Artist Reflection (Polaroid's) 

The strongest visual area of my finished art piece is the way I positioned my Polaroid’s. I positioned them in a way where they looked purposely scattered. I think this was my strongest part because I had more leeway to recreate an image, manipulate what was there and portray what I wanted.  I think I could have been more creative, I should have done more with the image. It can be improved because the next time around, I plan to step out of my comfort zone, and explore the horizons of my art piece. I could have also added more color to the art work.

I utilized the selection tool, free transform tool, saturation tool, the magic wand tool, and the type tool. I used the selection tool to select the images and Polaroid templates. The free transform tool was used to rotate and scale the Polaroid’s. The saturation tool was used to change the colors of my original image and enrich the dull colors. I used the type tool to add text to my image. The magic wand tool was used to rid of unwanted sections of my original uploaded image  

The easiest part about this activity was having the versatility to do what you desired. Granted, there where rules in place but the route we choose to take was entirely up to us. The difficult part about this project was putting your vision into the works and getting everything how you wanted it to be placed. I demonstrated each of the objectives by, (1) intentionally placing the Polaroid’s in a position to make them look scattered, (2) altering the image so it’s not in its original form by adding color to my eyes and a tattoo on my sisters shoulder , and lastly by adding text to the image. If I could do this assignment again I would choose a different image so that I could add more of my own to the image, instead having to work around it like I had too. On a scale of 1-10, I would rate my effort a 6.5, I feel like there’s always room for improvement and I should’ve stepped out of my comfort zone.
