Rubric

Creativity: I tried to do something different then just take a picture of me facing forward and hopefully it’s interesting to look at.

Photoshop: I used a texture, Dodge/Burn, Brushes, and the selection tool since I took three different pictures (me, my hand, and the paperweight) and then hopefully fit them together so they  look natural.

Description

Colors – I used blue and purple because they are two of my favorite colors and I tend to think blue describes me pretty well; To me blue represents calmness and open spaces(the sky) but is also a slightly sad, cold and detached color.  most of the time I think i’m somewhat easy – going.  I also hate closed in spaces.  While I don’t think of myself as a pessimist, sometimes I am awkward around others, especially people I don’t know well.  As for the color purple, I choose to use it because it is one of my favorite colors and goes well with blue. I added the small bit of red to represent the full range of my emotions; it is unrealistic to never get angry.  The red represents the irrational part of me that acts without thinking.  I used red the least because I don’t consider myself an angry person and I try not to act in a way that later I would regret.

Music Notes – The music notes are pretty self explanatory; I like to play and listen to music.  It’s a large part of my life.  I play the Clarinet and a little bit of Piano, however I mostly just like to listen to music. I rarely go anywhere without my ipod and listen to all genres of music.  I don’t have many particular bands that I like to listen to, just a bunch of songs that I like.

Paint Splatter – The paint splatter represents the fact that I love to draw.  However I don’t use paint that much, I mostly stick to colored pencils, oil pastels, and markers.

Time and Effort: I used all of Wed. , most of Thurs. and spent some time working on it at home.  I didn’t use any of the time Fri. except to put it in the dropbox.
