 Final 1-

For this photo i used the mixer brush tool and painted over the top of my original photo.

 Final 2-
Title- My friend Sami
For this photo I put a texture over the top of my original photo, and played with the color, and overlays.

Final 3-
Title- Jump
For this photo i played with the color, used a grain filter, and overlayed a photo of trees to add some texture. I also put the box around her to keep her as the focal point.

Surrealism Art Review

Traditional Surrealist 
Artist- Joan Miro
Title-Chiffres et Constellations
What i like most about this piece is that my eye moves around the entire layout. I like the colors used as well. The reds, blues, and black are combined well. I like the contrast with the thick black lines and the smaller thin lines. The little black dots seem to connect the lines. Overall I think that the artist did well with making it unified.

Digital Surrealist
Artist- Alan King
Title- Fractural Collaboration
I like the purple background color against the black and white checkers. I think that the checkers stand out a lot because of the background color. I also like the movement of the piece. In the middle I feel like it looks as it is in a spiral. This piece is similar to my Traditional Surrealist because it keeps your eye moving. There is one green square, maybe meant to be the focal point, i see it but i don't know if its the first thing i see. My eye is directed into a spiral motion.

Project 2 Story in a Photograph

I don't have much of a story other than i was in gymnastics in high school, and i love strawberry cheesecake pancakes from IHOP! Although you do hop in gymnastics moves so i feel like it fits well!

Elements of Design

 Color- f/ 14 1/500....I like how the bright yellow contrasts with the white snow.

 Line- f/ 13 1/320...I love the rustic look of this shot, and the cracked lines all moving together.

 Movement- f/ 14 1/400....... This is my favorite shot of all. I like how you can see the background through the swirl.

 Unity- f/ 13 1/320....The reflection on the window is my favorite part of this shot. I think it looks very crisp and clean.

 Value- f/ 13 1/320.....The tree bark show great value with the areas of light bark and dark bark. I like how they contrast each other.
