Light Art

This project was definitely one of my favorites. It was cool to have to think ahead and plan out what we would have to do and then being forced to work with the time constraint on the camera. It was also cool to see all of the different effects we could create with different tools and the different tactics we had to use to solve the problem of our photos being unclear or blurry. The biggest problem was getting the face mask to show up and not be just a blob of light.

Landscape

If you were in my painting you would smell the crisp pine trees and the clean air at the higher altitude of the mountains. You would feel the cool air blowing and see the snow at the peaks and the shadow on the dark side of the mountains. You would hear the woodland creatures in the trees and the brush and grass low to the ground.
My use of the color blue in the majority of the painting heightens the sense of a cooler temperature while the green pine trees make the smell of the pine needles on the ground and on the trees. The snow caps on top of the mountains also improve upon the illusion of the temperature.
