Artists’ Statement: While graffiti is considered vandalism by many, it is also a form of art. Styles of graffiti give the piece its art validity. Graffiti has several styles which range from the very simple artist signature called a tag, to a very elaborate and planned out piece. Excluding basic tags, nearly all complex graffiti has a plan and meaning. The message in graffiti is either thought provoking like Banksy’s work, or just a belief of the artist, like in our piece. Our graffiti has a simple yet important message; listen to your heart. We find that this message applies to us (high school students) especially, as we’re getting ready to move out of our parents houses into the world. So when we listen to our heart we can find both the happiness and success we need to thrive.

Area Of PerspectiveIn this project it was really challenging for me because I was in a rush to complete my image so that I would not have to work at lunch. However I was in a rush a rush I still learned some valuable skills about photo shop. The most valuable thing I learned was that i you use a feather tool you can easily combine the clouds in your image and make a more seamless combination. I also learned of how to create a more appealing landscape. This project was very helpful because it was very informational and fun to create.

Description
In this project we learned the valuable lesson of how to make multiple images into one image. I used 18 images from the internet and our school photos. I turned Steve into a dragonfly first then added Donald Trump behind the tree. I proceed to add multiple images of buildings into the background. Then I added Torry as an owl and the river along with the dogs baby and deer. I then added the mountains and sky. The hardest part about this project is that we had to make it realistic looking. Steve was difficult to create a reasonable outline of purple skin. Then mirroring the wings was not super hard but rather difficult to make it look balanced. Torry was also difficult to create a realistic mask and two wings. Then making everything balanced looking was even harder to create. My style of art tends to create an odd sort of monster and or person. I enjoy creating a fully modified image that is in the outdoors. I feel that my style isn’t quite decided yet but I feel that I will manage to create my own art style in time. I enjoy nature so I feel that my picture was kind of guided to a full and complete image. It was a very fun project to create and complete. I hope we can do more fun projects like this in the future and I’m very happy that I got to do this. Thank you for letting us do this project.

Custom logo Project
This design was originally hand drawn then was scanned onto the computer to redesign it into another colors. I learned how To create a scanned version of a drawing. I will take away that from this project that you can create a drawing and be able to scan it and create an electronic version of it. The logo is connected to me because its my initials.
