Canvas

 I was tasked to create a canvas for the class using Dreamweaver; I decided to do Audrey Hepburn because she is my idol. I've always loved this photo of her because it is so simple but really highlights her beauty and grace. I decided to colorize the image for this project, taking some creative liberties in what colors I think she was wearing, and tried to match her lips and eye color to her own. Furthermore, I added the tiffany blue background to reference her iconic role as Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's.




My love of Audrey Hepburn continued to grow throughout my time in middle school. So, when I was in 8th grade, I decided to draw Audrey Hepburn for my art class. My art teachers in middle school inspired me to explore my creative passions and continued to push me forward as a creator. This picture has meant a lot to me over the years. This picture secured my confidence as an artist and to this day is the drawing, I’m most proud of and know I will never be able to recreate. This drawing made a school offer me $5,000 more dollars a year to attend. And finally, this canvas is the only Hall of Fame I have received.

My love of the cinematic arts began when I was thirteen when I watched a movie that I had just heard of in passing, Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Since then, it has been my dream to become a filmmaker and eventually work to save classic films so they can once again be loved by a new audience.   In my digital media class, I am excited to learn about new ways to use technology and expand my knowledge of filmmaking. In this class, I not only want to learn about the technical aspects of digital media but how to apply these skills to furt

BW to Color

Image
  The BW to Color assignment was in my opinion one of the easier ones. Maybe not in the moment but for this assignment I love the skills I learned and how to do photoshop. In the past, Photoshop and I have not gotten along, but I think we’ve buried the hatchet. I also was able to use this assignment to get better acquainted with my drawing tablet, which is something I now love to use and will continue to do so. This assignment taught me a lot of patience. It was not hard, but it was a lot. What I am most proud of with this is the growth I did, from someone who hated photoshop to someone who may be semi-good at it
