AmyLee/Artist Statement 2010

This is my Artist Statement for the end of this semester. I thought that during my time in this class, I've learned and created new knowledge throughout using the Adobe photoshop software and also by using the camera. I think throughout this semester in this class what I thought that was the most hardest for me to do was editing the retro photos I think that was the most hardest part for me. But then I manage and it was good. What I liked most in this class was probably the time where we used the color paint bucket, and also the sponge tool from the adobe software, that was the most unique and interesting part that I liked doing. It made me started liking the editing of using the two tools. What I also liked about this class, was probably the burning Dvd, I thought that, that was pretty neat, and wished that I had more time on that. But its okay. I think making the Dvd was the most funnest part, that I enjoy learning how to do in here. Another thing that I learned throughout this class mostly basically about the editing of photos and I thought that it was nice. I don't have much to say about this statement so I'm guessing this is it. Thank you.

Typography Slideshow

Helvetica

Helvetica- is a movie that I watched in Media Art. The movie was about the font Helvetica, it wasn't just about that font, but other fonts too. The movie gave out a full details and description on how the font was made and created; it also told how fonts were being used in this world in certain ways to express and describe feelings and emotion. What I thought of the movie was, that the movie was a really unique movie, it was told in a well thoughts on how font was created. And I liked the movie, it was neat.

Retro.

This is an image that I found from the Google image search, and decided to do a Photo shop look a like of me. It's not that great yet, but I'm still trying to make it work. (: But so far, I'm getting used to the tools.

"Amy Lee/Artist Statement"

This is supposedly my artist statement about Photography. Throughout my work in editing and taking photos, of random things that I tend to see out of nowhere, I think that everything in this world called earth is interesting. I am really not much of a writer so writing this piece of artist statement may be kind of hard. But then in explaining my work of art/photography will be fine.

Ms. Canelake my photography art teacher seems to have given the class a lot of details and tips on editing photos and taking photos. So you can say I have learned a lot by taking this class.

Throughout my work of photography, I’ve come to find a lot of neat and very exciting things in this world, that sometimes appear to be usual. Most of my photos that I have taken are basically taken in Minnesota, which I’m very much fond of the unique things that this state has. I’ve never been out of state, so you can say that I haven’t explored yet out of this planet earth.

In my photography class, where we learned to edit photos in Ms. Canelake’s class we’ve been exploring the editing software of Adobe Photoshop, and so far, I tend to enjoy using the editing software so far. Through my work I’ve used a lot of tools so far, such as using sponge tools, to using a paint bucket, to using a gradient effect and filtering photos. Another thing that I have used so far throughout my editing work is desaturating photos into black and white photos.

What I like to do most by editing my photos, are changing the contrast and colors of my photos, I think that’s what I most find more appealing throughout all my photos. I love colors, so I think that’s something that I find really genuine. I think one of a well-known photographer that makes me inspired is probably Joel Meyerowitz who is a street photographer who tends to take pictures that deals a lot with colors, and I think that’s really cool.

So far, throughout all my photography experiences, I am still a rookie. But then I think I will soon grow and learn to be more of a better photographer then now. All my work is not yet the best, but then I am learning, and I will learn to grow, I am still a seed, yet not planted. But I will grow to be a better photographer. This is my artist statement for Ms. Canelake.

So Called Street Photos.

I was told to make a slide show of street photography. So yeah, here's my Street Photography slide show. (:
