Edward Gorey

This is my Edward Gorey assignment! This was based on Edward's very morbid and macabre Gashlycrumb Tinies Alphabet book. This book was about how different kids died, in alphabetical order of names. On a happier note, this assignment, I thought, allowed me to show more of my funny and unique side. I wish that this project could've lasted a little longer because it was so much fun!

Here is a link to the Gashlycrumb Tinies Alphabet book: http://www.brainpickings.org/2011/01/19/edward-gorey-the-gashlycrumb-tinies/

Mona Lisa

Once upon a time, there was a woman named Mona Lisa, who didn't have any eyebrows and who hated wearing all those fancy clothes (I mean, look at her smile; she's not happy). 514 years after she was painted on a canvas (1503), she was put into Photoshop and found her true self: Eating at the burger shop with some ketchup and mustard. In this Mona Lisa, I started with trace all of her features. After tracing, I replaced her old dress, with a jacket, using the Photoshop fill tool. Additionally, I put in a new background and added a tablecloth for the restaurant.  I also added one of my favorite art pieces I made in 6th grade of ketchup and mustard. This involved a lot of .JPEGs and hard work, but in the end it was really worth it. I have really enjoyed this project, because I got to show you what Mona Lisa should be like.

Shadow Study

These are the shadows for my Shadow Study! For this assignment, I took pictures of the shadows I found around me. I thought this was really cool because I was able to play around with the lighting and angles of the sun, in order to capture these photos. I hope you enjoy!!!

Colonial Pop Art Project

So, a few Fridays ago, we had a Freaky Friday Day, where some of the teachers switched classes. For digital art, my teacher, Mrs. Forrest switched with Mrs. Zangara, an 8th-grade history teacher. During that class, we learned the history of pop art, which is making a very simple, ordinary thing and making it special and unique. I decided to take a barrel and a goat (my favorite animal) and make it awesome using Photoshop!
