I believe that I have met most of the objective goals, therefore the videos of the orcas were that they are in captivity or any other animal that is in an aquarium or zoo. My statement or message that I was trying to visualize is that Tilikum is the biggest whale in captivity, so in my political cartoon Tilikum is in a small fish bowl, which for me shows how all orcas or any animal that is in a zoo should be put back into its natural habitat. I think that information can be shown artistically with symbols and emotion, by how the artist is showing how he/she is feeling or any type of message they are trying to get to the viewer. Creating art differs from viewing art by how the artist feels, or their expression. So viewing the art you could either feel or see what the artist was feeling.
PRE HISTORIC ART HISTORY DRAWINGS
project description-
How we started doing this project was at first we started to draw wolves and other animal, then we started to draw other things or there started to be more options to choose from such as, nature and other kinds of animals like horses and giraffes and others. I think the whole idea of this project was “The Birth of Art”, and how they did art back in the pre-historic times. The resources I used to Improve my drawing skills were my peers, I asked my peers what I should refine to make better, they told me that I could improve the horses neck they said it didn’t look long enough, then I refined the drawing, then I asked them again, and so on. The image/ live trace in adobe illustrator has impacted my drawing by making it look cleaner and instead of drawing it different ways multiple times I could just scan any of my drawings and live trace it and I could have a variety of drawings. I could use the live trace in the future so that if I ever need to make my drawing larger, smaller, or in a different form I can use illustrator. My final thoughts of using this skill was that it could be very useful in the future and it was quite simple.
Self-Portrait:
artist reflection:
I did my self portrait the way I did because its a good thing being different then being like everyone else or trying to fit into society. The color represents me. The contrast of grays represent society and "everyone else." When it mixes in with the grays it shows that people are mixed in with society, not the same but just around everyone else.
Teacher Creature Project:
project reflection: At first I had to interview the teacher through email, then I looked for photos in a large size. Next I made a new document in photoshop and started making the project, I added a background, and started adding pictures and then refined each edge so that it will be in harmony with the background. I also made new layers for each picture, I also made a separate folder for this project,. The hardest part of this project was keeping up because sometimes I would get behind and would have to come in for lunch, another hard part about this was it not coming out as I wanted it to, and somethings I didn’t know how to do something more advanced on photoshop and sometimes there was no one around to help, but all the time I took and spent on this project was all worth it. My favorite part of this project was finishing it because I felt accomplished it. I have learned that I can accomplish something if I take time and effort, also make refinements so that I can make it better, and ask people if i need to fix anything, I have also learned that I need to tell my mom to make appointments after school because it has made me behind, I have learned that I can get irritated if something doesn’t come out as planned, so if you put your time and effort into something it will probably come out great, and feel accomplished.

Photoshop Tutorials:
In this tutorial I added a new layer and put the layer to soft light then color the hair and take the brush make sure the brush is feathered. Then I go to hue and saturation and can change the color to any color.
In this tutorial I changed the eye color from a green blue to a hot pinkish color. I first unlocked the picture then went to the pen tool and marked around the eye, next I used the control key and pressed U at the same time, it brings up hue and saturation, and from there I changed the color,
Landscape Project:
What I learned from this project is that you can use photoshop to make things look real when its not really in the photo but is made to look like its actually in the photo, it doesn’t just have to be a photo it can also be text, you could add textures to a text or shadows. If you work slowly you can get a project done neatly and it will take patience to get it how you want it, sometimes you can’t do something how you wanted to do because some things are limited. You’re going to have to make multiple drafts to make your work better. In photoshop it is good to build up layers not all just on one layer, it is good to work with layers so that you can go back and fix it if you need. Projects take time to get the requirements so that you could get a good grade. So overall take your time and effort, do the best you can for projects.
Name Project:
In this name project we went out into the environment around our school to take pictures of shapes or objects that would form a letter in our name. I used the basic skills that we learned earlier.
