Evaluation:
Preparatory Work:
The theme was portrait distortion, and i had to experiment with all the different ways to do this. We researched a few artists, and i got a few ideas from their work.
We look at Erin Case, and looked at the way she put landscapes into the face. i liked her work, but when i did it, it didn't look that good. This helped me become more confident cutting things out on photoshop.
Through this project, i have become more confident using photoshop, and I'm more confident cutting things out.
I think that i have done well with the fragmentation pieces, because I liked the way you had to build up all the different layers. And i think that it looks good like that in my final piece.
I think that i could improve on my blending, because i think it looks ok, but it could be better.
I want to do a few more erin case portraits, because when i did one, i didn't do one well. And i would have liked to become more confident doing these. Also, i would have liked to do another hidden thoughts portrait, because i really enjoyed that, and i would like to play around with that more.
Final Piece:
I have used lots of colour blended into the face of each individual piece, then put them all together.
I am very happy with my final piece, because it has quite a lot of colour in it, but not too much, and i like the way i have blended all of the faces together, because you have to look really carefully to see some of the faces.
If i could change anything, i would have moved some of the pictures around a little more, because on the left, they are all really close together, and on the right, they are just around the edges.Also, i would have taken photos of someone in normal clothes, not school uniform.
