Painted self-portrait

Image
REFLECTION:  This is was a cool project to do, it was fun playing with the colors and layers. I made 11 layers. I used the eye dropper tool so the colors could be exact to the image. The sun was hitting my face which made a dark brown color in my face, which looks like a shadow. I also used a very thin brush with very light skin color for the small wrinkles in my eyes. I also used a thin brush with black so I could see the model of my nose.  

Self-Portrait in color

REFLECTION:  I really liked this project, it took a little bit long but it was fun. I liked to play with the colors and the points. I used 7 layers and 5 of them are label. the easiest part for me was the jacket part but the hardest was the face. I think the face was the hardest because it had more colors and because it had to be more detail. there is some pink and green on the face. But it was fun to make this and I learned some things. 

Portrait in Type

Image
REFLECTION:  This was a really good and fun project to do. I did Marilyn Monroe for my portrait. I liked to play with letters and other symbols while trying to make a portrait. I never realized how cool, fun and creative is making a picture, portrait, drawing, etc... with type. I used capital and lower case letters. For the hair I used the "R/r", for the eyebrows I use the letter "M/m", for the eyes is used the letter "I/i", for the nose I used the letter "Y/y", for the lips I used the letter "O/o" which made the lips look very pretty, for the neck I used "N/n" and finally I used the letter "E/e" for some bottoms of the shirt Marilyn was using.

REFLACTION: This project was very fun to do. I made more than 8 layers. Most of the color was black. The most difficult part for me was the smile and the easiest was everything that is in black. my whole portrait is filled in with the gray scale .

It has 7 pictures of Colombia best places, popular dances, origin animals, where and how it was discovered, popular sport, and the flag. The pictures are also lined up with the grid and the texts.

Hierarchy on Grid

1st Hierarchy on Grid: for this one I fill in the top right corner and the bottom left corner. On the top corner I put the COPY COMPONENTS in the corner and on the left side fill in with random text and on the bottom also a random fill in text. On the bottom left I fill in with random texts, but in the very corner I did not played with the white space but for the rest on the bottom I did made some space in the text.  2nd Hierarchy on Grid:  for this one I played with rotation, I filled in all the sides and corners except for the middle ones. On the bottom I kept it right with no change and on the bottom right that's where I put the COPY COMPONENTS. On the left sides the texts are rotated and the same for the rest of the texts. It goes rotating clockwise.  3rd Hierarchy on Grid: for this one I fill in all the corners with random texts and in the middle I put the COPY COMPONENTS. 4th Hierarchy on Grid : for this one I fill in the middle column and starte...
