital camera. Like the different kinds of compositional tricks with these tricks it makes your pictures a little more unique and different from the other pictures. I have learned in Photoshop that you can cut something out and you can change the way that you look to make yourself look a little better and make your picture even better than what it looks like.

I think that I was most successful with the project of personal words. I think that was the only project that came out how it was supposed to. It was even easier because I already had an idea of what it was going to look like although I didn’t think that it was going to look so nice. I thought that the personal words project was easy and exciting. I really struggled with the compositional trick simplicity. I thought that it had to be just a boring picture. It was hard for me to find a simple background and I just was a little confused and didn’t know what to do.

I need a little improvement on having ideas and knowing what I am going to do because without that I will be confused and the projects won’t come out right. I could also have a little of improvements on Photoshop because I still get a little bite of struggles on that. I have seen improvements in me taking pictures. Some of my pictures look a little weird although actually they end up looking nice or a little better than how I had started. Like if I take all the pictures that were when I had started then the pictures would look better and you could see the difference. I love this class because it has given a better idea on what is beauty and what is art and the way that I see the world.
