Somewhere- The Outback

I've never been to Australia. It's on my bucket list of places to visit before I die. Wish the photo of myself had not been so blurry, but the lighting and Iphone were not in my favor on it.

Somewhere- Jurassic Park

And in that moment I realized...that's a real dinosaur.

Art Project- Lady with a Unicorn by Raphael


(corrected version)
Our next project was to find a painted portrait and combine our image with it. I chose Lady With a Unicorn by Raphael and combined a photo of myself taken at Busch Gardens. So creepy....

AUTOSCOPY

For the autoscopy project, I felt really challenged on how to depict myself. I decided to center it around my zodiac sign, Leo, and some of the elements related around it. My birth stone is ruby, thus the crown upon my head. I fused my face with a lion, to show that I am a Leo. I feel like I am adventurous and a free spirit, so I added the wings of a hawk to symbolize my eagerness to fly off and explore the world. The background is like sunlight, the ruling "planet" of Leo signs. And lastly the fire tattoo. Although my element is supposedly fire, I am more drawn to water. Thus, I changed it to be blue, to symbolize a fire for things that I am passionate about and my love for the water and color blue. (Also it matched my scarf lol).

Recolored

Original Photograph

 Recolored (Looks like cotton candy!)
 
We had to select a photo of ourselves and transfer it to black and white. Afterwords, we used the brush tool to recolor the picture.
