Artist Statement

Well First of all what you will be able to find in my portfolio is a variety of pictures assigned by the teacher but created by me. My pictures are fun and thought out thoroughly. Some of the projects were not exactly what I had imagined but I always tried my best. You can also find all of my work and my reflections about it. I feel that my portfolio is pretty good because it is easy to read organized and full of color.
The favorite thing in my portfolio is basically the whole setup all of the picture have like something on common that makes them look like they belong together. They all have that something that lets you know that I created it. It may sound weird but that’s what I think.
My favorite thing looking back was that we were able to take control on our projects and that we were given sufficient time to complete our projects. We were taught many awesome techniques that were very helpful while creating the projects. Over the year I have learned many things especially to use Photoshop first of all. And also how to adjust the camera to take way better pictures. What I struggled the most with was the picture taking part especially when I had to be in the project because don’t like to take pictures of myself much I would much rather take pictures of other people or other things. I think that I could improve my camera skills by exploring more with the camera and figuring out on my own how it works.
What I feel that was an influence for all of these projects was that they actually related with things that are happening or were happening in my life. Which is really cool. I have really seen improvement with all of my artist statements because I feel that my point of view has changed since I have started to see things in a different perspective.

Personal Metaphor "An Angel slowly resigning to accept it's individuality as if there was no alternative

“An Angel slowly resigning to accept it’s individuality as if there was no alternative.”
Basically I chose this metaphor because in life there are so many drastic changes that most of the time you have to accept but then there are times where you are so used to something that you just don’t want a change. It actually took me a while to figure out the metaphor so it wouldn’t sound so weird but I still think it could have sounded way better. In this picture well obviously it’s me with wings because well I am so used to trying to make the right decision even though to me it’s unfair or just not right. And sometimes well you slowly have to resign what you want to do or what is right to you to please others that are important to you in life.
What I think that I did well in this project was the colors I think that all of the colors complemented each other and fit in perfectly. But on the other hand I think that there is something missing in the picture. At the top of the picture there could be less blank space even though that is how the actual sky is a blank space. First of all trying to figure out what and how to place the things on basically a blank canvas is sometimes very tough. And at the end I feel good about my work that I have created but I still think that there is something missing.
