Our Final Critique is here!
At the beginning of the semester I wasn't exactly sure what I would be creating for this class. I still took photos for fun, with no meaning or purpose behind them. Through out the semester I have slowly learned how to create a photograph with meaning behind it. I am, very slowly, starting to find my voice within my art. I haven't fully found it, but I'm getting there. The first two images are similar, but slightly different. The first image is representing a girl that is looking out into the world with broken eyes. She can't see the world around her clearly anymore. This image really speaks to me, because girls have so much pressure put on them to be perfect and that people around them can't tell that they are breaking apart inside. Most girls can put on a happy face, when they are depressed and unhappy and this image is taking a look at what is hiding beneath the fake smile. The second image is working with the same concept as the first one. I made the eye more cloudy, as though her vision is blurred and that she can't see the world around her clearly, because she has been fed all of these ideas that she has to be perfect or else no one will like or accept her. The cracks in the eyes, are form an image I took earlier in the semester of some cracked and pealing paint and then I manipulated it, so it seemed as though the girls eyes are cracking. The last image doesn't follow the theme of the first two images. This image is more whimsical and happy in a way. I took the eye of a cat I photographed previously and manipulated it onto my friends eye. I also learned a new filter to use in Photoshop, from my Raster class, it is called Liquify. I used it to create the pointed ear and to make the eye bigger and to have it bulge out more in the image. All three of my images go long with what I have been creating this semester. I have been working with textures and eyes a lot. I put the textures into my photos to add something small that catches the viewers eye in a subtle way. I don't like to have my images over powering to the viewer. I like having my photographs simple, yet intriguing at the same time. This class really helped me to improve as an artists and it helped me to find my artistic voice a little bit.
